£5 per month deal on 3?

A month ago I signed up with Carphone Warehouse on the £3 per month deal, for 500 mins and 100 texts, that featured a Nokia 7600. At the same time there was a similar deal which featured a flip phone for £5 per month.Does anyone know if this deal is still available as I can't find it and my daughter needs a contract cheaper than the £25 she now pays to O2?

Thanks.

    These offers are common so just keep your eye out on the bigger companies like e2save, osps, cpw and the rest

    Have a look at clubmobile.co.uk
    We bought an LG8120 at £4.49 per month on 3.
    500 anytime minutes to any network & 100 texts.
    Look at their weeks special offer.
    Hope this helps
    regards

    beware of these smaller companies, im sure you will have seen what happened with fwd celular, its the companies that sign you up that pay you the cashback not the networks, you must remember this, and as someone else mentioned earlier you want to go with someone with big backers so they can afford to pay you the cashback 6 months down the line.

    Agreed. That is why I got my phone from CPW a month ago. At the time they seemed to have other 3 deals (for around a fiver) on other phones and that is what I'm after now.
  • clubmobile.co.uk took my order, delivered at exactly the time they said they would, apparently have been in business for 14 years and are the largest Orange UK distributor, and have 300,000 active Orange customers at present. They have been ISO 9002 accredited since 1997 and are part of Celltalk plc.
    They are also quoted on AIM.
    I'm just quoting from their " about us " page on their site, so if it's all lies I apologise.
    The LG 8120 was £4.49 per month, so I hope they're OK.
    Just trying to help !!!

    I would agree with lofty - stay with the big guns - i did a deal with the mobile republic and they went bust - 12 months free line rental down the swanny but vodafone gave me six months back as a nice gesture which was better than nothing.
