If you are looking for a compact mobile/pda device then you might be interested in this!! The deal works by using a companies 120% cashback guarantee. I have used the Tariff: Relax 100 (The other tariffs WILL get a better deal)

The cheapest price found was at scancom Click Here but you have to purchase the phone from the link Click Here it will cost you £99.99 on the day of purchase. Once in receipt of the device call 0870 333 1222 and they will send you a cheque for £114.11 (£99.99 purchase price + 20% of the difference "99.99 - 29.30 = 70.61 20% @ 14.12")

Total annual cost £291.26 for 3* 200 minutes & 9* 100 minutes.

**Scancoms prices have consistently reduced over the past few weeks so the guarantee cheque could be more, you have 14 days after receipt of the device to use the 120% guarantee.

    Thank-you for voting in the poll. I put the fourth option in the poll so that I would get an indication as to how many people were reading the thread although not particulary interested in this type of phone.

    I noticed someone has opted for another tariff as this is a better deal, can you give an indication of your saving's? Other's may be more interested in that particular tariff than me. icon7.gif

    I've read it twice Tony, but not voted. It's the kind of thing I might think of in the future but not straight away. I've been a real cheapskate for phones compared to many, but it is tempting to get something like this, especially if it's easy enough to use wi-fi access and a VOIP softphone for free phone calls to/from home and especially from abroad.

    Is it worth the hassle for £14? Why not just buy from scancom. What if you buy from link then scancom are out of stock you will be £100 worse off.

    Or am I not understanding this correctly?

    You are understanding it correctly, you can increase the amount of money you make two way's. 1. choose an alternative to scancom whom are offering it at a cheaper price. "I will list some examples just incase scancom become out of stock" 2. Goto the referrers board "The link is in my signature" and look for quidco (£25.00 cashback via thelink) or an alternative such as Rpoint's or Greasypalm (£12.50 - Don't forget to use Martin's GP & RPoints links to benefit the MSE charity kitty).
