    My LG Cookie came today as well and again there was no voucher so I phoned them on 08009562208 said they will post M&S voucher and should receive it in next day or two. I asked them about the credit as phone is a christmas present for my son and she said the credit is valid for 6 months. HTH

    Ordered one for my sis and the voucher for m&s looks like a card with a pink bow on it. It says " for your get together with love from T-Mobile" Tear it open and the code to get voucher is inside. Have another look in your parcels/ HTH

    So my phone has arrived...no emails from t-mobile so nothing about the M&S vouchers and nothing in the phone package.
    Is it just me?

    Perhaps they'll follow in the post?
    Mine tracked at £5 as well...but think it gets upgraded later
    Call them up. I did and they sent the voucher code out straight away.

  • Can anyone offer me some advice as to which of the cheapest phones for the offer, would be easy to unlock/use with a sim from another provider instead of T-Mobile?

    Got my gift card, registered it, and had e-mail saying validated, and it'll be sent shortly.

    As for phone, the LG Cookie went straight to CEX and as I am buying Wii stuff for Xmas, I took the exchange value of £48 instead of the cash value of £39 (£42 is only for unlocked models)

    Net profit of £34.
    I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, you can't prove a thing! ;)

    The card is pre-loaded, although the leaflet says it might take 48 hours for it to show up, so worth breaking out the SIM and trying it by texting BA to 150 (before you sell it).

    Hi
    Can you safely take phone along to Cex before your M & S voucher arrives ? Is it just the phone number I would need from the sim.
    Thanks everyone:beer:
    Cherish those you have in your life because you never know when they won't be there anymore.

    No matter how you feel, get up, dress up & never give up.

    LOL, hope so as it's gone!!

    Yes, you pick the phone number off the sim pack and enter it on the site - there is no mention of the IMEI, nor is it in the T&C's that you must keep the phone, just that you bought one over £40.
