Talkworld online just sent me an email for a one day offer, I'm not really too clued up on phones so I don't know if its great but it certainly seems to be good value given that it is free.

Its a Sony Ericson K300i on 12 month contract with Orange, I have no more details as I have been unable to access the URL, perhaps the server has been overwhelmed?

Offer ends at 6pm tomorrow (Thursday 25th August)

    The website seems to be working now.

    Details:
    Includes phone, charger, battery and free delivery

    Tarrif:
    OVP T-Mobile Relax 200 (200 x-net mins/month, £32 month)
    1/2 price rental for first 3 months
    200 free texts/month for first 3 months
    30 free photo msgs for 1st month

    Cashback:
    12 month contract, user free to change to lower tarriff after 6 months.
    Cashback to be redeemed in 3 equal payments (£80) at 6,9 and 12 months.
    Total Cashback amount equal to (3 x £16) + (3 x £32) + (6 x £16*) = £240

    * or whatever OVP T-Mobile Relax 50 is then charged at


    This is the first offer I have seen where the cashback is actively encouraging downgrading the tariff after the minimum period is completed.

    Does anyone know anything about unlocking these phones?
