Hello all!

I have checked out Reestit's site for deals, using the options there. But, I can only find the deals we want with LG phones icon9.gif

Are there any deals with ...
Anytime X-net minutes 200 minimum
Minumum 300 texts
On a 12 month contract with cashback ... ie. get it for free'ish icon10.gif

Would prefer phones like the K750i W800i, V3 or well, I'm not to up on phone's but don't like big bulky ones like the LG or the ones with thick ariels icon11.gif

Thanks in advance guys.

ps. Does anyone know if the Orange off peak 1000 has any text messages included?
I can say whatever I like here ... 'cos no one can see me .. ner ner ner ner ner !!!....

How do you know I ain't sitting here butt naked?!?!

I thunk I've made you think for a minute!
:j :rotfl: :j

    I'm afraid not,
    It would be nice if all contracts had 50/100 inclusive texts,
    I know o2 do 100 texts with thier contracts.

    With that many minutes and texts you won't get the latest phone for a good price too.

    The best I could do was:

    https://www.e2save.com

    o2 200 (200xnet mins, 100 texts)
    samsung d500 (7 months @ 0.99, 5 months @£30)
    Quidco -£31.50
    o2 bolt on for 200 extra texts a month = £108

    Total price £233.50
    £19.46 per month

    Thanks Darren ... we have already got the D500 and after the screen going AGAIN!:rolleyes: we would rather avoid that phone.

    If it's a choice between minutes and texts, I would rather go for the higher texts.

    Ok last try:

    o2 online students

    £25 per month
    100 mins
    500 texts
    Ericsson w800i free
    Quidco - £35

    = £22.08 per month

    Thanks so much for your help Darren icon7.gif
    Is that from the O2 website right?

    Found the online 100 with 150 mins and 750 txt for £25. But, there is no cash back on the O2 website!icon13.gif

    1) the 750 text is with an 18 month contract so be careful!!

    2) you buy it through https://www.quidco.com for the cashback

    Oh dear ... didn't notice that!

    Ok, when I said cashback ... I meant when the retailer gives you cash back after x amount of months .... is there another name for it? Think I have misled you there.

    There is no cashback with this deal - it is a straight deal from o2.

    There are no cashback deals I know of with the phones you want or texts you want so this is the best value deal I could find.

    Unless anyone else has any ideas?

    o2 give good retention deals aswell if you look at the threads, I was offered 100 anytime mins and 300 messages for £10 a month with new phone, or same deal with £100 credit and no phone.

    I took the £100 credit so only £20 for the whole year.

    Anyway, next year you could get the deal much cheaper (not with a mega expensive phone).
