    ring back 3 and ask them if that was actually them
    usually its a 3rd party in which case i wouldnt touch with a bargepole as its probably a cashback deal with a random company that could disappear in 2mins
    Yes Your Dukeiness :D

    i think there pretty clever which is hardly rocket science really,they must look at my previous bills & work out how much i txt per mnth so they know they will get there money back at the end of the day when i go over my txt limit ..shame iv not got no one to give it to who only uses 500 mins to tlk 100 txt per mnth,then there get there money worth!
    asma have u used the fone or swithed it on,ifso u mite have problem sending it back
