3 mobile and free bluetooth head set

familyfitz

Hi there,

I think I'll be ordering (or battering for in shop) a new phone over this weekend.
I'm going to go for either the SE K610i or K800i but don't know which yet (views appreciated).

Probably doing the student promo (1000 texts / 100 mins for £20) and plan to go thro Quidco for cashback. Have been reading about recommending a friend and free bluetooth headset on here. How do I find the details for the latter? i.e. a code or how to access a code. Don't want to miss out on what is on offer.

As I said, will go to shop tomorrow to decide phone and see if I can sort a deal out there but most likely end up doing it online. Can't see them giving cashback like quidco. Do I need to pay the £5 extra a month to be able to bid on ebay or can I get that anyway on the deal? If the latter do you still pay extra for using the internet?
Sorry, many questions.
Thanks

Think your a little confused!

Negotiating a deal n then ordering online wont work.
Quidco will only work when ordering online.
You get the code for the free bluetooth by asking a question online
eBay browsing and msn is free on all tariffs aslong as it is compatible with the handset, you only pay £5 for xseries which is mainly for unlimited internet browsing

Sorry didn't make myself clear.

I know quidco is only for online. I need to decide on the phone by going into a store but, probably with no success, will try to see if I can get anything more from them for signing up there and then (by mentioning doing it online with quidco.) As I say, need to go in to decide on phone so worth a try. In all likelyhood, will end up ordering online, hence asking about headset offer.

You can go online and get 1000 texts and 100 mins for £20 a month (plus £100 Quidco?!?!) and a free K800i for a decent deal.

Its the "Student Deal thats for everyone" tarrif!

I think that is probably the deal I'll go for but just not sure if the phone looks bulkier than the k610i? Hence thinking of going to look.

The deal is way better than what I have (or could get on renewal probably) with T-mobile.

To be honest I think the Direct Texter 1400 is a better tariff... 300 mins + 1000 txts and a few extra's .... you can get it for half price for the full 18 months at £17.50

Might not get the best handsets but worth it in the long run, you get £82.50 Quidco (only £60 on the student tarrif) http://threestore.three.co.uk/planoffers.aspx?tariffid=530&showall=true

Although badly written - this is what was said in the openning thread although the OP never claimed the incorrect quidco cash back (which is actually £60).

I agree but they don't have the phone the OP wants for 18 months half price. The 1400 contract is effectively £67.50 cheaper than the student one over 18 months with the quidco cashback. I.e. its £2.50 a month cheaper (£45) and £22.50 more cashback.

Sell the phone and use the proceeds plus the savings to buy the phone you want, works out cheaper overall and you get more mins!

So can you show me how much you can get for the 3 contarct phone that you dont want and where you can buy the phone that the OP does want that will work on the 3G network and it end up cheaper. I thought about doing it myself but couldn't find the deals to make this work without buying from ebay and being without a phone for a couple of weeks whilst doing the buying and selling. I think it's easier if you aren't too emotive about the exact phone you want and just get one you like best out of the ones in the 1400 deal. Easy for me to say but not too sure a teenager would agree!
