    Only if you take an objective approach and have more than one guinea pig (for a more balanced view) - i.e. buy one for me too (and pay for it). :T

    You overestimate Trevor's generosity to Mrs C at Christmas time! (This will surely be a free item, in keeping with this forum's approach??)

    Maybe if I press the Thanks button now (before TC comes back on), I will stand a better chance to get my freebie, Mrs C can wait for her present another year!

    Thanks Andrea.

    Applied for phone on Sunday morning.

    Its a 12 month contract with 9 months free. With Quidco CB it will work out to £50 which seems good for the phone, as the cost of it elsewhere is around £50 so effectively get the mins and texts free.

    I was particularly interested in sending my CB Claims by email.

    Several emails keeping me informed of each stage of process.

    I selected RM Delivery.

    Just got email saying will be delivered tommorow.

    Thats £90 for the 12 months then me thinks.

    Still a bit of a gamble £90 to get back £270 - I would prefer better odds given the feedback I have seen about mobiles.co.uk :eek:.

    Good luck claiming.
