£1.99 LINE RENTAL FOR 12 MONTHS!
"For the first 12 months of your contract line rental is an amazing £1.99 per month! (Thereafter £30 per month). That's a saving of £336.12!
Your reduced line rental is available as cashback by redemption to your airtime account in 4 stages: £45 at month 3, £60 at month 6, £60 at month 9 and £171.12 at month 12
As an added bonus for ordering online from the Dial-a-Phone website you will receive an additional £10 CASH paid into your bank account 28 days after staying connected to your mobile package." From Dial A Phone Website
Also £14 cashback on pay monthly phones from LineMyPocket
Line My Pocket
So in effect £1.99 x 12 = £23.88 - Online Order Cashback £10.00 - Line My Pocket Cashback £14.00 = Profit of £0.12
Possible Concerns:
1) Quality of Siemens SF65
2) Cashback by redemption to your airtime account £171.12 at month 12, to seems a rather large amount claim in month 12
Advice/opinions would be much appreciated.

AS it is cashback to airtime account , this in my experience means that effectively you will have to run the phone until that money has beenused up, which on a £30 per month tarriff would mean aprox 6 extra months. Also as Dialaphone don't apply the money to your account till approx 45 days after you claim it, this means it wouldn't appear on your account till month 14 adding an extra month onto the time you need to run your phone, meaning you are stuck with it for 19 months at a cost of approx
(19*30) - £336- £10 - £14 = £210
If you do manage to someohw get 02 to give you any outstanding money back to you that is on your account as I have said before you will at least have to wait until the money has been recieved in from dialaphone so then assuming you stay on the same tarriff it will be (14*30) - £336- £10-£14 = £60.
You can however save a bit monre money using this second option by downgrading to their cheapest tarriff which is i think £16 after 12 months . This would cost you £32 BUT this is on the basis that you can have any outstanding money on your account refunded to you which I doubt any phone provider will do!
Hope that helpsMark Hughes' blue and white army0
