three deals?

tim_n

Having had no problems with three, I want to stay with them, but my original contract is about up now.

I got a nokia phone on a £15 a month (500/100) deal on a 12 month contract. Shortly after I saw the same phone go for £4.99 on the same contract for 12 months and then £1.99 refurb'd after that.

It was mightily annoying I can tell you!

Anyway, my cashback was served in one lump (so no fiddling) and now my contract is up for renewal, I want another 3 deal, same price and to try and keep my number!

Carphone warehouses http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/commerce/servlet/gben-pd-ProductDisplay?PN=NETWORKS.AUG66309MFLR&origin=SPECIALOFFER looks awful as a phone, but a good buy @ £7.50 a month

Anyone seen anything similar or better? I'm not fussed about the handset just the deal!

if you just want the minutes, i'd suggest you go for the motorola c975 from places like talkworldonline.co.uk as they're currently running a 12 months free line rental offer on that handset.

Obviously the handset is crap though, if you want something slightly better look for the LG8130+ models.

Alternatively, a little known company (link below) is offering the nokia 6630 with 12 months free line rental, no one seems to know how the company fares with cashback claims so it might be risky. The only off-putting thing I can see in their T&C's is that you only have a 14 day period to claim your cashback.

THere are also some very good deals in boots but the cashback comes as advantage card points rather than cash...

I bought a couple of LG8360's from https://www.e2save.com (http://www.e2save.com/mobile/phones/disphandset.php?network=three&handset=8360\) last week on 12 month Talk & Text 600 contracts. The deal was pricematched from https://www.onestopphoneshop.com, giving 9 months free, which works out at £7.50 per month. I bought from e2save, as I'd heard bad things about onestopphoneshop on the forums.

I think the phone is fantastic, and I'm really pleased with the offer. My phones worked out even cheaper (£6.25), as I "referred myself" to get the £30 referral bonus.

You can get cheaper deals, but the phones are pretty poor.

I don't understand how talkworld can offer a phone for £29.99 (or indeed £9.99) with 12 months free line rental on a 12 month contract... it seems insane!

Presumably I've got to jump through hoops on my contract for this, anyone with them?

ah well consider it purchased! :- )

bought two, one on Friday, one Monday. Rang them on Friday and phone 1 should have been dispatched same day. Rang today (tuesday) and apparently their payment systems are broken and my phone hasn't been activated. It hasn't even been dispatched yet.

grr. No idea about the 2nd yet. Apparently I'll get an email telling me if its been dispatched. I'll keep you posted.
