As a new DFW I have been looking for better mobile phone deals and have come across new contracts where for £30 per month as well as my free minutes and texts you can also get a free laptop.
I do need a new laptop as mine has a broken screen but this isn't an essential. The phone deals are all less than I am paying at the moment so apart form the obvious of I would have to change my number? and get a new phone/contract am I missing something with this?
I would be saving money - probably £20 a month or so and I get a free laptop?
Help I am confused

Bump. I don't keep up with phone deals myself, sorry, I have a payg and only pay about £60 a year, but I'd advise you to check the terms and conditions really, really carefully, and look at Martin's phone articles from the tab at the top of this page.
Good luck.2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
I noticed the one for £30 is out of stock at the mo but you can backorder. On checkout they do try & bump things up by adding laptop ins & phone ins, which you can take off & there is a £14.99 delivery charge for the laptop.
Looked at t & c's couldn't see how long the contract needed to run?
Not very good at this sort of thing myself!
I don't spend much on my phone, but this may be a good deal?Comping again - wins so far : 2 V festival tix, 2 NFL tix, 6 bottles of wine, personalised hand soap, Aussie miracle conditioner :beer:

Hi...If this is the offer from Carphone Warehouse that's on TV alot...here's the catch:
You have to join up to AOL which is a minimum 24 month contract.;)I am not a complete idiot - some parts are missing;)0 -
i got mine the same as ia's ... went through dialaphone which gave us a free wii (except they ran out so they gave us £180 cash instead
) and also got £60 cashback I think from quidco and will get £60 cashback when we send in phone bills each quarter :beer: ... all for £30 a month. the contract was 18 months instead of usual 12 but that didnt bother me. Mortgage Total: £50,772/ £75,000
Mortgage Overpayments Pot £16800 -
