BRILLIANT UPGRADE ON 3 - £5.55 for 12 months

I phoned 3 yesterday to terminate my contract. They offered me a deal with 100 minutes x-net anytime and 100 texts for £5.55 for the whole year. This is direct from them - no cashback involved. They said the plan normally costs £20 per month but they give you a credit of £234.45 and deduct your line rental from there and in the 12th month they charge you for the line rental, provided you don't go over the the allowance.

    Just make sure they apply the £235 as a credit and not a debit like they did with my friend's mobile. She has just had to make 3 phone calls to get the error sorted out.

    WOW! Are these offers open to new customers at all?

    I've got a contract phone with T-Mobile and I'm looking to move (well out of contract).

    Actually, what am I talking about?! Sorry, I've got broadband AND mobile phones on the brain at the moment. I'm thinking of getting a 100% cashback deal on the mobile plus Quidco cash, so £5.55/month is expensive! (best broadband looks like AOL at £7.08 - going to give it a try tomorrow...!)

    Thanks anyway Rash!

    Try carphone warehouse deal, Nokia 6630 (not the best phone!) for 2.99 per month which costs £36, plus £37 quidco and then sell the phone on ebay for about £40 (hard cash excluding fees/postage).

    Also CPW is the most trusted cashback, and they also give you 2 months to to send your bill in.

    For peice of mind CPW rules!!! But not that good a deal.

    The OP said £5.55 for the WHOLE YEAR not per month.

    That works out at 46pence per month.....!
    Not bad at all if you ask me, especially since no hassle of cashback
