    Thats not so bad then. Are you sure about the 17.50 for the first 3 months?

    I think so, because the total cashback they state they will give is '£367.50'
    Which works out as:

    17.50 x 3 = 52.50 +
    35 x 9 = 315.00
    Total = 367.50

    One of my friends is already on 3 and they told me they automatically apply the half price deal for the first 3 months.
    Do phonebox direct stick to thier cashback?
    Let's hope so!
    ah, the deal is no longer there.
    They have other 12 month cash back deals over here...

    'Clareski' mentioned above that the mobile outlet are doing the same deal but stocks are apparently limited.

    I haven't been that impressed with The Mobile Outlet.

    My order for the "Straight-To-Wok Noodle" Phone (which is what my work colleagues have called the Amoi MOS1) a while back. It was Saturday the 11the of Feb at midday-ish. It was on the same deal as the 6280 is currently. It did warn me that the handset could take upto 5 days to deliver. So come the Friday, it hadn't arrived. I gave it until the Tuesday, and so when I got home the next day, where it had now been 8 working days since I ordered the phone, I rang them up to ask what was happening.

    I spent over half an hour waiting on the phone to speak to someone, and when I finally got to speak to someone, they told me they don't have any stock of the phone! To rub salt into the wound, they couldn't give me a date as to when they were expecting more in, so they couldn't tell me when I could expect mine.

    It finally came the following Wednesday.

    Needless to say, I was not impressed.

    And the icing on the cake is, my transaction didn't track through Quidco! So I've had to submit a enquiry and I haven't heard anything from them about it since.

    I now cannot wait for the probable fun and games to start when it comes to claiming cashback!

    My order came today :). Just wanted to check if anyone got headphone or a memory card with their phone? I didn't and just wanted to see if I should have done. Thanks!

    Same here (and my partner) regarding no headphones or memory card.

    Can't say I'm bothered as I have an ipod for music, and memory cards are dirt cheap (2gb mini-SD's are only about £40 with 128mb going for about £6), so the 64mb one usually supplied is worth peanuts.
