Free Contract inc. Data

Hi,

I have just moved to the UK from the US.
I am looking to get a contract to go with my Blackberry Tour and wanted to know what the best deal would be that gave me some free data.

I am happy to do claim form cashback, but it might need to be on Vodafone as I think my phone is locked.

Can anyone help?

Thanks

    How long have you lived in the UK for? You're unlikely to get a contract if you don't have a credit history here.

    If your Blackberry Tour was locked in the US it will be locked in the UK. Vodafone in the US are not the same in the UK, if it was locked to anyone in the US it will need to be locked to be used in the UK regardless of the network.

    Cashbacks can be problematical, it's made hard to claim, companies go bust, and you may get nothing at all. You may want to consider how importat the cashback is in the scheme of things. PLan you finances like you will get no cashback, don't rely on it being paid to make the books balance.

    If you really want cashback try Dialaphone, mobiles.co.uk but it may be better to go on a monthy contract and forget the cashback in case it never happens.
