Orange BB Free with an 18 month contract

24

Comments

  • Have gone ahead and bought a cashback phone on an 18 month contract from carphone wharehouse. Phoned orange and have had my broadband changed to free (was already with them) with no problem. Already saving money.

    Quidco are tracking my £37.00.

    Welcome pack is clear and gives 60 days to sort out cashback. If all goes to plan I will be paying £8.60 for 325 minutes calls plus several hundred texts, plus new phone, plus free broadband.

    Thought it was too good to be true but is so far panning out well. Will save £530 over the next 18 months (or best part of £30 a month) on what I was paying.

    Surely this route would help many on MSE to save a bundle, if not what on earth are you doing to get a similar package cheaper?

    Hope this helps someone trouser £500+.

    Hi,

    I have also been looking at these offers via the CPW. I am currently with Orange mobile and orange broadband but pay for them seperate , I thought I would be able to PAC my number across to a T-Mobile PAYG and then back to Orange again on a new Cashback contract. However when I spoke to CPW they said the mobile companies had got wise to this and that you had to wait 3 months before you could port a number back onto there network. Has anyone else come across this and is there any other ways around it?

    Cheers!

    Phone value: £40+ on ebay

    16months free + above £60 = 18months free rental with 18months free Orange (capped) broadband, extra fiver a month makes it FUP'd max unlimited broadband
  • That looks pretty outrageous! How easy/reliable is the cashback?
  • I have a contract with BuyMobilePhones.net and done a cashback without problems, but then I have several cashback contracts and I make sure I never forget them & keep all my bills paperwork filed.

    orange broadband customer services don't really know what orange retail are doing. It's only supposed to be free if you sign up to an 18 month contract direct through them but i'm an independant and have been giving it away since it started, i have it - free at home and i most definatley didn't get my mobile from them
    :p It is better to be thought of as an idiot than to open your mouth and remove all doubt
