Free Phone and free 12-month contract

2 years ago, I found an offer from OneStopPhoneShop that appeared to be too good to be true - a free phone and 12 months free rental on a 12-month contract. After much deliberation, I entered into a contract that included 100 minutes "anytime, cross-network" minutes per month and 25 texts per month. Although the cashback claims were slow being processed, they all arrived eventually (Saving £300 over the year).
Just before the end of the contract, I was contacted by OneStopPhoneShop to see if I wanted an upgrade - I opted for another 12 month free rental and this time got 200 anytime minutes and 50 texts per month. This saved me £400 (£360 rental + new phone sold on ebay for £40 nett). I introduced my daughter and my wife and got £20 "loyalty" payment for each introduction and they also get free calls.
My contract this year gives me 200 minutes per month + 75 texts + new phone (already sold for £60 on ebay). This will save me another £360 over the year.

Isn't this the Money-Saving website ?
I've not seen anything like this published on this website, so I thought that I would give the information in case anyone else used a mobile phone. You're free to ignore it.0 -
