UPDATED. Now £1 a month. Another offer on '3' for the c975- . The advantage being from what i can gather is that you get all your cash back at month 6 instead of having to wait until month 12.

    i think there is a better deal with talkworld at £9.99 for fone and free 12mon line rental. and if you join linemypocket to get 7.50 i think , that makes it 2.50 per YEAR! again 6month cash back :O)

    If i've got the right offer you mentioned , you have at month 6 got to reduce the tariff your on to 'talk and text 200'. This may suit some people not others. The advantage with the one i posted was that you get the 500mins and 100 text for the whole year. The advantage with both deals is that you don't have to wait til month 12 of the contract before you get your cash back.

    Has anyone claimed cashback from Microline Mobiles ?
    No mention on their site of how you do it ??

    Anyone any idea how I'd transfer my number to this deal - no mention of it on the site or order page ?

    Their telephone number is 0870 4440750 or 020 85672121. You get a form with your phone which you send back with your 6 month bill for the cashback. Make sure they put you on direct debit or you will get charged £3 a month by '3'.

    This deals now seems to be available in the 'high street', just check its a 12 month deal not 18, and also check when you get your cashback.

    Hey guys, I was just wondering how you guys are getting on with microline mobiles. Are they easy to get hold of if you have a problem? Have you been charged the correct amount and most importantly, are you getting all your cashback?

    Many thanks.
  • Hi Everyone,

    I am new to this, so appologies in advance if I sound a bit cynical.

    The Motorola C975 just looks too good to be true, is it? Are there any hidden
    gottchas.

    As this has been around for a while, I would be very grateful for an update before I try and place an order.

    Couple of thoughts, the website says insurance is £5.88 per month after 3 months, is this optional or do you have to buy the insurance? Is this a hidden cost?

    What are the call/txt rates after you exceed the 500min 100txt per month, are they reasonable?

    I assume you are only locked into a 12 month contract?

    I would be very grateful for any feedback.

    Many thanks

    Steve
