600 mins unlimited text
1 bolt on
free itemised billing
No phone
£35 per month with £540 cash back which works out at £5 per month. Enough cashback to get a good phone from ebay!
or was offered the C905
400 mins
unlimited text
1 bolt on
18 month contract for £30 with £150 cashback which works out at £21 per month0 -
I emailed them asking for the address to give my notice to cancel (no one answered the phones). Got a reply the next morning saying no need to write they'll use my email as the 30 days notice. Got a text a few days later with the cancelation date
A lot easier than i expected, its usually a battle to cancel these things. I've not even had a call from the retention teams either (6 days till end) they must think im a lost cause i usually manage to get the bill to around £6 a month.0 -

I was on the £35pm tariff with 600 mins and 1000 texts, but had this for £30 for the first nine months I think (back when I was an amateur at negotiating an upgrade deal!) - originally had a SE k800i but this broke and after much complaining over the amount of time it took them to sort it out, had a SE k810i0 -

Think i just got bored of waiting!! And at the moment i am paying £35/month for the phone and £20/month for broadband, so to get the broadband for free its kinda like getting the phone contract for £15....well, thats the way it works in my head0

Like it, you're tempting me to do the same...:A Luke 6:38 :AThe above post is either from personal experience or is my opinion based on the person God has made me and the way I understand things.
