My current talk and text 600 with Three is coming to end in mid august.

I need a new contract with someone offering at least 400mins/mth and 50 texts/mth, with a decent camera, bluetooth phone.

Anyone have suggestions on offers? (prefer to keep same no. is poss and happy with Three network so dont mind staying)

    Try coolnewmobiles, they have some of the best deals around for 12 months free line rental (all by redemption). Order via Quidco and get £30-£35 cashback. I've been using them for the past year and had no problems. Customer service is very good.

    they offered me the same deal/ As i have just been on a free 12mth contract..i was after something similar.

    Saw great deal thanks to the Reesit mutton website. Orange panther 400 xnet mins 12ths with Nokia 6111. Any views on this deal welcome before i sign up.

    atplug, sorry dont understand, they offered you a new phone and free contract for 12 months, so actual cost zero, unless of course you use more minutes?
    What phone was it.?
    Reestit mutton, will be hard to beat, but 5 lots of cashback, i always miss one or two

    My two contracts with 3 were due to end 20th July. I took these out last year with the Nokia 7600 handsets from Carphone Warehouse (for the kids) on a full cashback deal at £30 per month with 500 minutes and 100 texts.

    I phoned and cancelled but then called them back a week or so later to see what handset they would offer etc so i could carry on the contract so the kids could keep the number and minutes and texts. Anyway, they offered to credit £176 to my account and a K800i (could have had a N80 too) and the remaining 6 months at £30 and 500 minutes and 100 texts still.

    I decided to take the offer up and to get 2 K800i's which i have put on ebay (one of which has sold for £235, the other finishes tomorrow). That way i can pay up the last 6 months of the contract, the kids are happy to keep the numbers, extra minutes and texts and i make a bit extra on top for the headache it all causes!!!

    Coolnewmobile, buymobilephoesdirect.net , phoneboxdirect, mobileoutlet , phones2Udirect, mobileshop.com.
    I wish to buy 2 mobiles this month.
    I am bit worried as their offer is too good to be true.No high street deal can match their deal which is "FREE MOBILE X660 SAMSUNG OR NOKIA 6111 OR NOKIA
    6230i or Sony erickson K510i with 400 cross net work +100 text message"Both mobile & tariff for 12 months is absolutely free after cash back in 3 0r 4 instalments.Is there a catch.Any forum user had experience with these dealers regarding cash back .Thanks

    Forgive me for being stupid but on these free for 12 months contacts, when it says for example 400 free crossnet work minutes. Does that include landlines etc and are these phones really that cheap any hidden costs etc.
    I just ask as you can pretty much get free phone lots of talk time and free contract for one yera, what to the networks get out of this???
