  • Have been searching for days for a mobile phone contract to replace the pay and go system I currently use and found a cracker of a deal and YES it costs nothing. You can get either a Nokia 6060 or 6030 on o2 with 200 anytime any network minutes and 100 texts (double texts and minutes for the first 3 months) You just have to remember to claim back the monthly rental costs on the specified dates (use the tart alert to remind you when to claim - http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/cgi-bin/viewnews.cgi?newsid1100005324,69788,)

    Here are the links:

  • still hunting for feedback. will they still be around in the next 12 months
  • I got a deal from mobileshop just over 6 months ago with a nokia 3120 and they have told me they are sending my cheque out in a few days times. I made sure I sent the claim by recorded delivery so they seem ok to me.


    Hope this helps someone!
  • Thanks Martin, great advice to negotiate with Vodafone before switching. Spent a staggering £2503! last year. Yes that's right..crazy! as was always going over my free minutes and getting wacked. Shopping around the for best deal (Orange 600mins £32.50 or 900mins £46.67) Was able to get 500mins, 100txt and International Call Saver, (Aust 24p vs 99p) and new phone for £32.50 per month (inc vat) and no switching hassle or cashback palava This is Vodafone's 3G tariff but they did agree to give it to me as an existing customer.
  • At easyMobile.com we now offer a free Text4Balance service and send balance reminders via Text and emails when the balance reaches £8 £4 and £0. We will be introducing MMS and GPRS within the next few weeks.

  • I've just seen a deal with O2 at mobileshop for a contract with 200 anytime mins and 100 texts free per month(doubled for first 3 months), free insurance for 3 months, free line rental for 12 months and with cashback at certain months. The handset isn't much kop but its only 99p per month. Does this sound like it could be a real deal?

    I have had this deal for two months now and it is fine. Mobileshop are a reputable company.

  • Hi All,

    We got a FAB deal through MSE last year - was "3" 600 package via carphone warehouse @ £2.99/month. We've been looking for a similar deal through a reputable company (having seen the BBC Watchdog show on unscrupulous comapanies), & can't find anything similar that we'd go for unless proven!!. Can Martin or anyone else help, as we're buying a new home & any cheap mobile deal like the one we're on would be helpful!!
    Thanks
    Amanda
