Free Mobile Phone contract !

Carphone Warehouse are currently offering a 6 month contract (sim only) with Virgin. Amongst other offers, you can take 300 mins + 300 texts anytime, any network, for £20.00 per month.
At the end of 6 months you send in your 6th months bill and they send you a cheque for £120.00. Apart from the interest you could have made on the cash, it's free.
You may have to pay for an extra month if you cannot cancel at 5 months (you normally need to give 28 days notice).


Banks are businesses not charities. Claim your charges back.

    What's the catch here I wonder? I mean, if one does cancel, how do they make any money from this deal???

  • I suppose they hope that the apathy that is so British sets in and you don't cancel the contract.
    A friend saw this and said he knows people who have used this deal and it worked.

    Someone should put a 100 foot high banner on the front of Parliament house to advertise it.

    CPW have done this several times before, and their subsidiaries e2save and ThePhoneSpot did as well (though made a right pig's ear of the multi-stage claim process; Martin plugged the deal and I had to get onto him to give them grief when they started rejecting cashback claims).
    The thanks button is here to the right. If you find a post saves you money, gives you useful information, or you agree with it, take a second to thank the poster! :)
