Looks like a good deal but am I missing something?

Coming to end of contract with Orange and they will only offer me 2 year contracts which I really don't want, just been on dialphone website and seen this on Vodaphone

Samsung glaxy S2, 12 month contract, unlimited text, 300 mins, 500mg data (your plan 36) The phone for £75 - £36 per month. Total cost over 12 months - £507.

Seems too good to be true, free ins for 1st month (which I will cancel and look elsewhere for). No cash back on retention deal or anything which I don't want as would never remember to send in the bills!!

What do you think? should I be warned of anything? I presume the inc mins are any network as are the texts?

Your comments please!

    I have bought two handsets from Dialaphone in the last 6 months & would recommend them. Also go via Topcashback.co.uk & get an easy £45 more - my items tracked within a day & got paid within 2 months.

    Dial-a-phone are very reputable and I had no problems with them when I had my contract. I assume you've checked fully to see if there are any better deals? They seem to have a lot on there.

    Not sure if the deal is still on, but a few months ago Quidco were offering £60 cashback on a 12-month SIM-only deal with Vodafone. So you could effectively have 300mins + unlimited texts for £5/month, or £60 for the year. I'm sure you could find a phone for less than £440.

    There is a good deal with talkmobile on samsung galaxy S2 for 12 months. Phone gor 119 and then 30/month giving u 400 minutes, 1 GB data and good amount of texts. Comes to £479 I think. I was seiously tinking of that before accepting orange upgrade
    I wanted to thankyou a million times but its a shame that I can press the button just once :T
