LG Cookie KP501

This is the phone my 11 yr old daughter wants!
I just want to find the cheapest way to get it, I have just signed up for quidco in case that helps but have never used it before. I expect it will be a payg deal, but maybe there are good tarriff options, I don't know, but I would consider £15 as definitely too much, hoping to pay much nearer £10 per month (£120 over a year).

It is her first phone and I imagine use will initially be very low, but no doubt will build up but I expect it to stay low for at least a year

Any suggestions appreciated :-)

    ok, i'll try and explain this right lol.

    If you sign into quidco, then go to Dialaphone. Once you get onto dialaphones page just alter the web address to www.dialaphone.co.uk/youatwork that has an offer so you should receive £45 automatic cashback from dialaphone, you should get £60 Quidco, you can get the LGCookie free (if thats the one you are after), its currently on 12 month contract with 8 month free with Tmobile (you have to claim this in 3 seperate claims, just send phone bill in).
    The monthly effective cost is £10 a month with cashback etc, but dont forget you are also getting the £60 quidco and the £45 dialaphone.

    Obviously cashback is never guaranteed so bear that in mind. but my Tmobile tracked, the dialaphone site tells me my automatic cashback is being paid in June and I get 8 months line rental free. Anyone going through Quidco you MUST clear cookies before you visit the pages otherwise this might affect tracking for you.

    I hope I explained that right lol, if not let me know and i'll try again. or for a better explanation go over to hotukdeals as thats where I seen this offer at.

    sounds perfect thanks - it is the KP500 but from what I can see it is the same phone, the KP501 is just the model name they give under Orange.
    I don't want to risk any cashback deal thanks!

    sounds like you could in theory just pay £15 for the year :-) - but if you don't get the cashback you have to apply for then it would be £255 and I don't want to risk that!

    Forget about any Quidco cashback and if you get it then its a bonus, you can still claim 3 payments back, It works out overall £10 a month and get a free phone. Its a 12 month contract, 300 minutes & 200 texts.

    Take from the site :
    8 months FREE line rental (Discount worth £240.00!)

    For 8 months of your contract line rental is FREE! (Thereafter £30.00 per month). That's a saving of £240.00!

    Your £240.00 saving is available by redemption in 3 stages: £75.00 at month 6, £82.50 at month 9, £82.50 at month 12


    Payment by direct debit is mandatory.
    FREE Online itemised billing is also included with this deal.
    This is a minimum 12 month contract.

    You cancel the insurance, make sure you REMEMBER to send the bills in on time and you get the cashback.

    Edit : I know you said you didnt want cashback deal but this might be useful for other people. Ive had no problems getting line rental cashback when you send claims in.
