    There is a similar offer on the SAMSUNG D500.

    200 xnetwork minutes - 10 months line rental at 4.99 (via cashhback) last 2 months charged at full whack (£30)

    I suppose all the other savings (Line my pocket etc) are also available.

    So if you sign up for this

    1) Are the only costs £4.99 (before cashback) x 12
    2) Do you get to keep the phone at the end of the 12 months?

    Ive never done contract before, only PAYG!

    so can you unlock it when you get it and just stick your old payg card in and that would be fine with them or will they see your not using vodafone etc etc

    help ?

    1) No the costs are £15 for the first 3 months then £30 a month for the next 9. You get £75 cashback automatically then claim for £60 at months 4,8, & 12.

    2) Yes you keep it

    Yes you can, go over to the mobiles board - nokia's are easy to unlock.

    You can do what you want with the fone, and the contract - even if you never use the contract it's up to you.

    From my understanding this is how it works (Please correct me if i'm wrong):

    Month 01 Orange charge £15.00, CPW sends £75.00 automatically in 28 days
    Month 02 Orange charge £15.00
    Month 03 Orange charge £15.00
    Month 04 Orange charge £30.00, CPW sends £60.00 when u claim ur 4th bill
    Month 05 Orange charge £30.00
    Month 06 Orange charge £30.00
    Month 07 Orange charge £30.00
    Month 08 Orange charge £30.00, CPW sends £60.00 when u claim ur 8th bill
    Month 09 Orange charge £30.00
    Month 10 Orange charge £30.00
    Month 11 Orange charge £30.00
    Month 12 Orange charge £30.00, CPW sends £60.00 when u claim ur 12th bill

    Total money to Orange = £315.00
    Total money from CPW = £255.00

    So £315-£255=£60
    Divide the £60/12 = £5/month

    Get the offer through one of the rebates like linemypocket then it works out to: £60-£15 = £45 then £45 / 12 = £3.75p/month

    Remember:
    1. You need to claim for month 4, 8 and 12 by sending a copy (I think photocopies are ok?) of your bill to CPW.
    2. Also note (or even better print) the page detail with the address on where to send your cashback too so you dont have to delve into a paper mountain when the time comes. Just so you know the address to send the bills to is:

      Nokia 6230 OVP offer
      Redemptions
      The Carphone Warehouse
      P.O. BOX 4259
      Wednesbury
      WS10 7WZ
    3. Send by recorded post always, and fax too if you can.
    4. Remember that after month 12 you will be paying £30 p/month so you will ideally want to cancel at the right time. I believe its 30 days notice.
    ummm...

    Yes it is exactly the same, If I was you I'd wait though and buy from CPW because although they own e2save, e2save appear very poor with cashback if you look at the thread currently on mobiles. CPW have always been excellent with my cashbacks - I wouldn't want to have to keep chasing for months on end!
