Hi all

Everytime I think about changing my contract, i become all of a baffle and cant see the wood for the trees. However, its easier than ever now as 3 & 02 are the only 2 providers that get reception in my flat!

Currently I have 3 contract, 3000 off peak minutes, 200 texts for £35 a month. Im ALWAYS within this limit these days.

I dont need this really, and am hoping for something around the £20 mark.
Probably need about 1000 minutes really, and 200 texts if I can... Oh and I HAVE to have a nokia- just cant use anything else, try as i might!!

So any ideas? I use quidco, so would like to use that for deals if I can :money:

Many thanks
Lynz

    You could try www.e2save.co.uk and look into the 02 off peak tariff which comes closest to what you want 1000 op mins but 100 texts doubles for 3 months for £20 and there are a few nokias for you to take your pick and also go via quidco or rpoints too.
    The more i save the more i can spend:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    thanks for your advice there GK172.

    Im looking on the site now, and what is the catch with the Leisure tarriff? Anyone know? It seems that I can get 1000 OP mins & 100 texts a month for free? 12 month contract, 12 months free?
    Surely this has to be the best deal in the world- surely theres a catch?

  • Check this deal:

    http://www.dialaphone.co.uk/mo5/offer/18O25X1/

    Sell the samsung on ebay for around the £150 mark and use that to buy yourself a nice new nokia 6111 for about £105 and you have a great tariff, a nice new nokia and £50 in your pocket.

    Less my commission of course. lol
  • The e2save deal looks like you have to pay the monthly tariff cost and then claim it back at regular intervals. If you don't claim it back you don't get it. There will probably be some form of time limit on the reclaim process.

    I reckon they bank on people forgetting to claim or losing the paperwork etc.

    Yes you pay the £20 every month then claim it back at months 4 8 and 12 but e2save is one of the most reliable of the cashback deals and being part of carphone warehouse a pretty safe bet.
