Similar to the Android deal that has just finished, but £150 quidco for any 24 month pay monthly deal, (plus if contract is £25 or more pm truly unlimited data is available). This works out to £6.25 pm discount, making £10.21 deals effectively £3.96 pm. 100 mins, 100 texts plus internet on certain phones

Free phones at £10.21 pm include

Nokia C5


Samsung Monte (S5620)
Nokia C3 Touch & Type
BlackBerry Curve 8520
Nokia C2-01
Nokia X3 Touch & Type
LG Optimus One Navigation Edition
Nokia 5230 Ovi Music Unlimited
BlackBerry Curve 9300
BlackBerry Curve 9300 Smoky Violet

    Changed title as this deal is actually better than the one that just finished - bigger upfront cashback means less than £4 per month.

    LG Optimus One Navigation (Android smartphone) is on deal, as are a couple of Blackberry's :beer:

    just realised the LG optimus one is the better navigation version - comes with car mounting, car charger and pre-loaded Google sat nav software

    Just be careful, the £3.96 pm price would ONLY be achievable IF getting the £150 cashback from Quidco.
    If you don't get it (declined for example), then there is no way out of the contract and you will still have to pay for the 18/24 months, whichever term you chose.

    Cheap if it all goes to plan, but can you afford it if it goes wrong?? Other cashback deals out there, but by redemption, which can give absolute free deals (a profit in some cases) - again, fully reliant on getting all the cashback.

    Be careful if you genuinely couldn't afford 18 months or more at the full price.

    Agree with the tracking comment. You do get 7 days cooling off so i guess if it doesn't track quickly you could get out within 7 days - not ideal but would save you being locked in?

    Wise words, I'd also add if you have another phone with them or took the last deal this may not be available as it states 'new customers only' - which begs the question what would a returning customer be classed as ? :huh:

    Does anyone know if this plan has already internet or would I have to add the internet booster to have internet on the phone?

    If it does, what are the limits?

    Thank you!

    Car paid in full straightaway.
    Two properties fully paid. Wohhoooo!

    Also, in my experience, just because it tracks, does not mean it will be paid. Always treat quidco cashback as a bonus and not as guaranteed. Make sure you are happy with the deal without cashback in case it all goes wrong.

    They vary I think. the LG does include 500mb per month, plus another booster (texts or landline usually - you can choose)

    Hum but what confuses me is that there is a booster available for 500MB of internet :/ if it is included, why would someone choose that booster? Or is this booster something extra to what is already included?

    Could I get this LG phone, stick the sim into my HTC and flog the LG somewhere to bring the cost down even more?
