Hello
Just wondered if anyone knew if 2 or 3 deals could be used together.

I would like a Nokia 7373 Mobile Pink Phone that is £149.97

So my example is :

I buy my shopping and spend over £25 in store. As the Leaflet says "£25 off phones when you spend over £25 in store. Offer applies to all Tesco Mobile network phones over £50."

So that is £149.97 - £25.00 = £124.97.

I then purchase £20 of air time vouchers which entitles me to "£25 off any Tesco PAYG mobile over £50"

"Even if you already have a handset, you can still take advantage of Tesco Mobile's low-rate calls and texts with a SIM card. Simply choose the tariff that suits you best - Standard, Extra or Value. For just a few pounds, you could cut the cost of calls and texts.
Or try a SIM card porting pack with everything you need to switch to Tesco Mobile - containing a Tesco Mobile Standard Tariff SIM card, a SIM saver to transfer your phone book and free airtime.

Half Price SIM & Half Price Airtime
Buy our Tesco Mobile Extra SIM with £20 airtime and get both Half Price
That’s a SIM for £2.23 (normally £4.47) and £20 airtime for £10. Was £24.47 Now £12.23 SAVE £12.24" FROM TESCO WEBSITE

£124.97 + £12.23 (See above) = 137.20 - £25.00 = £112.20.

Is there any way i can use these deals together
Or can anyone point me in the direction of the cheapest nokia 7373 Pink ?

To onredbull:

Not sure about combining the Tesco deals, but aren't the phone and SIM/airtime 2 separate transactions anyway? From reading your message, seems like one would not affect the other.

Argos have a special offer on the Nokia 7373 on O2, 129.99 with free matching leather case. Offer ends 24th April 2007. See this link:

Thank You Kislaya.



Does anyone know what colour it is from argos as i have looked on the argos site and no picture is coming up.

Has any1 bought 1 from argos ?

The 1 in argos is O2 and im not an expert but would it be easy and cheap enough for me to swap to orange if i follow info on this forum ?

what network are you on?, orange do the phone for £129.99 i think, you need to put £10 credit on the phone though unless your already on orange or have someone close whos on orange, if your on orange saves you the cost of unlocking
dont think you can do both of the tesco deals remember it saying 'or' in the paper

You're welcome, onredbull!

Sorry I have also never managed to open the picture on the Argos website - there must be a fault on the website. I presume it is pink as it seems to be the most common colour for the Nokia 7373, but definitely check before buying (especially as Argos make it very clear that mobile phones are excluded from their money back guarantee)!

Here's a link for the Pink Nokia 7373 from Woolworths, 129.99 on O2 Pay As You Go, plus 4.95 delivery:

http://www.woolworths.co.uk/ww_p2/product/index.jhtml?pid=50844428

Please note that unlike Argos, there is no free matching leather case mentioned!

By the way, I also searched the thread 'Free Unlock codes for Nokia Phones 6' for you, and there is no mention of the Nokia 7373 in the entire thread, so I do not think that there is a free way to unlock it. The opening message on that thread states that networks will unlock phones on their network for a fee of about 20-30 pounds, but perhaps it would be a bit cheaper in a shop?

Hope this helps! Kind regards.

Last year, I bouhgt a PAYG mobile from Tesco - all you had to do was spend £50 on groceries to get £25 off any PAYG phone costing over £50. When you buy the phone, you just pick up an empty case, pay for it (with your groceries) and then go to customer services to collect the phone. Now, here's the good bit which I found out by accident. You go on the till with the dumbest looking bored half-asleep teenager where hopefully they charge you the FULL price for the phone 'cos they forgot to give you your discount. You then go to the customer services desk where they have in large letters on the wall their 'customer charter'. On that charter they proudly boast that if you are charged more for ANY item than the shelf or ticket price, you will get a refund for that item and YOU CAN HAVE THE ITEM FOR FREE! I got a free phone for my daughter from the Lakeside branch and two days later I got a free phone for my son from the Gallows corner branch. Good luck!
