    P', yes thanks.

    T', thats the way I read it but forgive me if I'm wrong but I think to cost £3 pm, you need to sell the phone for £60 on ebay or similar. Pennymakespounds will correct me if I'm wrong.

    You only have to pay a monthly bill if you make any chargeable calls over the inclusive minutes.

    The deal is buy the phone (£99), then pay up front one years line rent, and get this refunded by cashback.

    There is no £3 a month to pay.

    (Pennymakespounds suggested selling the phone for £70, thereby making the net cost for the SIM + line rent around £3/month).

    smartass... yes that's absolutely spot on.
    you pay £99 for phone
    you also pay about £330 for the years rental ...you then get that back after a couple of months ...

    if you don't need the handset...sell it.... i did for £60 ..

    Penny, do you not find it a pain to now have another new mobile number when all of your friends have gotten used to your Orange number from the OSPS deal?.

    Received my cheque for £60 from OSPS about 3 days. Had to wait a week or so. Pretty good.
