Page 1 of 3 6630 £3.99/month on 12 month contract 500mins/100sms WSL

Got this deal back in May. Cracking deal. Is back now, for how long who knows, I doubt it will be available after the weekend. Phone is reconditioned but brand new, shrink wrapped, no box but I got RSMMC+charger+manual+data cable, in other words, all accessories.

3 months@£15 from 3(half price), £130.05 cheque from CPW after 1 month, then send 4th and 8th airtime bills off and get £68.54 back, total cashback £312.12. £48 over 12 months, or £33 if you go via linemypocket website who are giving £15 on all CPW contracts.

nice spot ! what is the phone like ? it seems quite bulky to me. can I commute my old 3 number over to it ? cheers and thanks

Little Davel Phone isn`t that big, quite small actually. Great phone too!

Sorry for the crap shotbut I took a quick picture to give you an idea.

Even cheaper at E2save (owned by CarPhoneWarehouse) -see Good Phone Deals? thread - at equivalent of £1.99 per month.

The phone is slightly bulky but well worth it for the camera quality+the fact its symbian phone so can add lots of programs and also has replaceable fascias

The E2save deal looks even better although the difference is that you have to send 3 bills of at months 4 8 and 12 to get the cashback, CPW is all sorted by 8th month so no waiting around at end of contract. I guess if you went for the E2save deal you could in theory cancel the contract at the 12th month and send off the bill to get the cashbcack, I never like the thought of that as think it might affect the cashback otherwise you would be paying full line rental while waiting for the 12th month casdhback to arrive, but it can be done.

www.linemypocket.co.uk are giving £15 back on all Carphone warehouse and e2save connections via their website (and is proper cashback none of this rpoints points redemption rubbish) so at e2save the deal could be reduced to a crazy £9 for a whole year! or £33 at CPW.

You can also downgrade your Tariff after 6 months to a £20 one meaning that you save another £60.

With the cashback at 12 months - surely the money comes via e2save and not 3. So will e2save not issue the cashback cheque if you have cancelled your 3 contract before the 12th bill arrives ?

Does e2save give you details of when and how to apply for cashback ? Or is this your own initiative (and they sort of hope you forget) ? Also can someone tell me, since my current contract now expires on 27 oct and the new phone will arrive next week..... at what point will the new contract be in force - point of purchase or when I connect to 3 with the new phone on 27 Oct ? cheers

Yes money is Via e2 save, need to get 12 month bill first before sending off. First bill is usually within 2 weeks and then every month afterwards.

Yes See http://www.e2save.com/mobile/phones/disphandset.php?network=three&handset=6630CL

click on the green tab which says "12 months at £1.99 line rental" for info:

12 Months £1.99 Line Rental on Talk & Text 600

Your first 3 months will be billed at £15.00* by 3. 3 will then bill you at £30.00 per month for the remainder of your contract.

A further credit of £120.00 will be raised by cheque after 1 month if you do not cancel your contract. This may take up to 60 days to be received by cheque. You will receive a text message and/or e-mail when this credit has been successfully raised

To gain the remainder of your line rental / cash back please send your 4th, 8th and 12th monthly bills within 28 days of receipt to us and we will credit you by cheque with £57.04 each time.

This will save you £336.12 over the 12 month duration of the contract. In effect this means that your average line rental per month over the contract period is £1.99 per month.

*Line rental charge excludes any part month amount that may be billed in addition by the network.

billing/contract starts from date you connect with 3.

I have a mobi from e2save, and highly recommend them.

With the phone you get full details of how to get your cashback along with pre-printed coupons you fill in.

Also, if you click on the deal you want on their website, it tells you how you get your cashback and when to send your bills in.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for this ! I wonder about the contract start because on other forums someone says it starts at point of despatch.....phones4u shop say when you connect.....interesting !
