Cheapest contract without claiming cashback

I have had many cashback contracts over the years but just now things are looking far to ugly & underhand to risk getting burnt with one of these at the moment. _pale_

So therefore what is the cheapest contract offer out there without the need to claim cashback, can you please help? :shhh:

Just got my PAC from 3 today, they are not playing ball with me this year (£255 back on £300 contract last year). £13/mth with no h/set for 300mins &100txt was best offer after over 3 weeks of phoning for retention deals.

Looking for about the same mins+txt allowance.

Many thanks in advance :o

    Surely someone must have information as to which network offers the cheapest contracts without claiming cashback?

    What are the latest offers?

    Thanks

    The £15 deal above includes a h/set, where as the £13/mth 300mins of my original post does not. Had my h/set for 2 years so would like a new one if there is a deal.

    I think that the £15 a month deal from 3 is quite good. you get 500 mins per month for £15 or 75 mins and 600 texts. If you want to go for the 500 mins you can add 100 text for an extra £5. Its an 18 month contract and if you take out the deal via the reccomend a friend system both parties get £30 credit. You can reccomend as many friends as you like. If your interested pm me and i'll send you my number and we will both get £30 credit.

    I think that is the correct phone - saw this in the Sun or Star recently.
    Is available until end of sept and I think the £15 tariff may be for life but not 100% sure on that!
    I am going for this once I have my PAC from Vodafone - my old phone SE W800i is ok so am not bothered about the phone really - just want enough xnetwork mins/texts for my money without stress of cashback. Although have had cashback ok from dialaphone and e2save for last 2 contracts, just stressful wondering if will arrive! May try to sell the phone to get some of my money back - although that is stressful too judging by all the ebay scams!
    Don't know if can recommend a friend though as am not currently with 3 but will be happy to try it if anyone wants to share the cash! :D

    bigmuffins, the deal you mention appears to be £20/mth on the 3 website, so do you know if the deal was through a reseller or direct with 3?

    I think that was the old £15 a month deal. It expired at the end of August and the new deal cut the minutes down heavily.

    Yes i think thats right. I cant see the 500 mins at £15 per month on the 3 web site anymore ( i bought mine through the web site), looks like they are giving you only the £20 option now which includes 100 texts and 500 mins.
