orange offer w800i

Hi does anyone know if you can use the mobile overide trick on this offer click here! where you get free w/e mins for 6 months. Are there any better deals on orange where i can get the phone cheaper. I dont use my phone much and think it might be better to take the 1/2 price line rntal from orange - with them I would only pay £25 and the phone is £50.

Thanx in advance for any help!
It's better to travel hopefully than arrive...

    Yes you can use the mobile override trick on those plans.

    The current cheapest way to get the phone is to use the half price line rental option, and after 6 months downgrade to the cheapest tarriff (Voda business £14 or OVP O2 25 which is £16). That makes line rental total for a year £75 + 84 = 159. + Phone (£49.99) = £208.99.

    Don't forget if you buy online you can get £11 cashback through linemypocket. Making the phone under £200!:j

    I also understand that if you buy the phone at an Orange shop they will give you up to £50 cashback if you give them your old handset, and if you know someone else on orange you can get £25 if you say the referred you. I'm not 100% sure about these store offers as I've never used them!:confused:

    Also worth pointing out that Orange deals seem to be changing all the time for the w800i so keep a look out. The carphonewarehouse had it free on all their plans over the weekend (inlcuding YourPlan 60), but are now charging for the phone on most tarriffs.
