Virgin Mobile have a mobile phone called Lobster 700TV (http://www.virginmobile.com/vm/viewProduct.do?productId=13834F7C-2020-48D1-92FD-5E67C17154B9)
It allows you to watch TV and listen to DAB radio. They currently have it on PAYG for £109.99 + £2.99 delivery. If you go through Quidco you get 10% Cashback (clear cookies first). Virgin are offering £50 airtime "That's £5 already loaded on your SIM and a £10 voucher. Plus, there's £35 airtime paid over 7 months" (see T&C's).
TV is free for 90 days then it costs £5 per month. As long as you make one chargeable call per month they will give you the £5/month top-up (for 7 months) thus the TV is free. They also do Saturday delivery.
After quidco virgin offer etc the cost is £51.98!!!!!!!

When I saw the dollar sign in the title, I was sure that this would be the usual pyramid scam but its actually quite a good deal.....
Think I will wait till I have seen the phone in action first but looks some good features on it!!!

Also of note for anyone is that if on PAYG, TV costs £5 per month after the first 90 daysHaikus are easy
But sometimes they don't make sense

Are there any mobile phones with dab radio but no tv - don't want tv but a dab radio would be useful.."The happiest of people don't necessarily have the
best of everything; they just make the best
of everything that comes along their way."
