    Yeah, but you don't get a simcard (with £5 credit) or the £10 topup voucher which you would as a new customer.

    There are quite a few threads floating about with regard to the Nokia 1100/1101. I certainly wouldn't regard this as a "grabbit" as the basic premise has been around for quite a while - ie you buy a cheap Virgin mobile (either with or without the simpack, depending on whether you're an existing customer) and by the time you take into account the cashback and the free credit (or existing customer discount) then you effectively end up with a free phone (or possibly even gain on the deal) - all the better if you can buy a refurb at a reduced price. ;)
  • here's a question ... what's to stop me buying one of these and then recycling it immediately - 300 tesco clubcard points for a working phone ... hmmm ... going to think about that today ....

    Well I ordered one and received it on tuesday and it had a new sim card (No credit on it though) and a £10 credit voucher . Unless they have of course changed the offer since monday in which case you may be correct!
