    Yes been talked about several times on the MSE forums. I combined the Orange BBand offer with a a money back offer that was available from BuyMobilePhones.net in Sept 06 (link was on this site .The phone was a PEBL for Mrs Sobraon with 14 month cash back on an 18month contract.

    A lot of people were worried that the free broadband was only available if you got your phone directly from Orange - and their customer service said the same thing. However the offer from BuyMobilePhones.net explicitly stated the supply of free BB.


    The BB and supplied wireless router works great for me. I use NetMeter to track usage and normal Web/Email and audio mp3 download shows that I have used an average of 1.6 GB per month so the 2GB limit is not a problem. So mobile, and Orange Canary plus BBand for 18 months at £6.60/month.:T

    [FONT=&quot]One word of caution BuyMobilePhones.net T/Cs for cashback are particularly stringent![/FONT]

    Are you not forgeting.....plus your BT line rental.


    If you have NTL broadband and a good mobile contract you can ditch the landline and save a lot more, use the mobile to the full and take advantage of skype, BT should be dead in the water these days but people don't realise the alternatives.
