Hi all
Ok so Ive just come across this deal through quidco and was wondering if anyone can tell me the catch??
Surely they cant offer those freebies along with the phone for nothing?

Some debts are fun when you are acquiring them, but none are fun when you set about retiring them!!!

Well, Ive looked but cant see which of the offers you mean, perhaps you could tell us. You dont mean the free SIM card (not free phone)?0 -

The contract you're looking at is £840 over it's course. Considering many contracts these days work out to be £400-£600 incl. the latest phone, they are creaming at least £240 extra off you. This pays for the gift. In theory, it isn't free at all.
If you take the £280 cashback option, it works out at about £23.50 a month. Virgin offer this phone with 400 mins, 3000 texts for £25 a month without the free gifts. Isn't such a good deal as meets the eye.
The 15 months free is the best 'gift', but I'm sure that is through Redemption (means you have to post your bill off on a certain day each month to get the money back. Most companies make this extremely hard to do).The quickest way to become a millionaire is start off as a billionaire and go into the airline business.
