Simply3G

Has anyone experienced Simply3G as they seem to be offering amazing deals on the Three network.


NEC e338 for £6.99 per month

Motorola C975 for £3.49 per month.

These are cash back deals but I have never heard of this company before and would not want to be left high and dry like some of the Forward Cellular customer.

Any views/experiences would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks


sorry for the lack of valid links - it is so long since I have posted that I have forgotten how to do links

    I have seen them too, but have not used them. HOWEVER, here's a 3 deal to get your teeth into!!
    http://www.talkworldonline.co.uk/phone_tariffs.cfm?phoneid=373&networkid=6&price_plan=monthly&tariffid=418&CFID=343136&CFTOKEN=201fd2659302b578-89805F36-9A3A-DD0E-C3E4314B710A216C

    12 months FREE rental for the talk & text 600 tarriff!!
    Beat that if you can!
  • Thats a mighty fine offer ! But has anybody used Talkworld before and what are they like for cashback ?
    Up the Rams !!

    I had seen this Talkworld offer as well but it has the added complication that you have to change tarrif after 6 months to Talk and Text 200 for it to be free as they give cash back for the last 6 months at £20. You can change to the lower tarriff butif you don't it will cost an extra £10 per month.

    This makes the cost of the Motorola C975 on Talk and Text 600 £69.99 for the year which is £5.83 per month (£9.99 for the handset plus 6 x £10).

    As far as I can see on the Simply3G site the same deal would be £41.86 (12 x £3.49).

    As I have never heard of either of these supliers it would be good to get some feedback from anyone who has used either of them.

    Alternatively if anyone has details of offers that are as good as these from well known suppliers I would be grateful. I see that the CPW has the Nokia 7600 on offer again at £4.99 per month but that is a bit of an odd handset and I would prefer something a bit more 'normal'.

    Thanks

    i have used talkworld before.
    got cashback no problem although i did have to give them a nudge over the phone but they said that the cheque was just waiting to be sent.
    main plus of talkworld is that all cashback is after 6 months unlike most other offers

    I too have used Talkworld with variable success. Three out of 4 times they were all right, after a reminder asking when the refund would be paid, but on the last occasion I had to ring several times over an extended period and received a variety of excuses - some of them untrue. The final straw was when I enventually got the cashback cheque they had forgotten to sign it! This meant sending it back and an even further delay. They promised to refund the postage but did not do so.

    Would I use them again? No, there are much better offers around.
