Is the '3' £17.50 18 month contract the best deal?

Just taken a look at 3's site for any new offers (think they are coming on June 3rd?)

Found on the Direct Talker 1000 the N70r and LG U300 handsets have been added @ 18 months half price.

So now for 18 months @ £17.50 you can get:

Nokia N70r
LG U300
LG U880 Pink
LG U300 Orange

Don't forget £30 Recommend a Friend (pm if you don't know anyone)
+ Bluetooth headset
+ Quidco (@£82.50)

works out @ £11.25 per month

Do you happen to have any documentation or screen shots of this mate, i'm getting desparate because three are trying to claim that it was only 6 months half price line rental and won't believe me that it was 18 months - and your post is pretty much the only other proof i have.

Thanks

Bossworld - which phone did you get? Perhaps you should try one of those web archive sites, see if you can pull off the old page from the three website. Good luck!

Sorry I did not keep any screen shots from the time, I eventually went for the N80r but I don't have the documentation to hand (currently away from home).

I took opas's advice and did a quick google for archive sites (never knew they existed) you might want to check out the following link:

Thanks for the replies you two, i've already tried the archive and the store doesn't load for the 11th of June even though the link is there. They rang me back last night and again said I needed written proof but i'm 99% sure I never got anything through the post to say it's 6 months or 18 months. I've tried pointing at your post and they've just disregarded it, which in my eyes means they're labelling us both liers. I think the offer was only on for a few days because prior to your post date it was only 6 months, then after it, the n70r disappeared off the site to be later reintroduced as a £15 a month deal.
