    It must be back in stock!
    Probably the safest cashback deal your ever going to get, the phone is full of features you just have to get used to the funny shape and it's quite hard to text.
    Amazing prize considering the minutes though. :T

    If they are still doing it trade in your PAYG and get £20 (or an any old phone and charger).

    Sign up to quidco and follow the link and get yourself an additional £24.50 (minimum claim £20 from quidco £5 yearly charge, so it would be £19.50 if you buy nothing else from quidco, I believe the £20 claim minimum is before they knock of the £5 so you should be able to claim straight away). Transaction must be done online.

    £2.99 * 12 = 35.88
    - 20
    - 19.50
    = your into a profit....

    Well you do have to pay recorded delivery for the cashbacks, so anyway it should work out free over the year.

    As these are reconditioned phones, does anyone have any idea whether they're likely to be locked to 3? If so, are these easy to unlock?
