Best Deal for new Contract and has anyone else dealt with Jag?

J20BABY

Currently with 02 through phones4U, have 2 months left on my contract but my N95 is playing up and keeps saying 'insert Sim' so I have to turn it off then on again to try and text. Have decided I want the Sony Ericcson W995
So...have shopped around,
the best deal online is:
T Mobile, 700 mins, 3000 texts for 18m ~£20 a month after cashback but will add £5 for internet

OR

Jag will more or less match it but for £30 a month and £70 to buy me out, Phones4U and Carphone Warehouse where not interested and to be honest Phones4U where rather rude, so would prefer not to use them again.

So heres the thing-Do I
A-go with the online option and accept that I may have problems with the cashback, company or it being a refurbished handset.

B-Go with Jag, who seemed quite helpful the 2 times I went in and really tried to match the online deal I had seen, but couldn't.
or
C-hold out for a bit longer to see what other options become available?

The minimum I want is
A Silver W995
300 or more Mins
400 or more texts
some Internet
18 months contract
and would prefer £70 to buy me out of contract.
Preferably £25 but realise I may need to go to £30.

Any of you phone experts help me please?

Anyone have any advice please? Have looked at mobilesforyou.co.uk but put off by the threads on here.

The best deals I have seen for the w995 have been on buymobilephones.net or a couple on dialaphone.com - at least one of these (or maybe both) are cashback deals.

You are confusing mobiles2yourdoor (part of phones4u) with mobiles.co.uk (part of CPW) I think.

Not sure which one is the better company to go through?

If its a cashback deal that you choose, use phones4u (online not high street shop, you have added safe guard of sending back phone within 14 days if something goes wrong).

If its not cashback, then use whichever is cheaper.

Thats the rule of thumb I have used for many years - cpw cashbacks are a bit more tricky than phones4u.

Remember to use quidco if you can.

I have never used buymobilephones.net so cant say much about them - not heard anything bad thus far about them.

The t-mobile offer you mentioned in your first post looks pretty good.

They are on the list of websites falsely displaying the Internet Shopping Is Safe logo (ISIS) and are unauthorised

I visited the Jag site, never heard of them before - personal choice and trust thing - I prefer to use well known brands if its a cashback deal. Otherwise I would use Jag or whoever as long they are cheap.

Thank you.
They're actually in a shopping centre- the one I went into, but the originally 'seemed nice' lad was a big arrogant when I went yesterday, He also couldn't work out that £5x18 Months is £90 without a calculator:rolleyes: and didn't believe me when I told him, He also said that they had been in business 10 years, yet when I looked at their website it says 8 years. Needless to say, I will not be using them, would really prefer not to have to use cashback, but it seems they're going to give me the better deal.
