Need Help - Need The Cheapest Way To Get A Sony Ericsson W960i On O2.
I'm looking for a new phone, and have settled on the Sony Ericsson W960i.
If I buy the phone direct from O2 it's £440 (!) and my current PAYG credit gets me a MASSIVE £4 discount (Woo!), so that's not really worth it.
On eBay they sell for between £190 - £220, which is a better option, but still bloody expensive (for a cheapskate like me, at least).
I use O2 and send around 500 texts a month, and make probably around 2-3 hours of calls - 99% of these are to one single number on O2 (dontcha just love girlfriends!) and atm i'm on the O2 tariff thingy where you pay £5 a month and get 1000 minutes/texts to 10 O2 numbers on PAYG.
Whats the best way to get this phone cheap? I don't mind going on contract (although i would rather not) or using cashback schemes (NOT QuidCo) - I am more than happy with my PAYG deal (which is top up £10 a month, get 1000 minutes/texts to my GF & friends and then 300 other texts and £5 spare credit!) but would take a contract if it meant that the total cost of the phone and cost of texts / calls was cheaper than buying the phone and my current PAYG deal.
HALP!

Ok someone just PM'ed me a deal - 400 mins, 500 texts, £35 per month, but £30.63 with the cashback for 12 months, free phone (although reconditioned - but I can live with that) sounds quite good.
I can get the SAME tariff for 18 months for £30 per month, or £20 after cashback - sounds quite good to me!
Any other ideas?Nothing I say represents any past, present or future employer.0 -
