    I've come to the end of my 18 month contract, had a really bad experience about a year ago with some phone issues. Told them wholeheartedly that I wanted to cancel.

    I was on 600mins/600 texts @ £35pm, with cashbacks taking it to £23pm
    They have offered me 600mins/1000 texts @ £4.85pm no cashbacks.

    It's a great offer but I'm still not taking it. They screwed with me so much, countless hours and energy wasted.

    Unlimited Internet.

    £25 per month, 18 Month contract = £450
    Comes with a £400 cashback (6, 12, 18th bill).

    So makes it £2.77 per month.

    Like it so didn't haggle and just took it. I'm happy

    When did u ring them for the deals above?

    I rang them 2 days ago and the best deal they would do me is 600mins 1000 text free bolt on 18 month contact works out at £11.67 a month after cashback

    Within the past few days - offered the £11.67 (11 months free on 18 month contract) by sales earlier in the week. By phoning through the customer services/closing account option it seems to go through to customer loyalty who have different offers available. Phone 0870 111 7200 - cannot remember the options but it is obvious when you hear it (thinking of cancelling or something like that).

    What do people think - is mine a good deal or is there better to be had - 540 cashback on 630 contract, 18 months inc web unlimited, itemised billing and ITS, 600 mins/1000 texts, claim 6/12/18 (though yus786 deal works out cheaper!)?

    Many thanks

    Can anyone suggest a cheap but decent phone that can be used to browse the net...

    Doesn't have to be new but needs to be unlocked or PAYG on O2

    Hi mate - Do you mean 1000 texts as 100 seems very little. I am on the option 3 from last year.

    Wondering if anyone has got any deals with one of the newer handsets (N96, 5800, Tocco, Pixon, C905 etc etc) as I have a K850i and thinking of swapping it.

    These contracts we've been offered... are they 3G?

    Looking at getting a phone and need to know whether i should get a 3G one for the 'unlimited' internet i've been offered for free.

    cheers

    Are those cashback by redemption deals or a straight account credit ?
