Well after sum1 called phones4u posted their 1st post yesterday announcing that phones4u are doing a one day deal on Vodafone with the phone free on a £65 month contract I immediately called my my local phones4u store and they said thats it is free on £65 month and 3 months line rental would be half price effectivly making it £37 including a compulsary text bundle of 100 texts for three months and then i could change my tariff to a lower one, but the geeks said they have no stock left!

I then proceeded to call all of my nearest stores and finally found one in Watford which is around 30 odd miles away!
I told the rep to hold onto it for me and that I would pick it up l8r in the evening!

I left work all excited about my new P800 so at 5pm after work i drove down to Watford. They did all their checks etc but I was declined
The reason - I have another connection with singlepoint on 02 and cant have two connections even though my o2 contract runs out in August

So i walked away all depressed and well pissed with em!
But then an idea clicked and i called my wife to drive down to Watford and thought i would take the contract on her name

She did and I got the P800 ! and i made the manager write on the bill that i can change to a lower tariff in 3 months and also told him that phones4u have a shit reputation all over so thats why i am making him write this !

So I finally got it and I think i just picked up one of the cheapest P800's around !

3x37=£111
9x15=£135
TOTAL= £246 bloody pounds

So whoever you were who posted as phones4u cheeeeeers MATE !!!!!

Usually - there are contracs that 'give a discount or free period' for 6 or 12 months - but this free period gets added onto your cotract-so they get their money back This message was posted from a T68i

Alright Anuj, got the numbers mixed up there. At least 12mths are better than the 24mth contracts that we have in Singapore.

Yep - eg: some uk nets offer 6 months free line rental - in the terms u sign up for an 18 month contract - 12+6=18 mr whatever combo they choose-just check b4 u sign! Its not always the case-u just get good deals from time to time:-D This message was posted from a T68i

I think I got quite a good deal - £50 on the day, and a £50 tariff for 3 months (higher than I usually pay). I'd normally be paying £25 for my standard tariff, so that works out as 50 + (3 x 25) = £125 for the phone but includes all the extra minutes / texts associated with a more expensive tariff! He he he!

And I had 2 contracts going at once on Orange, my girlfriend's mum has 3 on different networks - it's a bit off not to let you sign a new contract based on having one already!
