    oops i deleted this over zealously

    2 phones cost 89.90

    Tesco give you £120 in return + £16 in clubcard vouchers + £1 in vouchers for using Clubcard Credit Card

    You can then sell:
    2x Talkmobile SIMS with £10 credit
    2x Stereo Headsets
    2x Chargers
    and if you get decent boxes, 2 of them .

    Or sell the box and items (minus phone) on ebay as someone selling a phone only may want them to improve their sale.

    You should be able to get £145-£150 altogether
    Thats approx £55-60 profile - minus £6 for postage (only next day delivery will ensure your package is insured)
    So that finally leaves about £50 profile for a mornings work! FAB

    Personally - and I just realised, I have a Samsung so will keep a spare charger and headphones for myself.
    :)

    Still i think most are sold out now - just a couple of pink ones at last count

    I've just received my phone.

    It came with a loose sim card. I have inserted the sim, but there's no credit on it.

    How do I get the free £10 credit?

  • Recieved 3phones today one that was £100 for my daughters 18th, all in plain flimsy white boxes not in proper boxes, they look well dodgy, will try them all out and let u know, im not sure but u might need to register sim or something to get ur £10

    HEY!

    My card temporarily blocked too!
    I think Mastercard panics when they see duplicate items and assume it is fraud!
    Typical

    How it happened

    EMAIL: order confirmed
    SMS : Please call for further details
    phone e2save: Temporary block on card. have you another card.
    YES thanks but i would like to use this card
    OK if you unblock it I will put the order through.
    OK - will phone now - do i need to call you back?
    No - I will try your order in 10 mins and call you back
    Great - Top Banana
    phone Mastercard: The card not blcoked, but referred (the difference)
    OK - can you unblock it...
    YEs
    Now waiting confirmation of order - yipeee

    (the yippee is a hopeful one considering a few hoops to jump though yet - and I assume the Tesco giftcard will take a few weeks before delivery! Hopeful still.

    Note - will be keeping everything I do not send to tesco until tesco voucher is with me.



    I think the SIM card has credited 3 days after activation or something - someone who has got one already, can you confirm this and see if the phone is locked?

    I just did a search and found the phone on e2save but I cannot find the phone going via quidco this is the link I found http://www.moby1.co.uk/phones/Samsung/B3310.html
    Scroll right to the end and there is the phone for for £34.95.
    I have not tried it but if anyone knows how to get it via quidco still you may be in luck.
    Good luck
    What you do is go straight to E2Save through Quidco, but you still need to put £10 top up on them

    Well I have just tried a virgin Mobile simcard, and it works, so I guess it's unlocked!
