Any deals around on the SPV C500?

As title, this is the only phone which I really fancy at the moment so if anyone knows any good offers send them my way! Looking for something with roughly 120 xnet mins and maybe a small amount of txts would do for me

Have you tried Orange? They have some pretty good deals online... They almost rival the O2 Online contracts.

Looks not too bad grumbler, works out at an average of under £10 a month. Are e2save reliable with their cashback setup?

Never dealt with them. Search the board. I do not remember any too bad feedback besides that it is very difficult to get their 'recommend a friend' £30. Now they are part of The Carphone Warehouse.

P.S. If you buy it read my ADVICE

Me and my Dad have each got 2 contracts with them (from when they were offering 12 months free on a 12 month contract around xmas ) I've sent off for cashback a few days ago and going by what everyone's said here they're really reliable, especially as they're owned by Carphone Warehouse (as are OneStopPhoneShop).

Anyway, this is how I'd do it:

Sign upto LineMyPocket then go via them for £15 (they actually offer £30 but despite me referring 10+ customers to them a little while ago when they were offering the deal I signed upto (so many times hehe) they've never paid up, so going via LineMyPocket is much more likely to get you cashback).

Then, I would sign up to the Nokia 3120 deal (wait for it!) BECAUSE you'll pay £30 in line rental instead of £144 for the same contract.

So what, you'll then have £114 to spend on the SPV C500, right? (bet you weren't thinking that but anyway!) No! Because you can sell the Nokia 3120 for at least £40 on eBay (check the Nokia unlocking thread to increase it's value http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=33695).
So thats £154 to spend on a SPV C500.
They cost about £130 on eBay.

To recap, doing it this way will cost:
£30 (line rental) - £15 (cashback) - £40 (selling phone) + £130 = £105 (instead of £114).

Hope that's of help (should pay your PartyPoker deposit for you hehe).
