I had two girls disintegrate from talking to me again tonight and another one earlier in the week.

Tell us more, how did you get 3 girls to disintegrate?

Some sort of Dr Who ray gun?

Can i be clear on this deal with cashback.
I would be charged the full £10 per month @ 24 months on my debit/credit card when i sign up, then claim back the £156 cashback over a period on the dates they give.

So a free phone + £240 to pay on my debit/credit card upfront.
Is this correct.

Incorrect.

You pay by direct debit monthly and claim back over 18 months - IF you know what you're doing and what to do if things go wrong. I live by these deals as do many people I order for and watch over. Do your proper research first, starting here:-

I got an email today saying that vectone are sedning me a sim card.

I can only assume that post office has given out my details to all and sundry?

because I never give that email out to any bodies except certain things and had only given it to post office the other day when I bought a sim card.

I specifcally said I didn't want to be contacted on it and now Im getting emails and also some junk.

I always avoid giving out my details where possible for this very reason. Or maybe it could have been delight since I ordered that aorund the same time.

Seems strange that rival companies get my info, I don't see why one company would give a rival my details?

Any ideas what might be going on? or is delight vectone? that would make more sense.

diamonds

Delight and Vectone same parent company.

Don't worry about it, when I sent off for a Delight sim I had an email from Vectone, like diamonds said same parent company

I bought a payg sim from tescos but I looked at standard text charges and it says on the card slip its 10p per text not 4p as I was led to believe. Any idea why?

4p is for 'tesco lite' tariff, not their 'standard' marketing gimmick "triple credit" with much higher charges for calls and texts.

Contact them and ask to switch you to the 'lite' tariff or order a new sim online.
