Offers in newspapers

Apologies if this has been posted before but it is a rather large message board to search through.

There are a plethora of very cheap mobile deals advertised in the back of the newspapers every day, offering the latest phones for free and line rentals of £5.99 / month for 500 mins and 100 texts, etc.

Are these deals for real or are they a con?

    They are mainly real, from companies like dialaphone etc...

    Usually they don't say that it's cheap because you get money back, and sometimes it's an 18 month contract, but people just assume it's 12.

    It will be all in their T&C and small print.

    Try https://www.!!!!!!.com that lists the latest deals from UK retailers, including all the major ones.


    good luck.
