    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!!
    And then get rid of the phone at Envirophone for £4.93 making it a total profit of £5.46

    For the 1101 with £10 credit for £14.99...

    Is the credit:

    1) in the form of a voucher that can be used with any Virgin Sim?
    2) applied to the existing Virgin account?
    3) applied to the new sim card the phone comes with?

    Adding the phone to the basket seems to indicate that it's a separate voucher (1), can anyone confirm?

    Cheers!

    I bought one 12 months ago. It was a separate voucher then. The order shows this -

    1 Nokia 1100 Handset
    1 20 Pound Voucher (single unit) £0.00
    1 New SIM Joining Pack. £9.00
    1 Delivery charge £0.00

    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.

    I PMd you regarding the "ust log in under my account" - was this an offer.
    I am interested in the phone as a backup (current backup is ageing 5110) but obviously 7 quid (plus 8 quid from quidco) is much more appealing than £17 - how wouldthis work - would the phone not go to your address ?

    You have to already have a phone with Virgin to be able to get the £10 off. You then need to have the account registered online and log on to my account in order to get the £10 off. The phone would be delivered to your registered address normally the next day by Lynx

    Sorry - I misunderstood your intent. Oh well, never mind. Thanks anyway!

    The reconditioned 1101 is now out of stock (Although they seem to restock quickly if you keep looking).

    They still have the Siemens AX72 reconditioned at £9.99 ( A better colour phone but its difficult to unlock) or a new 1101 with £10 credit for £14.99.

    Minus £8 Quidco from both the above.

    I'm new to Quidco, how long does it take to show as tracked with Quidco?
