Xbox 360 Core - Effective Cost: £55 (Mobile Contract)

If you're looking for a new mobile contract, Dabs.com have got an offer on at the moment.

Free Xbox 360
Samsung U600
600 Minutes
500 Texts
£35 per month (with first 2 months half price)
Making it £385 for the year.

The Samsung U600 is worth around £150 on ebay, making the cost of the contract £235 for the year,

3 are offering probably the best value contract for £15 for 500 minutes.

Take this off, and the Xbox is effectively costing you £55

So if you're tempted by 3's offer, but you've already got a mobile, then you might be better off doing this, getting an Xbox out of it too.

    Surely the XBox is only available on redemption though and not right at the start of the contract

    Sorry, I was only trying to point out what I thought was a good offer.

    Why not come in and say "You are better off shopping at dial-a-phone. Dabs are working as an affiliate for them, and you will therefore probably get a better deal directly from dial-a-phone" rather than being so negative.

    Cheer up, and less of the question marks eh?
