12 months free contract?

MrGreen44

Was looking for phone deals came across

http://www.free3gmobilephoneoffers.co.uk/gift_deal.asp?gift=12--Months--FREE--Line--Rental

If you look down the list some are showing for free, sounds too good to be true

Are these deals correct?

I recommend you do a LOT of research, staqrting with this:-

These deals are actually pretty disappointing by previous and long-standing offerings. However, since you don't know what you're doing don't get involved unless you are prepared to do a LOT of reading. There are hundreds of threads on here about such deals (and, more importantly, dealERs).

Correct all right, if you get all your cashback. Go via a reputable company.
Also go via a cashback site (Quidco, TCB etc.), the link is a comparison site and will get the cashback if you go via them from the affiliate network.
Take care, seek advice and get it clear in your head what is involved before diving in.

You're not kidding, I need a new contract for my son soon and not much decent about. I was hoping for some "Bank Holiday" offers from Phones4u. M2YD etc.

Well they look too good to be true, else I would have got my two daughters a mobile each...
Yeah research is the key... but figured comparison sites were for that guess I was wrong

Back to the search

Thanks for your help

Depending on how many minutes your daughters need, this may be one of the safer options at the moment (easy to follow cashback terms, and they pay up).
Only 250 mins. and 100 texts though:

12 month contract @ £30 per month, 10 months cashback (£300) and £30 cashback via Quidco etc.

So, basically only £30 for a phone (clearance model) and a full 12 months calls and texts (within allowance) - if all goes to plan and you claim correctly.

Good luck on whatever you decide and remember there is always help on this forum, get it before you act. I'm holding back for hopefully a better deal.

You are better off getting sim-only contracts. You can move in and out of contracts, if you are not happy. You get more minutes and texts for your children. You can port your number and just give them a months' notice. You will be responsible to provide your unlocked phones. I gather ASDA do sub-£10 phones.

We were talking about pay as your go last night currently its £10 top up a month... sim-only may be the way to go again something I will look into
