T-mobile pulling Quidco deal early

Dinah93

T-mobile emailed this offer through Quidco a few days ago:

T-Mobile offers with cashback

Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc now FREE from £15.32 p/m (was £30.64) - saving over £350 plus £80 cashback! 300mins, unlimited texts (when using flexible booster) and internet. Huge 4.2 touchscreen, 8Gb memory card, Android 2.3. ONLY available through Quidco

Expires: 21 Sep 2011

I went to order this tonight and it's not on the site, I called up and they said they'd pulled it but suggested I might want one of the other phones they're promoting.

I'm not best pleased as they're still advertising it so I do feel like I'm being lured in only to be pushed towards one of the cheaper phones on the same contract.

Does anyone have any advice, or has seen a similar deal elsewhere as it suited me down to the ground and I'm not chuffed they've pulled it early, and are still advertising it, despite not saying in the Ts & Cs it's limited to x number of people as I would have ordered earlier had I known this was the case.

I think I'm just angry vodafone are upping my contract from £21 to £35 and after a week of looking I finally found an offer I was happy with and as it turns out its not really there.

didnt TMobile pull a similar stunt last month when they had the Wildfire on offer then pulled it at the last minute

[STRIKE]The offer is still there for £15.32 a month, saving is £150 + quidco, not £350+quidco.
300 mins/ 300 texts plus internet.[/STRIKE]

Scratch that - its the Neo I am looking at - OP is right, Arc not on offer.

Ok gone through Quidco - selected Arc at £30 a month, gone to basket and changed plan to £15.32 still with the Arc and its let me to do that.

Ordered this (with arc) for my wife on saturday and it arrived today.

Quidco has also tracked for the correct amount which is a bonus.

If you have the correct monthly charge, the im sure that the quidco will be trackable at some point as its a 'special' quidco offer.

btw im selling the handset so as far as i am concerned this is the tariff only for circa £5 a month on a 24 month contract which im very happy with.

(My wife is adamant she doesn't need a replacement for her old nokia - we lost it once and tried to call it to find where it was and were were gutted to hear the ringing coming from the washing machine in mid cycle.... surprisingly the nokia dried out and has worked fine since....my wife is now convinced the nokia has special powers :rotfl: ... doubt the same could be said for the arc in the same circumstances)

Tried that OneADay, but the phone is coming up as £300 rather than free. I think the universe is telling me I'm destined not to enter the modern technological age - last time I tried I ended up with an E72 and thats about as useful as a rock. Vodafone havent even been able to restore net access to it for 3 months.

Ah I did not notice that.
Maybe t-mobile have done you a favour though cos this phone with same mins/texts etc on t-mobile, you can get a lot cheaper or virtual same total cost as quidco offer (and free phone) but with a cashback deal.
