1 Year Tastecard for £1 instead of £69.99

I just ordered the £1 per month SIM only Talkmoble contract which gets me 25 mins and 50 texts per month.

I'm using this to give to my gf who lives abroad and is likely to continue doing so for at least another 12 months so i can text for free (from my unlimited vodafone contract) instead of using skype sms's or other methods. SO I'm paying £12 - but you can just pay £1 as Minimum term is one month

As a bonus if you order this from Carphone Wharehouse you get a free 12 month tastecard which gets you 50% off or 2 for 1 deals on various restaurants around the UK:

I even managed to get this to track with topcashback - despite CW saying Talkmobile SIM only deals don't qualify. Currently tracking at £50 ;)

We'll see if it clears but....

this means i am getting paid £38
to have free texts to my gf abroad
and a 1 year tastecard!
Must find some great sushi restaurants we can both enjoy the 50% offer on for her next visit :p

If it doesn't track...you've risked £1

    I bought the £1.00 Talk sim in a high st Carphone Warehouse and it mentioned the Taste Card on the receipt. However when I went back next day the young lad gave me 6. So all my family now have year Taste Cards. That was about 3 weeks ago and this has already been mentioned on here. I ordered another through Quidco a week later and my Quidco is tracking at £50.00 and I got another free Taste Card. So although it is supposed to applicable to higher deals it seems to work on the £1.00 sims.
  • Doesn't mention the tastecard at all on the CPW site. Will leave this an hour or two and wait for further replies.

    Going to keep my eye on this one, my free 3 month trial tastecard runs out next month so am desperate to replace it.

    Yup, i didn't see any mention of it either however in the last two months I've ordered from CW to my home and to the nearest store to my home - and in both cases I've got a tastecard.

    For those of of you that can't be bothered to go through Talkmobile and carphone warehouse...quite a few for a pound or two on ebay :cool:
  • Thanks, I'll have a look at eBay. Would rather spend a quid or two now than have to faff around cancelling a contract after a month.

  • Free trail for 1 month independant from anything else, just ordered.
