Page 1 of Cracking Mobile Phone Deal

Saw this over on the money saving expert website

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).

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.

Westy would like to Wish Everyone who visits Reviewer a very Merry Christmas and a Great New Year for 2004

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 ;) .

Sorry Raeble, meant to thank you for the great spot :) :D 8)

Thanks for that.. bought on the 24th! Should be with me next week. Let us know when the rest of you get yours.

got mine xmas eve, one phone was connected in 2 hours the other 26! still OK to give to missus on xmas day but i had to get up early to prod (n)orange!

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 ?

Haven`t recieved anything in writing about this deal either.
