    Hi Jaxxy

    I too have 2 contracts that are due to expire 20th August and dont want to change my phone nos and I am happy with 3s coverage etc. Have you extended your contract for 6 months or a year? I am just a little confused by your post. I pay £30 monthly for each contract and have received cashback from e2save with no problems. How much will you end up paying over the year/6 months for the new deal? If you pay £30 monthly = £720 less £176 = £22.50 per phone per month? Still quite costly if you dont want to sell the new phones.

    The offers are as good as they say if you send in your cashback forms on the correct day, photocopy them, and send by recorded mail. If not, your cashback is void. Its a scam which catches out many people. I was scammed by The Link, they had a cashback scam that was designed to catch all but the most pedantic person out, and lets face it, who has time or the inclanation to be so exact.

    But if you've got a diary and are prepared to be exact, the deals are good.

    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


    3 network offered me Nokai N70 for 12ths. 6mths 1/2 price and 6mths at £30 this is on talk and text 600.

    However, from the reesitt mutton website there is the orange panther deal with Nokia 6111 which is 12mths free with 400 x-mins/mth from coolnew mobile.


    is coolnewmobile a reputable company? any experiences out there? anyone know if e2save will match offer?

    I haggled hard today with 3 rep (BTW find 3 customer service v good and quick to answer calls).

    I managed to get this deal after some hard bargaining:

    Nokia 6280, 12mth 1/2 price line rental at £15/mth, 12 contract. Package Talk and text 600 (500 mins xnetwork and 100 text). is this a good deal to stay with 3?

    Other option was to pay £13/mth line rental for 18mth contract. Also managed to get a free PAYG SIM card for my old mobile.

    Any thoughts welcome if this is a good deal to stay and keep my number with 3?
