Get a massive bargain on Sony Ericsson K800i

I have just got what I consider the best mobile phone deal ever. I went on to O2's site and chose the K800i (free) on the Online 50 tariff (£19) for a 12 month contract. That works out at just £228 for a phone which retails at £299, and you get 50 mins a month and 200 texts too. No other company comes near this as far as I can see.
Best deal or not.

    lol, that sounds like a rubbish deal to me

    50 minutes? that is crap! im sure you can get just as much minutes and texts on pay as you go!!

    02 or voda

    if your planning to do insurance on your phone to re-coup so of the line rental outlay, then fair play, might be worth it then

    but to be honest it doenst look good at all

    I disagree, I think it's a good deal for that phone and no hassle from cashback.
  • I think there are much better deals available if you ready to go through cashbacks
  • If you can put up with the hassles of a cashback deal then you can get the handset and line rental for as little as £149.99 for the year.

    Mobileclub7 have 3 offers on Orange ranging from £149.99-159.99 for the handset with 12 months free rental by redemption.

    Choose from Panther, Canary, or Dolphin tariffs

    Granted if you want to go via cashback you can get 200 mins + 100 texts for the same sort of price.
  • After carefully studying this board i have phoned O2 three times and eventually got the deal i wanted. i was on 200 xnet minutes and 50 texts for £30 a month for the past 4 years and only decided to take your advice and ring o2 retentions - i was leaving had checked out all the deals on the web and was armed with abetter deal with the cpw which incuded a free K800i for 272.99 after mailing discount for 9 months and delivery of free phone btu no use of quidco as i had to do it over the phone for 400xnet minutes went to O2 finally got 400xnet minutes and 200 texts plus 20% over and above any calls outside my minutes plus a SEK800i 16.50 / month!!! only down side had to pay £80 for the phone works out at £279.99 plus i keep my number and got to change at month 10 instead of 12. Probably someone will get a far better deal but you must persevere. retentions number is 08000288151
    Great site.

    But is this offer open to the public Tedrick?
  • I got it from The Link, after a bit of bartering, admittingly i know a couple of the staff, but they wouldn't so that sort of deal if it was allowable and wouldn't flag up at the head office.
