    Hi guys - I want to buy a 12 month contract phone from dialaphone but want to port my no from vodafone payg to 02. I don't want the hassle and the worry of claiming cashback , but my 2 sons would love the free nintendo Wii!!!! :D I am trying to do this through quidco which I am new at , but can this be done with porting my no through quidco? Or do I have to do the number port over the phone losing my £60.00 with quidco? :confused:
    Also how easy is it to cancel the insurance? Are they reliable?
    Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    For the insurance just ring up the company after you receive your insurance documents and cancel.

    Thanks guys - I'm now thinking I might just get a new number!! It can't be that difficult to let everybody know new no! Just send them all a text from the old phone I suppose? £60.00 is alot to lose .

    How much is the Wii going to end up costing you?

    It's a 12 month contract @ £30.00 a month so £360.00 in total. I normally top up £20.00 approx once a month or more so that would be a minimum of £240.00, therefore costing me at the most £120.00 for new phone and Wii with sports game. If I get the £60.00 from quidco it works out that it has only cost me £60.00 for the wii and sports game ( & new sony erricson !) :j :T :beer: Hopefully I've got my figures correct ! I nearly went for a cashback scheme but after reading so many comments on here about people having problems I just thought its too risky and my so called free wii could turn out to be rather expensive!:eek:

    You shouldn't be including what you used to pay on PAYG in your calculations, as you have swapped it for line rental.

    You are still getting a reasonable deal though £120 for a phone, wii and minutes/texts for a year.

    Go via www.dialaphone.co.uk/youatwork once for each phone. Order one phone at a time.

    This way you get £45 FOR EACH PHONE as opposed to £60 once. Hence you get £90 rather than £60

    PM me for further info.

    HugoSP - I'm only getting 1 phone / contract! Not sure why you have mentioned this unless its for others aswell?
    Thanks anyway!

    Don't suppose anyone's had a reply from any of the addresses posted?

    If they can't be contacted by email then I may have to look elsewhere - the list of decent retailers seems to be getting smaller and smaller.
