    As I explained in an earlier thread, one of my own priorities was to have a straightforward contract without having to worry about getting MY bills back to the supplier before I was paid any cashback. Of course these phone companies hope that you are a day or two late so that they can say no to paying you the assured cashback.
    I am also happy that I have a 12 month contract when these greedy companies want you for 18 months (what happens if your phone goes wrong they won't fix it after 30 days, you have to send it back to the manufacturer A PANTS IDEA IMO)
    I will make £35 from Quidco and sell my current N 6230i to get me some more cash
    So when you way it all up I am actually paying £22 per month for 12 mths plus whatever I make on my old phone and have got a top of the range phone Bargain :j :j :j IMHO

    I went for the Three offer today. if the handset goes wrong after few months then I may buy one of (mazdamanspot)'s mobiles from eBay. Lol.
    For £15/month with no cashback claims I think it is unbeatable.:j
    Do I want it? ......Do I need it? ......What would happen if I don't buy it??????

    I bought one of the reconditioned Nokia phones from three on an 18mth half price contract for my missus. We live in Leicester and she travels throughout the county for work and has no problems with coverage. It is a very good deal. You get all of the minutes and texts plus £5 worth of downloads per month, plus 50 MMS message. In all honesty I dont think you can beat it, the phone comes with a 12 month guarantee too.
