    I'm no expert but the offers are not that good at the moment.
    I got a K500i with 120+120 on oranges with accessories and headset, car charger and case 12 month contract 12month free line rental. Nothing like that now.

    Perhaps they are gearing up for Xmas / Waiting for term to start.

    One point do you know about the potential health risks with long term exposure to microwave radiation. Would advise a BT headset or unit with built in handsfree!

    I assume you have seen this thread?


    To summarise CPW have this offer

    "
    There is a better deal at carphone warehouse...http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/commerce/servlet/gben-pd-ProductDisplay?PN=NETWORKS.AUG66309MFLR&origin=SPECIALOFFER

    Its 9 months free line rental on a 12 month contract, with 500 mins anytime and 100 texts a month. The last 3 months are £30 a month....
    so 3 months x £30 = £90 (£90 is all your going to have to pay for this contract) £90 divided by the whole 12 months is....£7.50. Which means you have to pay £7.50 average each month.

    I know ... my maths is good...

    "
    Also go via quidco

    From the same thread... "You have to use the cashback site www.quidco.com which pays you £22 (though mine is coming up as £25?) if you successfully stay with the contract. You simply register on quidco and then use their links to go to the carphonewarehouse webpage when you make the purchase.

    Should note that you must have £25 in your quidco account before you can withdraw money, and they also take a £5 annual admin fee from your account. But still gives the best cashback rates on the net!"


    Tried to purchase and the last 3 months are showing as £15 not £30 which makes it cheap only one colour in stock.

    I'd recommend the 12month contract on 3.

    Not sure if these are out of stock, but the web site shows new prices for and stock in one colour....
