this might be a naive questions - apols !

A neighbour tells me that a couple of years back he took out a monthly contract and was given an i pad as an "incentive". So my questions are - does this sound feasible and if so does anyone know of similar offers now ?

thanks

    Yes it does ......however there's no such thing as a free lunch as they say and you would usually find the cost is factored into the price for the contract so not really free as such
    It's not just about the money

    I agree. The price of the monthly line rental will be noticeably higher than a "normal" contract to subsidise the "free" ipad.

    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.
