    Hi IA, looking to pick your brains.

    Have just signed up for a new mobile thru e2save, and i knew you have been with them lately.

    Wondered how you have gotten on with it all? Heard some scary stories about them when i searched on here!

    I have signed up for a contract which is equal to my existing one price-wise with more text n minutes (altho TBH i don't need them!) free laptop (yay me!!) and £30 automatic cashback, plus £36.50 thru quidco......

    All seems to good to be true, so we'll see.

    The thing is i would like to keep my number, but don't know if this is automatically happenning yet... will know more when phone arrives.

    So in short...........

    Did you get all your cashback? Quidco and E2save? Did you have to jump thru hoops to get it?
    Did you get laptop or wii or whatever? is laptop any good? bearing in mind i'm a simple soul IT wise!!
    Did you keep your number?

    Any help appreciated!
    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....
    (it's part of my charm!)

    I had no problems with e2save at all... cashback through quidco paid very quickly and had the laptop within a month. Can't fault them at all. :)

    Thats great news. I know what you mean about voluntary work, weird how that works that you feel more self accomplishment when no ones paying you for doing it.

    How long till you are qualified? i didnt realise until i read your thread that you can get a qualification for being an advisor. good stuff, more rewarding then.

    I must confess before i went through all of this and needed the CAB i never had much thought about them, i wasnt repectfull in my mind as to what a great job and service is on offer, i think i used to feel it was only for drop outs etc.

    i can proudly say now that my opinion has changed a 1000% and i couldnt have started looking forward without there help.

    Well done for joining them and i'm glad your enjoying it.
