Orange PAYG - Alcatel 1010 Mobile FREE With £10 Top Up -Use Quidco For £5 Cashback!

On Orange they are offering the Alcatel 1010 free, if you top up £30, but if you add the phone, plus £10 credit to your basket, the phone still comes up free!

Its a very basic phone, but perfect for a back-up/emergency phone, and for orange Wednesday texts. (I have bought mine for orange wednesdays, and activity days out where I don't want to risk my S3)

Plus, if you go to the Orange site through Quidco, they are offering £5 cashback ..

So, go through Quidco, add the phone and £10 Dolphin credit to your basket, pay £10 (delivery is free to EE shops, 1p to your home) and receive £5 cash back.

You will end up with a free phone and £10 credit for £5!

And with Dolphin you get 400 free texts and 1G free data for every £10 you top up, so it works out as a really good deal!

    Thanks for the heads up. Since I moved to Ovivo, I haven't looked back, except for missing the occasional Orange Wednesday.

    How does this work? I'm guessing that the free texts last for a month and in subsequent months, texts cost 30p each taken from the £10. So if using Orange Wednesdays alone, this offer lasts for 33 weeks. (If I haven't miscalculated.)

    If you don't need credit CPW do Samsung E2121B for 50p on PAYG upgrades with £6 quidco cashback.

    That said, my experience is that CPW are PITA for PAYG upgrades online.

    Orange wednesdays dont come out of the free texts..they are 35p each, and come out of your credit..It works out at 28 weeks..which, at £5 a ticket works out at about £140 worth!

    Not bad for a fiver (if you go through quidco)!

    And at £6.95 a ticket for us, even better. :)

    I'm expecting home delivery tomorrow - just 1p for delivery before 10:30. I've just checked my AmEx account online and see that Orange have charged phone and delivery separately. Yes, there's a transaction of £0.01. :p

    Thanks for this. :)
