Moving from Carphone Warehouse - new contract

EagerLearner

Hi all,

My contract with E2Save/Carphone Warehouse has now finished and I am in my final 30 days.

I'm really keen to get the iPhone and my employer will pay the monthly bills for me.

Best deal I have seen is £169.99 with O2 - can I just buy online? I have also seen that Quidco offer cashback.

Any help much appreciated to get the best deal.

Then just need to get PAC code from Carphone Warehouse / E2Save.

Thanks :T

    That is the only deal on the iPhone - you can't get it at a different price!

    If you are gonna order do it quickly, Carphone have already sold out!!!
    Wondering how to have a life & not rack up more debts...

    Actually, Apple are selling it at £269 still.

    They're still selling it online...

    Okay, sorry didn't bother mentioning Apple direct coz it's more expensive!!

    CPW will probably email after ordering to say that its out of stock. Apparently they aren't expecting any more stock any time soon (as per affilate email!).

    Hi all and thanks - I am thinking of getting it direct from O2 anyway rather than CPW - should be ok @ £169?

    Yup - but note the Quidco £100 cashback has expired (although should still get £36.50 or whatever, AFAIK).

    Hi all - I had a look at phones over the weekend and am now less convinced by the iPhone, will prob go for the N95 (Nokia).

    I was going to go for the Blackberry Pearl but as most days will be in front of my pc the ultra-email-features would prob be wasted on me. Would prefer a phone with better screen size and music etc. Then occasionally presss 'send and receive' for the e-mails on weekends or business trips.

    On this basis hoping to get the black N95 8gb for free and looking forward to it... unless anyone has any info as to why I shouldn't!
