Quidco O2 offers- 24 hours only - any use for i-phhone?

debsjc

There are special offers with O2 throught Quidco for 24 hours only

http://www.quidco.com/o2/

However I don't think any of them are of any use for someone wanting a I-phone 18-24 month contract. Would appreciate if anyone else could confirm this..thanks

No discounts on iphones.

£200 for 12 month sim only contracts (£25 a month) - well if you had an iphone already in first place, you might want that if the sim only plan includes internet.

Interesting still - looks like some Easter offerings coming around the corner.

Correction - if you look here http://www.quidco.com/savvy-tips/

It says

"O2 24hr special £200 cashback for ALL 12 month Simplicity SIM only £25+ tariffs! 1200 mins/unlimited texts from £8.33 after cashback! (saving you 67%!). Includes iPhone tariffs! Ends midnight tonight. Quidco exclusive."

Thanks -sorry to sound dim, but it's still SIM only isn't it? I need a contract with the i-phone included, and I don't think any of the Quidco offers cover that?

No they don't - you need to have iphone purchased or from a previous contract. I suspect the sim only deal will appeal to people in that position. Lots of mins and texts for a whole year paying £100 for 12 months I work that out to with £200 quidco.

hi,

I'm contemplating getting one of the new htc desires due out at the the beginning of April. I can't get one on T-Mobile as they don't offer 3G reception where I live, so my only options are with o2:

Buy the phone sim free at ~£387 and put it on a SIM only contract from o2 with the:

£120 cashback for ALL 12 month SIM Only £20 tariffs (including iPhone) From £10 after Quidco cashback for 900 mins / unlimited texts!

Does this mean I'd get actual cash back or one hundred and twenty pounds worth of talk time/texts?

I'm new to all this cashback business so please excuse me.

If I were reading that it would be

12 month tariff paying £20 a month giving you 900 minutes /unlimited texts.
Total spend over 12 months = £240
Minus £120 quidco
Overall then its £120 for 12 months, £10 a month

You have to make sure you pick the right tariff when signing up.

You're even better off getting a £25/month SIM only contract with £200 cashback though.

Total spend over 12 months = £300
Minus £200 cashback
So, overall thats £100 for the year or £8.33/month with even more minutes

birdstill

got one for myself(12 month SIM-free 1200 minute).

will report when it is tracked(12 hours passed, still not tracked!)

angel81

Mines not tracked yet either

However, it says in the small print
"The 12 month SIM Only offer will track into your account at £25 and be uplifted to the correct amount upon validation. All pay monthly contracts (phone, broadband (1 month/18 months), SIM Only (12 month/1 month) will be validated 2 months after activation date."

I am really considering getting an iphone on O2 (already broadband customer)

Correct if I am wrong (new customer):

3G refurb = free
18 x £30 = £540
100min + unltd txt + unltd data
Total = £540

3Gs 16gb new = £179
18 x £30 = £540
100min + unltd txt + unltd data
Total = £719

3Gs 16gb new on PAYG = £449
simplicity 12 iphone 12x 20 = £240
600min + unltd txt + unltd data
Total = £689

via quidco
3Gs 16gb new on PAYG = £449 (no cashback)
simplicity 12 iphone 12x 20 = £240 (£100 cashback)
600min + unltd txt + unltd data
Total = £589

It is a non-brainer go the PAYG route or have I missed something?

I believe if I go the route of buying a PAYG + simplicity, I should contact O2 and ask them to port my Virgin number to O2 simplicty. Is this right? I would also need to change the PAYG SIM to the simplicity SIM after porting the number (saw on youtube and it does not seem difficult to change using a thumbtack or paperclip)

Comments are appreciated.
