e2save - who are they and what are the chance of going bust?

Since my last deal went very sour, I'm kinda worried the same thing will happen again.

I've just run out of credit on my PAYG with o2 and want to port my number onto a contract. I'd love to be on the retention contract but don't see that happening for a while!

So a cheap e2save deal would be nice, but I don't want them going bust on me!

    They are part of the Carphone Warehouse group so probably as safe as anyone else in the industry

    Chances of happening are slim to none and slim just left the building... one of the biggest players in online mobile retailers and a part of the Car Phone Warehouse.

    slightly more reassuring, now I just have to find myself a deal with plenty of texts, no minutes as such and virtually free!

    Would a PAYG deal not be better? O2 gives 300 texts a month for £10 top-up.

    Only go with E2save if you are prepared to accept a) a gift rather than cashback or b) send all your cashback vouchers via special delivery .... and never recorded delivery.

    or if you are not too overly concerned about making a major saving, just get the phone direct from the network provider's site and get a smaller but instantaneous no bull!!!! saving.

    I'm not entirely sure how I want to proceed - I'm currently on o2PAYG and 300 texts isn't enough for £10 a month (400 using the credit too...) plus I have a '3' 500mins/100texts which I don't really use minute wise but go massively over the texts.

    I'm going to try and bargain with three tonight and see if I can't get them to sort me out with a decent upgrade 'retention' deal.
