    Hi,
    The link refers you on to a company called Fonestation.
    The cost is given as £60 with 3 months free insurance.
    Is this really the total I will pay, that is after cashbacks?
    Has anyone had any dealings with this company and can the insurance be cancelled before I have to pay for it?

    Hey, you should check out o2 online @ https://www.o2.co.uk

    400 mins anytime any network 500 texts £45.00 per month plus free handset.

    Or you could opt for the sim only deal where you only recieve a sim card, that gives you 400 mins 500 texts but no phone!

    Personally i would not bother with 3 as a mobile phone provider they have very poor coverage in the uk, hence the cheap contracts.

    Hope this help's

    With a good phone 3's coverage is equal to O2's. Some of the older handsets took a while to swap between 2G and 3G, but the newer ones don't have this problem and therefore you're guaranteed at least the O2 roaming 2G backup service.

    o2 online give 400 minutes 1000 text for £45 with handset!

    And 800 minutes 2000 text without handset!

    For £30 you can get 400 minutes 1000 text without handset!

    I would avoid 3 like the plague. The return rate to some stores I used to work in is 75%+!
