3 Flip Phone with £10 Credit & £5 quidco @ £19.99 All In

13»

  • bought the zte in superdrug and it was 19.99 then bought another online as i was impressed through quidco so i will get 5 quid back how long this takes i dont know as first time ive done it. very impressed with delivery of phone took two days over weekend and customer service so far faultless based im mumbai or somewhere. i am not a brand seeker if its cheap and works and is not a brick then it works for me. the zte flip with vga camera and video and tv is okay for me and £10 cash back for keeping my old number means only cost me £5 quid. glued in sim but as i cannot afford contract and am limited funds i only need this phone for safety and occassional calls i dont mind this for a fiver
    :j I sometimes give myself admirable advice, but am incapable of taking it.

    How does "£10 cashback for keeping my old number" work?

    I'm porting from easyMobile, I have aver £160 of free credit on easyMobile, so I've donated some, entered competitions and also used it to top up my VoIPStunt account, so now have 364 free days with VoIPStunt and a fair amount of credit.

    Not entirely on topic, BUT

    How did you manage to get 364 free days on VoipStunt? i thought you get 120 free days by topping up and then when they are over, if you top up again then another 120 days?

    Also was the topping up by text (from easymobile) straightforward?

    It was fairly easy to top up by text, I just selected the top up by text option, it then displays the details required, it was text voip [a number] to [their short code number]. For £5 you get €4.50 (4.5 Euro) credit and 60 days, if you top up again you get (at least I did) another €4.50 credit and 60 more days added on. I couldn't get any more than 364 free days.
    It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!

    I went for the C975, the SIM was in its own packet, you had to open and slot the SIM in yourself, no glued in SIM there.

    The packaging mentioned you didn't get a Micro SD ram card, you had to buy separately if you wanted more memoery than built-in to the phone, but inside my sealed box was a 64MB Micro SD ram card with SD size card adapter.

    I'm happy with it so far, I like the slightly larger size, as being a giant myself means I have rather large hands and fingers and was finding the new regular sized phone way too small.

    ive been with three for 4 years, no problems, brilliant service

    aslong as you live in a built up area eg....a city or town, you will be fine

    anyone who complains about customer service....doesnt know how to talk properly, its YOU that has the quierie, so its your job to make the representative understand what YOU WANT.

    im indian, and never once have i had to use any other language apart from english to get what i want from three's custoemr services.

    its not hard!
