    Only ordered this afternoon and it's still "awaiting checking". I'm concerned that the order status also says my free gift is "3 months half price rental (from network)" rather than 7 months free rental by cashback, but I emailed them and was told this was a mistake on the order tracking system and that the actual gift was the 7 months free line rental.

    What can a high street voucher be spent on? Any minimum spend? They certainly don't state it clearly! Just as long as they don't try to give it all to me in vouchers.... I'm very tempted to keep the K750i....

    hi PinkPig,

    i was told the £10 voucher is valid in most high street stores. e.g argos/whs etc.

    cashback for line rental is defo. not in vouchers but via cheque as stated on site and been told by others who have been with OSPS before.

    online orders are likely to come after the bank holz tues/weds time as i was told on the phone.

    this phone is top notch and hope to use it for more than a year unlike previous phones as it has everything you could want :)

    thanks,

    Remember to cancel the technical help thingy too, "Talk Me Through It" (if they've included it). I think they said it was £6.99 a 1/4.

    No honestly, I've ordered the Nokia and I'm sure they included "Talk Me Through It" in the small print somewhere - I've made a mental note to cancel it anyway!

    I cant get to the stage of the order process that it was on with out actually ordering the phone again but there is more info on what it is at the following link:

    Maybe it was just with the Nokia if you haven't heard of it??

    Nokia 6230i on Vodafone - I needed a new phone (to go with car handsfree kit) but not a new contract. I couldn't resist when I saw this thread showing how much it would eventually cost after downgrading tariff at month 6!
