are you sure about this? As if it is true, then I will be getting one.

Hi

It is definately a voucher - I have used of the two I have received. However, I cannot confirm whether it can be used on any easymobile sim card as I haven't done it BUT that is what I was told (and have read on MSE somewhere too).

As it is simply a case of typing in the voucher details online, I don't see why not?

Did you not get £15 from Quidco? Perhaps you'll get an additional £7 added for each purchase at some point.

Hi

Apologies - let me be precise - I actually I got 2 x £8 - one for each sim card that I ordered a week or so ago (when it was £3 for a sim with £30 credit)

More recently, on a separate purchase, I ordered two phones (with sims), but not received anything as yet BUT IT IS READING "TRACKED" AND IS WORTH £15 PER PHONE?

Ok, i'm going to buy the nokia 1101 from easymobile, which costs a total of £30 (£30 for the voucher and zero for the phone). I will get £8 cashback from quidco. So that's £22. If I add the voucher on to the sim I bought at £2 from easymobile (which is worth £32 airtime as I referred a guy from a forum and got an extra £5 on top of the £27), then I will get the phone plus £62 airtime for £24.

I also got £8 quidco cashback for the sim, so that is a total of £16 for a Nokia 1101 with £62 worth of airtime. Not bad!!!

isn't the student virgin mobile offer better than the normal website one, now the recon phone is out of stock?

normal site: £14.99-£10 credit-£8 quidco = £3 in profit
student site: £22.49-£25 credit-£8 quidco = £10.51 in profit

in both cases you get a spare sim card too...

Any way to knock off £10 for existing customers under the student pricing? I have tried but unable to remove the sim package.

I just rang vigin, and they said that you could only get the student deal with the sim package

You can still get a new 1101 complete with sim card and £25 of calls for £22.49 from Virgin using the (by now, I trust infamous) http://www.virginmobile.com/lifestylerewards link (and clicking on the "Check out our phone range" link). I couldn't tell you what you'll get if you use Quidco as well; but I cracked my phone easily enough and flogged the sim and credit on Ebay (Sorry, Mr. Branson) thus giving me a nice new phone for a couple of quids.

Apologies if this has been explained before but what is this 'lifestylerewards'? I feel like I've arrived late at the party!

PS Just read the T+Cs and it says the offer is available until 30th September 2005. Anyone know if it's still available?

Last month I bought mine for £25
It came with £15 airtime plus if I used the sim within the month I'd get £10 added this month
With £25 airtime which I'd need to buy anyway you can say I got the phone for free
What I like about these nokias is that theyre very e4asy to unlock should I decide to change providers

Can anyone else get this to work ? The button is there to buy at £22.49, but what it puts in the basket is the package at £24.99 including a SIM card and only a £10 voucher, not the £20 voucher. Am I doing something wrong or has this expired ?
