Phones4u s3 deal question

HI

Wonder if someone can help me. I have seen this deal on phones4u and Dialaphone with orange.

Samsung S3 which are offering free phone, 600 mins 3000 txt and 1gb data. The price of tariff is £36 and the deal is £28.50 £7.50 bill credit. Does it mean this will be automatically discounted or do I have claim it back. No where it states that you have to claim back.

I will take it out via topcashback.

Thanks for help

    Dialaphone one is £28.50 and phones4u one is £36 - neither one is discounted line rental so no cashback (other than quidco/topcashback).

    You should be able to get cheaper deals elsewhere though.

    If you are a little flexible on minutes, you can get it a lot cheaper - as usual use topcashback / quidco etc. Admittedly some deals on there will be cash redemption offers.

    I quite like the look of Galaxy Note, Note 2 is coming soon too. S3 gets complained about because its a tad too big for some people.

    Agree.

    I needed abt 4-500 mins and about half gig data,, so went with the deal from Dialaphone via topcashback of £70 hopefully

    I see, never had either. I just read a review about Note 2 (not released yet), apparently its better than first version, faster, better battery life, better pen, smaller too I think. Too costly for me, can only afford peanut contracts. :mad:

    Bought S3 from Dialaphone via topcashback, the phone is arriving today... but just discovered that phone4u are offering £101 cashback via topacashback... £30 different

    Shall return the phone without opening and reorder ...
