Milli's new year

Just upgraded my mobile phone for (almost) free! :j

It took 1 1/2 years on Virgin PAYG for me to spend £100 on top ups to earn a £10 upgrade credit. No overspending for me on mobile calls! I got a Motorola W375 w/£30 of airtime for £42.98. And I expect to be able to sell my current phone on ebay for around a tenner, so basically a free phone without the hassle of a contract! Yay me!

I saw the deal two weeks ago, and considered it, then made sure I could budget it this month... £30 came out of the top up category (which I won't need to use again for 6 months) and the £12.98 out of my personal fun money. The money from selling the old mobile will be paid into my personal fun money, so that should work out. And I did it through quidco, so if it tracks (not sure if it will, since I already have a Virgin account), that will be another £4. So I could be a few quid better off, depending on quidco and the ebay sale.

But blast it! Stupid not delivering to the office means that I had to schedule it for next saturday, so I have to wait a WHOLE WEEK for my shiny new free phone!

Did you look at selling your phone on envirofone? You may get more for it and they pay postage costs etc. I think you can go through pigsback and get points (though don't quote me)
