Free mobile phone with free line rental

Hi All,

I've seen some wonderful finds here, so I felt I should share my seasonable freebie I get every year or so.

Every once in a while, you can get a free mobile phone with free line rental for the term of the contract from carphonewarehouse. Here's the current freebie

http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/commerce/servlet/gben-pd-ProductDisplay?PN=SPECIAL.PAYMONTHLY.PMOFFER8&origin=SPECIALOFFER&tabname=

I've used this in the past, and it works! you pay your monthly line rental, then you send your bill back every 4, 8 and 12 months, and you get a cheque sent back. So that's free line rental with free minutes, and a free phone!!

Pretty good, eh?

    The Pink Motorola L6 on O2 Leisure Time Plus, same free line rental deal

    You can go through Pigsback for 2000 points or Quidco for (I think) £30 cashback too

    However,
    It is not a no spend required freebie as you have to pay your line rental upfront and then claim it back.

    The best place to post this is here. http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/forumdisplay.html?f=14

    Also when going for a cashback deal make sure you use quidco or rpoints etc

    I am making money from getting the se w800i free for 11 months with £41 cashback. :)

    You could always get your number ported over from Tmobile.
    Bet match total as of 04/10 = God Knows + About £1000 Quidco. Time for Mrs Huddsta to have a crack!!!

    and be warned i had a contract with BT Mobile great first year took new contract and phone again BT Mobile cannot get a signal, they use vodaphone to carry theirs . so if you are in a poor signal area check who actually supplies the airtime.

    Nothing to do with BT or any other provider, it's carphone warehouse that gives you the money. Re. the contract, just state you want to cancel contract in 11th month, i.e. providing 30 days notice. I've not had the contract with O2 via carphone warehouse, but i've had it with orange, and cancelled no problem

    It's still a great offer and is ultimately free. It's a shame that some people are so quick to jump in and be negative :confused:

    More negatives!! As lamp says, you get the money back from carphone warehouse regardless. If the signal is really a problem get the phone unlocked and use one of the many free sims available!
