Advice required - NOKIA 1100 + £10 Voucher - VIRGIN - Is this a freebie?

Drantley_Gicks

I would like appreciate a double check on this offer from the virgin website:

• Handset Price FREE
• Your Gift 12 Months Free Line Rental
• Network Virgin Mobile
• Tariff Virgin Mobile 100
• Line Rental £24.00 per month
• Additional Gift £10 Voucher For Online Purchases


So if I am reading this right I get 100mins anytime for free each month, I won't have to pay any line rental (or is it a cashback type deal at some point in the contract) and would I get a £10 voucher to buy the phone I really want!!

It sounds too good to be true. Is it possible for someone to check this out for me?

Many thanks for your help and I'm ready to be corrected.

I would guess it's a cashback deal if it's through onestopphoneshop

better deal at cpw, only in store till the end of the month:

nokia 1100 = free
virgin 100 (12 month contract)
line rental = £1.99 (after chequeback's, £24 before C.B.)
12x£1.99 = £23.88
minus £50 trade-in = -£26.12 (this is for any old phone/charger/manual)

of corse this only works if you want to buy something from cpw to the value of £50 to use up your trade-in amount but remember they sell ipod shuffle's, home phones, psp's and lots of other bits and bobs!

hope its of some use!

onestop are a shocking company. Never reply to emails, faxes and can never get through on phone.
The deal I got came with a free charger - which I can't have 'cos there isn't one available yet, my £10 high street voucher hasn't turned up, and neither has my £10 for buying online and can I hell get them to reply.
To say they are part of CPW, the service is dire and I would never use them again.

Many thanks for the replies.

I think I may avoid this company, it just seems a shame that Virgin are only providing contract phones through OSP

They have probably just sold them the VIRGIN brand.

Oh well back to looking for reconditioned phones then.

Don't get me wrong, have also used CPW and they have been fine both over the web and in-store. Just OSPS are dreadful.

Chuffy apologies,

I was refering to OSPS, I have since edited my earlier message.
