Sony Ericsson phone at carphone warehouse for £12.95 inc £10 credit.

CGG

I just tried to speak to CS at TalkTalk on their 0800 no.
Chap from Carphone Warehouse answered, he said they have a brand new promotion going out today of Sony Ericsson J110i phones with £10 airtime credit, for £10.00. He said it was a max of 2 per customer. They want the payment there and then and they would be sent out today, for delivery tomorrow.
I asked if there was any catch, he stated none at all. They're on the Virgin network, PAYG. He convinced me to have the two, and insisted there were no other hidden charges, ie delivery.

It's cheap and nasty - but it's a phone and it works! What else can you expect for the price?

Free next day delivery? I ordered this a week ago and it still hasn't arrived.

Two phones received this morning.
Can confirm I have only been charged for the £10 airtime on each.

Might wait until end of week - just in case they mean 'working days' or something! Bleedin' annoying though and why isn't it a freephone number when it's their c*ckup?

Edit - saynoto08700.com suggests 0800 0491008 as an alternate freephone number for the number above (Friday afternoon job I think)
