Cracking Mobile Phone Deal
Saw this over on the money saving expert website
Quote:
Have seen this in quite a few newsgroups and just gone for it myself :
It seems possible to get a Nokia 3510i for free(ish)
It`s also possible to give £18 charity for free by doing this too (hopefully this doesn`t violate the rules of this forum):
easier method now via www.birminghamcarers.org.uk/shop (down bottom of page you shall find the mobile phones section) click on the link there and it takes you to the CPW homepage.
Birmingham Carers is a registered charity under registration number 1086827
- you also get 2,000 free texts to use in the first six months.

Go to Carphone Warehouse`s front page and you will see an offer with a
FREE Nokia 3510i on Orange YP120 with a £225 automatic cashback after 4
months.
Amazingly, they also give a £20 trade-in for this deal.
The talk on many groups is about downgrading contract after the cheque is paid on the 4th month (to one that`s £15/month eg).
As mentioned there`s £20 cashback available for your old stuff (£10 phone, £5 charger, £5 manual)

the lowest seems to be 30 mins per month as you are tied to a contract. (12
months) this is £15 per month. (IE downgrade to PAYG not allowed for the
first 12 months)
So 4 x £25 + 8 x £15 = £220 so without a trade in you have.
A phone + £5 + 720 mins of calls + 2000 text (if used in the first 6
months, personally I would say use `em before downgrade).
RE: Cracking Mobile Phone Deal
Nice spot raeble. Though I usually stay away from contract offers. :)
Sounds like a great deal, but what do you get for your £15/month after first four months.
If you get no air time or text allowance does the deal look so great. :/
A bit more investigation required before jumping in on this one, though I suspect it would still be pretty good.
Direct link to the deal.

RE: Cracking Mobile Phone Deal
Just taken up this offer. Does appear at 1st glance too good to be true, but cannot find a catch. Needed a new mobile, as the one I`ve got the batteries knackered and contract runs out Feb, so offer seemed ideal. Free mobile, no contract charge for a year + £20 cashback for old mobile and £18 goes to charity, and all I have to do is to remember to downgrade contract after 4 months 8). Great spot Westy, much obliged :) . Merry Christmas everybody, and hopefully there be loads more bargains to be had in the New Year :D ;) .

RE: Cracking Mobile Phone Deal
I`m a bit concerned about this deal.
I ordered on the 24th by phone, and was assured that my order would qualify for the refund.
The phone arrived today, the invoice shows a transaction date of 28/12/03, and there is no paperwork giving details of the offer or how to claim the refund.
Have other people had written details of the scheme ?
