Tesco Daily Deal Tesco Mobile LG KG290 £19.98, free £10 top up & £6 Cashback - Quidco

Hey_Dude

Dudes,

The Tesco Deal of the day is the mobile phone here.

Comes with free delivery.

Comes with £10 free top-up

Pretty good review on cnet here when it was priced at £60 - only real negative is battery life time for chatterboxes.

Quidco have £6 cashback for Tesco PAYG here.

Looks good to me - nice phone for £14 - and if you take off the top-up, it's £4.

This is an excellent spot by OP, and I don't want to put a downer on it, but wanted to warn people that Tesco PAYG doesn't seem to be tracking on any Cashback sites.

Hiya, It's not tracking on CashBack Kings either.

I bought this and it's fine as a phone except that when the slide function works it emits a now annoying X-Files type sound (opening and closing).

Is there a way of switching this off without the whole phone being "silent"? I think I have searched though the menus and teh user guide but to no avail.

Have I missed something?

Does anyone know about getting top upsplease. The only Tesco anywhere near me is a Tesco express. Can you get top ups from there?

I bought this phone for my dd a few wks back in store for £23, with no top up, and it does not come with a memory card, the phone itself is ok.

But I want to unlock it, so i can put a virgin sim card in it, if anyone knows where or how this can be done please pm me Thanks.
