Hoping I haven't made a mistake?

Hi!

I've just, on the spur of the moment, bought a OSPS deal (http://www.onestopphoneshop.co.uk/index.php?&B

for a K750i with 12 months free line rental - I already have a contract, and, in fact, the same phone, but it's old and playing up and a brand new one for free would be nice. So before it's too late to cancel is there anything the matter that I haven't noticed with this deal or with OSPS? I know that getting the cashback, cancelling insurance, etc, takes some effort, but if I do it right will the contract be genuinely completely free?

Just having "eeek I hope this doesn't cost me lots of money" thoughts, hope someone can reassure me or point me in the direction of a problem.

Matt

(Oh, and does "clearance" stock mean anything other than just "cheap"?)

    By using reconditioned/clearance stock, we are able to offer you even further savings on your monthly line rental!

    These items are either ex-demonstration, trial or mail order returned. These are not flawed products although they may carry very minor cosmetic marks. For your peace of mind, each and every handset has been quality inspected by our engineers & reconditioned if necessary. Each handset also comes with a full years manufacturers warranty.

    Please note that reconditioned handsets are usually repackaged once tested and do not come in the original branded box. These products are only packaged with a manual and charger, other accessories and memory cards are not guaranteed.

    if you after this phone, you might want to consider order it from e2save. they are doing the same phone (clearance) probably on the same netwrok as well. But the cashback claim process suppose to be more simple (no claim voucher, just print off some pdf from their site will do), and they spell out when you should send back your bill clear on T&C.

    The term 'clearance' usually indicates handsets that have been reconditioned following a customer return or repair.

    Here's the info direct from the OSPS website:

    Though I do not personally recommned OSPS, you are correct that the contract will be free for the duration of the 12 months assuming you meet the cashback Ts and Cs and don't go over your monthy allowance of minutes / SMS .
