Hi

Hope there are a few folk who can help

I want a simple pay monthly contract phone with minutes included in the bundle. I want to pay around £30 and I am not over bothered about the handset as long as it has a reasonable battery life. I do use text but not a great deal.

Any advice appreciated.

I could do cashback but only if it was simple, from what i have researched they all baffle me...I know i would foget.

Thanks
Oh how I dream............

    The simple option is to take the 3 tarriff, you get either 500 x network mins or 75 mins and I think 650 texts per month, no cashback and its £15 per month for life so if you are a light user then you will never pay more than £15, its very simple and at least you dont have the added worry over cashback.

    Free phone as well in which I recommend the Sony Ericsson K610i, so it would cut your £30 in half and its a non cashback offer so you just have to pay 3 £15 per month easy !


    Deal is here

  • Hi

    These phone companies rely on you to forget to claim cashback but if you can organise things right with when you send in your bills etc it can be easy.
    I've had two 12 months free hansets off of the Mobile Outlet and they have paid me twice so far even though they were a few days late both times.
    If you are going to go down this route remember to send in bills by Royal Mail Special Delivery every time.It costs about £4.00 odd each time but it will be worth it as this way there can be no argument about whether they've received your bills or not.
    I'd go for a 12 months free deal as this way the phone is free and you get all your rental back.All you pay is a small amount of VAT on your bill each month but you have to make sure you don't slip up and read all the small print carefully !!

    doc feelgood

    What area are you in, they have improved a lot and there is a coverage checker you can use here.

    If you have virgin T/v you can get 300misn and 300 texts for 315 per monnh ! No free phone thought, I fully agree with you though they should cut it down the middle maybe 400 mins and 200 texts would get a fair few people signing up.
