Motorola C975 with 500mins for £1.74/month (via cashback)

Another great phone deal has just appeared on E2save. The Motorola C975 is available on 3 for just £2.99/ month on a 12 month contract with 500 mins and 100 texts per month.

As with most phone deals you can save a load more with cashback sites. My personal preference is linemypocket who are offering £15 cashback on e2save contracts (£2.50 more than offered by GP). This brings the total cost down to £1.74 per month - which is less than the texts are worth alone!

This phone currently works out at £98.91 via carphonewarehouse who reckon its so good at that price that its on the home page - so for £20.88 via e2save it must be a bargain. It looks like a price error as e2save are advertising the 18month contract at £4.99/month

Here are the Links you need (non referrals)
Offer at e2save click on the Motorola c975 offer on home page (2nd row on the right)
Offer page at linemypocket with £15 cashback

Notes: the line rental is via cashback - i.e. you pay the full price upfront and send off your bills. Make a note in your diary and its not too hard!
Its also possible to get this slightly cheaper than via a cashback site by using the e2save refer a friend scheme. Thats provided you don't mind waiting 3 months and trust other MSE users to pay up!

    Note: Quidco is a cashback co-operative, this means it will give you maximum rebates on purchases whereas other cashback sites will often take a 50% cut meaning you will normally get 50% more cashback at quidco. The only thing they ask is that your first £5 of earnt cashback goes toward the maintenence of the site and to pay the salary of the guy who's running it.

    Has anyone actually had any money from them? Personally I'll stick with an established site or if you are an existing e2save customer you can refer yourself (in a different name)

    The best deal with this mobile is to get a referral from yourself (ie. if you have been a previous customer). From my calculations - this works out at 49p/month. This beats all cashback sites like greasyplam etc.

    Ordered one today. E2SAVE price matched the deal on mobileshop.com of £1.99 a month on '3' talk and text 600. Also qualified for £30 cash back for refering my wife as I am already an E2SAVE customer. Therefore for 12 months I'll be paid £6 and will have 500 anytime / network minutes and 100 texts. If anyone wants a referal pm me. Split 50/50 mine to go to the local premature baby ward at Derriford Plymouth. Just something I support after having a prem son.
    Cheers Moose

    No, however they're very forthcoming and the person who maintains the site posts on these boards, username : quidco .

    Remeber they haven't been around for long so it's normal for them not to hav emade any payments yet.

    I wouldn't recommend or put anyway through the hassle of a year with '3'. Im currently on my 9th month, and i can honestly say although cheap its the worst 'service' i have ever had.

    To put this into perspectiv its like paying £50 for a TV licence but the TV will only let you watch it when it feels like it - horrendous.

    You've been warned. At the very least i would say only get this if you never ever leave the big towns or cities.

    Three is the best network I've ever been on. The orange service pales in comparison but I am on anytime 200 which is awful.

    Even if what you say is widespread, this deal is only 56p/pm!
