3 months free

It is £40/month so £480, minus £120 = £360.

    Wow, surprised there isn't any interest in this deal!

    Maybe due to stock but i think everyone is suffering stock issues

    I've had three contracts with DAP and all went pretty smooth, but doing the maths on this deal brings the phone to £325 ( after redemption and quidco ) with 300 mins, 3000 texts & 500mb internet.

    To buy on PAYG its around £399 plus your sim for the year ( 12@ £15 for a similarsim only tariff ) brings that too £579

    Its unusual to find a 12 month deal cheaper then either an 18 or 24 month deal.

    So whats going to come back and bite people on the backside. Unless someone knows of a better 12 month deal ?

    Worst case, if you didn't get your cashback would still only work out as £445!

    I think I spent around 3 years with DAP from around early 2001 until 2004. They paid all the cashback claims within 30 days and confirmed sight of my bill by text on each occasion.
