I want to buy this phone, but want it delivered to another address, is this possible (like with CPW), and if so how do I do it ?

I think it is possible as you can change your delivery address when going through the checkout, or you can have it delivered to a work address, which I think can be any address you want it to be delivered to, not necessarily work.

I think thats how it is anyways

Hope this helps.

if you like dialaphone for cashback etc then just order the deal on dialaphone website and after ordering call them to for a price match. that should be no problem based on prior experience.

Doesn't work .

I go to checkout and I can change it only to a works address, and to do so they need me to fax them with work letterhead.

Oh well.

I ordered and was accepted but it now says status: awaiting stock so I suspect I won't actually get it?

I've recieved the same "awaiting stock" mail
I've been billed my penny and noticed that I've already got the already got the refferer fee over on quidco

Hopefully it will still arrive - if not I my get it on the slight more expensive contact. I'm looking forward to getting TOM TOM mobile5 on it

Yep, I got the awaiting stock mail as well.

Doubt I'll be getting it now.

Hi..
I ordered 2 of these with a previous offer and am well chuffed so far so I do hope you get them.
If you are looking to buy a larger memory stick, I can really recommend https://www.picstop.co.uk
They are the cheapest I found - I ordered 2 x 256 MB for a total of £27.48 inc P&P.
ordered 10 pm on Thursday, was signing for them 10.am Saturday.
The 512 MB are still quite expensive - £30 so I reckon the 256 offer better value.
(No connection to picstop BTW, just pleased with a bargain!)

Hi there,

You can get this Nokia 6630 (Clearance) on 3, 12 month contract for free for the whole year. You even get paid £2.62 to have it

The phone is from e2save here:

Nokia 6630 (Clearance)

Which as it stands will cost you £1.99 per month, which is £23.88 for the whole year (£1.99 x 12 = £23.88).

Now if you buy this phone through Quidco (a cashback website) they will give you £26.50 in cashback. This cashback is more than the cost of the entire contract leaving you with £2.62 in profit (£26.50 - £23.88 = £2.62)

It sounds and looks like an amazing deal. :T

This is a similar deal I got with Cpw a few weeks ago.Same phone with £315 cashback and £25 fromQuidco.I am a little concerned whether the £25 will be paid as in the Cpw small print it does say cannot be used with an other offer.
Well see.
Also when we are asked to send our 4th bill etc.Can this be faxed.
The confusion would be if it was sent recorded delivery and they did sign for it,could they then say they didn't receive your bill?
I wonder if there is a phone number for the cashback section if there were problems.
Finally how do they make their money on these deals.I guess they think people will mess up and forget to send in their bills.They probably think you will take other services from them.Or they are just happy you aren't using another company.
If all goes to plan,'3' will be earning around £45 for this deal out of me less money they have to fork out for Quidco,vat,tax etc.Let's hope they don't bankrupt themselves on the way.

isayoldchap ur right they cant keep up these deals forever cos the networks are starting put foots down (orange first.....as innovative as usual lol), if 10 mins of staff time per customer is £50 commission after cashback's etc then retailers will do it until the networks say NO, £300 an hour income per 6 customers minus the staff top rate of prob £10 thats £290 profit per staff member/customers per hour, we r all in the wrong game
the networks are all losing money on the average customer who knows how to make it work for themselves not them

o2 i-mode tariff gives x net 1000 mins for £35...

example breakdown: 1000 times 10p is £100 worth of calls

if you take into consideration roughly the cost to o2 of paying Voda/Orange etc for access to thier network then there is £100 a month paid out for your 1000 mins over 12 months, then retailer commission say £400

and then you maybe go over your free mins and have a £40 a month bill thats £480 a year income

£1600.00 - £480.00 =

loss of £1120 which they hope your incoming calls will cover from charging the other networks for access to o2 (most my calls are out as I call people back off my loadsa-mins=big [email="loss@o2"]loss@o2[/email]), now thats before running costs thats just to break even!!...never mind the top of the range latest handset that o2/voda etc cost £300 you got for nowt, and yer free bluetooth headset ya MSE haggling buggers

it is not sustainable for the future, less and less people are payg as it can be so expensive, my 750 free x net mins for £20 on o2 contract would cost me (@ 25p on o2) £187.50 and thats who is subsidising contract phones and calls..payg users spending £20 or stupidly enough £187.50

Q.ask yourself why online self service is not avalible on a contract sim tied to your account you could hand your kids/friend with bad credit who cant go contract and you have complete control over?

A.you have no control of the account to put a bar on when they reach thier individual allowance of mins or £'s by setting a credit limit for thier handset, they (o2 etc..) can bar your calls when you reach your individual credit limit, the system is in place but full control denied to you, so what do you do?

A2. Buy them a payg mobile at extortionate rates, oooh who wins there then you or the network??

less and less are payg now and that trend will continue, the contract/payg market will
saturate at one point then we will all be buggered cos the networks will change your costs under the T&C


use these deals while you can, things will get tougher later....cashbacks, inclusive mins, ie....the lot !! but we can thank 3 for shaking up a bad market but how bad does it get in the future compared to the past?

Time will tell............

mobile companies rant over
