    I'm lost, there is a small metal clip with instructions and diagram to show to insert the sim card there - says insert sim when I do. There is no where else to hold the sim card in place under the battery.

    New question, do I need to register the phone to get the £10 credit. If so which of the numbers do I phone to register?

    Thanks

    My quidco tracked virtually straight away, but I haven't had a confirmatory email, so haven't got the order no to check my order status on their site. Haven't heard anything from the credit card people - do I just assume it's on its way?
    Hope is not a strategy.

    Posts on another thread said they didn't do anything and £10 was credited within 2 & 4 days

    See posts #39 & #49 (hope the link works!)

    Ordered my phone yesterday at 9.30am, it arrived at 7.30 this morning, TCB tracked today. Just waiting for credit to be added and, hopefully, receive cashback :)
  • Looks like you can also go through topcashback to tmobile and get nokia 1616 for 7.99 with £10 cashback but no credit. Can someone check that I haven't missed anything here or made any stupid mistake please.

    Noob alert :rotfl:

    I received my phone this afternoon, the TCB tracked within an hour of buying it.

    I also got the call from my cc provider about the transaction, but it didn't affect the tracking.

    However, when I dial 453 for the balance, it's saying the balance is 1p instead of £10!

    My balance is 1p too, others have said to give it a couple of days for the credit to go on.
  • hmm the halifax never called at all for me about it
