    Hey, once she starts she'll be txtin like mad :D



    Just noticed you quidco query,
    presuming you went through the links correctly then you stand a very good chance of getting your cashback, I've had 3 lots of £80 paid through (even though I also used the refer a friend setup and referred myself ;) ). Have you checked your Quidco account that its showing as tracked?




    Sure she'll love it, ordered one myself this evening (although its through Dial a Phone) and lookin forward to havin a play around with it. :j

    Thanks Raven, sure she will!!! ;)

    Re cashback - I went through Topcashback. Even though it should have shown as £80 cashback, it's only tracked as £56 !! :mad: Seems a rather random amount. Will see if it confirms and then challenge it, if it stays at £56 rather than £80. Still, will be a nice contribution towards the monthly charges.

    Thought about getting one for myself, although don't want too many credit searches showing up all at once on my credit report.
    Big thanks to Martin Lewis for helping us start to sort out our finances!!!:A

    Sorry, I've just checked online - it says the deal includes a free PAYG SIM "for a friend", so that's why it's included! :o

    Sorry, one follow-up question - the website says the deal covers:

    300 minutes (anytime, any network)
    5000 texts
    500MB internet
    5000 Three-to-Three minutes

    Is that during the lifetime of the contract or per month? The texts works out at 200 per month, so that's reasonable, but 300 minutes call time is only 5 hours, which doesn't sound a lot over two years?? Thanks. :A

    Never heard of them quoting over contract time- it will be per month. You can phone up/text to check allowances.

    Ah, never used TCB, so cant help you with that one but I do have a business associate/friend who was forced into bankrupcy last year (forced to close/lose his mobiles) but successfully got a 3 contract mobile even though he was unable to get one with Orange who had been his previous supplier. :)

    Just took a look at Quidco rates for the Three "Internet Texter 300" (your package) and that would earn £56 if you had used Quidco so maybe they have mixed it up somehow but as they say maybe £56 in the hand is worth more that £80 in the bush. :D




    Sorry to go on, (not as quick at this typing lark as the youngsters) just checked out TCB and they are also offering £56 for the internet texter 300 package. (The £80 payout is for the 900 package with 900 minutes)


    So if its tracked as £56 already then its looking good. :)
