    If the amount is the same, go via TCB. They are more reliable than quidco.

    I see the only suitable option at TCB:

    Contract Handset Purchase £50.50

    I saw a Tesco mobile the other day, I believe they are doing the same deal with the HTC for £15 a month, but you get more mins and internet downloads.:T

    Hi Grumbler - was this for TalkMobile via TCB, or purchasing through CPW? The only ones I see for contracts are:


    New 12 Month Contract £45.45

    New 24 Month HTC Galaxy/Desire Contract - £25 Tariff £101.00

    New 24 Month Talker Contract - £4.99 Tariff £40.40

    New 24 Month Talker Contract - £10 Tariff £45.45

    New 24 Month Talker Contract - £20/£25 Tariff £60.60

    New 24 Month Texter Contract - £8.49 Tariff £35.35
    New 24 Month Texter Contract - £10 Tariff £40.40

    New 24 Month Texter Contract - £20 Tariff £45.45

    It was CPW through TCB

    I think the same deal is avalabe at TalkMobile through TCB, but the picture is pretty confusing at TCB indeed...
  • It certainly seems to be.

    Out of interest - if taking out two contracts via CPW, can we get cashback on each one?

    Hi

    Invisibleyousee I haven't ordered anything yet.

    Yesterday afternoon I was looking at the HTC Desire. There are deals which involve cashback that bring the price in at just under £15 per month with lots of texts, call time and 500mb of internet time. Add to this £50 of cashback via Quidco brings the price down further.

    I've been reading up on cashback and whether I want to take the risk. Still can't decide !!

    Why not?
    I wouldn't do it at the same day though if the contracts are on the same name.
    Otherwise you can even open the second account at TCB for extra £5 RAF bonus.

    I'm seriously thinking of going for this. I had a look today and for my usage it seems a good deal. I've never had a contract phone. I've been PAYG with 02 for ages. I average £8 per month and don't use the internet on mybasic old phone. Over 2 years that's £192, compared to £288 for a nice phone ( new enough for me) and 2 years internet. I won't go over the monthly limit with my usage. If I wait for the latest phone I'll never get one, and certainly not for £12 pm. Plus half of the stuff will be lost on me. I'm just not sure how you get the cashback with Quidco etc. Can anyone advise?
    My other option was the San francisco but I can't see a deal that good.
    Thanks

    Use TCB instead.

    My other option was the San francisco but I can't see a deal that
    £90 for the phone and 100min+Unlimited 1-month rolling contract on t-mobile for £10.21 per month with £80.80 cashback after 3 months?

    Hi

    Whats the advantage of Topcashback over Quidco ?

    I'm already registered with Quidco and so far I've not had a problem

    Thanks
