OSPS,are they that bad?

Quinny_2

I've just seen a deal through OSPS,on 3,which is a 12 month contract,Nokia 6680,as the N70 isn't available through them yet,on the talk and text 900,with 12 months half price line rental.

So am I correct in saying that it will work like this:

12 x 40 = £480,less 12 x 20 = £240.

So in effect the deal will only cost me £240 per year.

Now I've read of some horror stories with OSPS and their redemption scheme,on this site,but are they really that bad,and what is the criteria for claiming the cashback?

Does the deal seem ok,and is the 6680 as good as,or better than the 6630?

I have just requested my PAC code from Vodafone,so what happens next?

Questions questions..........

Don't be a victim. Do not buy anything from them unless you are prepared to lost the £240 you assume you will get above. Take a deal from someone else where you have a 90% chance of getting your cash instead of a 50% chance. Listen to all the posters here - we are not liars!

Try price matching at E2save as they are a more reliable company ( part of CarPhone Warehouse ) They price matched my 6680 on Video Talk and Text 700 to 12 months half price with no problems. Use the freephone no 0800 0496496 to contact them.

I've had no problems at all claiming my cashback.

Just seen a cracking offer on a K750i and must admit to being tempted. I want to transfer my PAYG sim card anyway so not interested in mins etc.

e-save are not showing the comparitive tariff (Orange) on their website so is it worth asking them to price match??

stay away from cashback schemes, they are just a lottery, if you get it your lucky, if you get the amount, your more then lucky

I have no experience of E2save but don't assume becuase someone is owned by CarPhone Warehouse they are OK - OSPS is also owned by CarPhone Warehouse!

I've used cashback schemes for my mobiles over the past few years and have always had the cashback no problem

me too...these cash back schemes now have been around for several years and i have had at least 3-4 contracts done this way...and in every instance it was paid promptly or with in their terms of 28 days.

has anyone actually not got their cashback as promised...?
