Are there any 12mo free on 12mo contracts anymore?

Originally I got one from mobileshop.com but they don't do 12mo free on a 12mo contract anymore.

Can anyone recommend anywhere else...apart from e2save as I wouldn't go anywhere near them based on previous experience!

    Plenty. Can't link to them but mobileoutlet, buymobilephones, mobileshop, coolnewmobile to name a few still offer them...

    Never used any of those myself though...

    True but very risky people to deal with though. You probably will have to chase them up several times just to get your cashbacks.

    Is there anyone you could recommend? I was just about to sign up for a 12 month deal through dial to save (https://www.dialtosave.co.uk) and thought I'd check this site out first. The deal I was looking at involves a £420 outlay, with cashback claimed in installments. If this is as risky as other posts say, then I won't take a chance on losing that sort of money.

    Best deals I can find at the moment are go to https://www.quidco.com and then search on phonespot (CPW and therefore generally thought to be one of the safest for cashbacks).

    Clearance Nokia 6230i

    Total line rental cost for 12 months £360

    The cash back deal is

    "£3.41 line rental

    A credit of £70.00 will be raised automatically by cheque within 2 months if you do not cancel your contract. You will receive a text message when this credit has been successfully raised.

    To gain the remainder of your line rental / cash back please send your 6th 8th 10th and 12th monthly bills within 30 days of the date stated on the relevant airtime bill to us and we will credit you by cheque with £62.28 each time.

    This will save you £319.11 over the 12 month duration of the contract. In effect this means that your average line rental per month over the contract period is £3.41 per month."

    So 360 - 319.11 = 40.89 for a whole year.

    Go through quidco.com and get an extra £50

    9.11 in credit.

    Pay you 4 * £1 registered post, and that leaves you with over £5 in credit.

    Oh yes, I almost forgot you also get 250 mins 100 texts.

    It's CPW O2, and there is a thread on what that means. http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=413659

    There don't seem to be any O2 ones now. I am trying to find an O2 12 months free line rental on a 12 months contract as they are the only network that lets you use your inclusive minutes allowance on 0845 and 0870 numbers.

    admittedly the phone is fairly basic but you can still get the nokia 1600 with 250mins/100 texts on O2 for 12 months free with mobileshop.

    Think I might go for the CPW O2 deal, but can anyone tell me if they will let me port my number over from existing 02 contract?
    Or do any of these other sites let you do that?
    Thanks!
    Me debt free thanks to MSE :T
