[CLOSED] NEC E616 for £1.99/month E:Soon

8383

Ok, I've got the phone, its suprisingly big though.

You get a usb cable, handsfree kit, larger spare battery, charger etc.

The phone seems easy to use, its got a camera on the front and one on the back and the quality is pretty good.

I've connected it to my laptop via the usb cable and software provided (easy to do) and I have easily transferred pictures etc to and from the phone.

The screen is also pretty big, 2" long and approx 1.5" wide.

The phone is about 7" when fully opened. Approx 4" long when closed.

The phone also has a small display on the front when closed. This displays the battery, network connectio, date, time. When someone telephones you it displays their number or name if stored in your phone.

Bluetooth - I avn't figured out how to connect it to my laptop yet, when I phoned CW yesterday the guy said I had to enter 111 when asked?

- Not sure what else to add, if anyone has any questions about it, please let me know.

But I haven't had any problems so far.

I think this is a great handset for the price, its just not the latest thing.

In addition to it costing £1.99/month via the cashback method you will be able to trade it in at the end of the 12 months, the standard trade in for CPW is £20 which pretty much pays for the 12 months anyway, alternatively you can sell it on Ebay where they are currently going for £30-£35

When you consider it costs you virtually nothing - you really can't beat this offer as long as you are prepared to send your bills off on time.

I've only ever bought a Pay as you go basic phone.
I just wanted to ask do you definetly get the money back? and if so how exactly do you do it? You take the phone bills that are sent through the post to a Carphone Warehouse shop? and do they give you cash?

Sorry for the questions I just didn't want to order it and then realise I would be paying the full amount after all :O)

I've now had a proper look at the full thread and see that the terms and conditions are shown-I see you send off for the cash-excellent!

Have ordered one for my son-much better than an Easter egg :O)


Thanks to the person who originally posted :O)

About the phone continued:

Well I have been using it constantly using I got it yesterday and I have to say that I am pretty pleased with it. The battery is pretty good, I charged it yesterday and I havn't needed to charge it since! Even though I've transferred songs and listening to them constantly, took loads of videos and pictures.

The camera is suprisingly good too! The pictures are pretty good qualtiy.

I still haven't figured out how to get the bluetooth going properly, I think I read that it only works for bluetooth headsets, but the guy from CW did tell me that I could connect it to my laptop.

Reception on the network has been pretty good also. I haven't been anywhere yet where there is no reception....

I should of said: you do have seven days after receiving this phone to decide if you want it or not. If you don't want it as far as I know you can send it back to them!

Thanks to the OP for this. Have ordered two, its a shame that i've got to wait until after easter to play with them though.

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong but this now appears to be FREE!

There's also a Nokia 6230 with 200 mins and 200 texts for £1.99 per month.

It will not say at the Checkout £2.99, it will say 0 but beleave me it isn't free!

About the phone part III: My third day of having the phone, what can I say, I actually like it, I haven't charged the battery since the first time and that was three days ago! If I buy a sony memory card for it I can use the phone as an mp3 player!
