Virgin Lobster mobile phone with built in DAB and TV

Whirly

I messed about with quidco and *maybe* I got it, but who knows?

I used the lifestyle link as the tribes one seems to be a staff discount scheme (?) and I didn't have a tribe number (although using "1" worked). In the end I figured for 2 quid more there was no chance of losing the deal.

When I go through Quidco I don't get a voucher code box on my basket page.
Everyone else getting it?
Edit: Followed trl002's advice-it worked fine, I think

Just use the 25% off link above, and Add it to your basket. Close all virgin mobile browser windows, login into Quidco, click on the Virgin Mobile link from there, and click on Shopping when you get into Virgin's site. Now click on " Checkout" and there it is in your basket still. Now click on checkout to proceed and buy it. Simple!.

I asked Virgin if I could add this phone to my monthly £10 a month contract I currently have with them and they said no problem. Just call 0845 6000 600 during office hours and they will set this up for you apparently.

did you still have to pay for the phone or was it an upgrade? or did you have another phone on a £10/month contract?

Most of the reviews I've seen are positive, and taken from launch when it was released with a price tag of £199.99. For £40 this is an absoulte steal considering what you are getting here. Show me something similar that can compete with this for the money. I dont think you can.

But consumers did not want to buy them.

The launch info also says that TV is free for the first 90 days then £5 per month thereafter.
Also I can't see where the codes are people are referring to - have these been deleted from the forum??

Even when it was £99.99p they did not want it. The interest in Mobile TV is very low.
