    Post number 96 has a link to the Black phone at the cheaper price. Originally posted by simon_says, I ordered one today - could not use Quidco but it's still a good deal, confirmed with Tesco £60 plus 200 points to recycle. Got a phone call to say they are out of stock but back in this weekend and I should have it by Tuesday. Also it's Talktalk.

    You can't find the phone unless you use the link put in by simon_says so please thank simon_says if you do it!

    am so confused and feel really thick but here goes

    have received this pink phone with a vodafone sim card in said package

    I already own a vodafone pay as you go mobile and we also have an orange contract phone - I intend to send this pink phone to tesco - can I send it without a sim card - I know they dont want the charger but the phone must be charged - is it ok to send without sim card - and then can I pop the new vodafone sim card in my existing pay as you go phone and use the £10 up that way or is there another way - any help appreciated but be gentle

    Tesco don't want the sim, so you're ok to use it elsewhere :)

    Yes :D
    Keep the charger as well, Tesco do NOT want that, they only require the Mobile with a charged up battery fitted. Nothing else, no box, no sim card and no charger.

    Yey - Tesco padded envelope arrived today!

    Added extra padding to it and some cardboard to ensure it arrives safely. Reckon a Warrior APC could back over it and it would be fine!

    Probably pay for special delivery for the insurance - a loss in profit but probably worth it for safety,
    Now a trip to the post office! I will update the site when i get the points.

    Note the letter that came with the envelope has a sticker confirming £120 and 400 points - the reference code (and bar code) associated with this can be found on the front of the envelope. The address is:
    7 Hithercroft Court
    Lupton Road
    Wallingford
    Oxon
    OX10 9BT

    I suspect you can not send the phones without the code - if anyones envelopes do not arrive you may be able to phone Tesco and get the code to send it with though.

    Good luck everyone

    Is there a limit to the number of phones which can be recycled?
    There is no limit to the number of phones which can be recycled via the website for Rewards, however for each phone, it is important that you are the rightful owner, or have the owners permission to recycling the phone. All phones received are passed through the Checkmend database of stolen phones. If your phone is not listed on the website and you use the Freepost recycling envelope in stores (or by requesting envelopes via this site) there is a limit of 5 phones per Clubcard holder per calendar year.
    top

    This suggests that you can recycle 5 phones which are not listed on the site - and as this is ordered by the site the suggestion is that 5 more can be sent!

    IS THIS RIGHT? ANYONE DONE THIS?
