    Be wary...we got a phone and fully understood the points situation. Within about 10 days of taking out the contract, you get 1000 points and the remainder of the points 7 months after you took your contract out. This is the key to remember though...at 7 months, it is up to YOU to contact them to obtain your points, they are NOT added automatically. Also, you have 28 days to claim the points, so say after 8 months of the contract being taken out and you have forgotten to claim the points, you've lost out. On a brighter note though, we got our phone and remembered to claim our points after 7 months and we got them a week after us contacting them.

    Quite right, grahamfromoldham. You must follow the terms EXACTLY. As I said, if you don't feel that you can do that (within the prescribed times) then this isn't for you.

    My wife can spend £370 at Boots easily! Christmas coming up.

    Our £360 worth of points got turned into Sony 20gb mp3 players which were then sold on ebay..we 'lost' about £30, but I can live with that!

    at the end of the contract is the phone yours to keep or do you have to give it back - Sorry I am a newbie to mobile phone contracts
