Nokia 1101 for 51p profit if you're a Virgin customer

tommytuck

Virgin Mobile are currently offering the Nokia 1101 for £7.49 reconditioned if you register on the site and are already a customer.

It's £17.49 if you're not an existing customer.

Quidco are currently offering £8 cashback giving you a profit of 51p!!

The phone can easily be unlocked and then used with any sim card.

Delivery is next day and you also get a sim card which has free text to other Virgin mobiles until the 30th September.

What a fully reconditioned phone is... If you fancy a flash phone without forking out a load of cash, fully reconditioned phones are the way to go! They're about half the price of a brand new phone and each one comes with a full 6 months warranty. Our fully reconditioned phones are normally no more than a month old. Each one has been fully reconditioned by our experts - so they're as good as new! If you're an existing customer, you can buy one online in Your Account and get an extra £10 off. Prices are shown as £10 cheaper because they come without a joining pack and without £5 airtime.

Thanks very much, saw these a few days ago but they were out of stock, can't go wrong @ that price even though its very basic:T

bought this 5 or 6 weeks ago when it was £25 credit and an overall £22 cost.
even without quidco, it was a bigger profit
but I couldn't get it unlocked, all the codes from the free nokia.unlock program failed.
still, nice little backup phone, and can always use as a second battery for my regular nokia phone.

edit: didn't see an £8 through quidco though, wasn't it something like 8% ?

You will need to log in, it will then reduce the price by £10 because they will not send you a sim (as you will obviously have one!)

I was just thinking the same.

EDIT. It seems if you have purchased over £100 in airtime you get £10 off a new phone. Not me then!

EDIT II or select SIM free

Would it not be better buying the new one and getting the £15 airtime? (or £10 if SIM free)

It is £8 off for each sale using Quidco.

I got mine unlocked using the mobile phone forum on this site. All you need to do is post the IMEI number and the company it's locked with and some kind Money Saving Experts will post the unlock code.

1. You do not to purchase £100 in airtime to get £10 off. Just log in under my account. You then have the option to purchase any phone without a sim for a £10 reduction.
2. Yes you can buy a new 1101 with £10 credit for £14.99 which may be a better deal if you want the airtime.
3. I have so far received seperate Quidco cashback on 2 phones. You just need to make sure you clear the cookies before using the link.
