Samsung Galaxy Ace on talkmobile, 50 mins + 150 Texts + 250MB data £9.99 per month (24 month contract) @ Mobiles.co.uk £239.76
REDEMTION deal so may not suit folk who can't be bothered claiming at specific intervals.
Over the past three years I've had three redemption deals with mobiles.co.uk and not a single problem with cashback claims. Like best the opportunity to e-mail claims as opposed to having to post them, special delivery costs and all that. But this is my experience.
Here is the deal with this phone.
24 months at £9.99pm = £239.76 - this is what you have to pay
Line rental: 18 months at £0.99 + 6 months at £9.99 = £77.76 total cost after redemption, this equates to £3.24 pm
Potential cashback from Quidco: £80 - THIS IS WRONG. NOW CONFIRMED AS £30
So the effective cost, after Quidco and redemption, may turn out to be £47.76, which is £1.99 per month for the duration of the two-year contract.
Not planning to use the SIMs at all(does not offer very much anyway), phone supposed to be unlock so will just put in my currents SIms
Placed two orders for the kids.
Comes with Froyo but apparently easy to upgrade to Gingerbread,
Here is some stuff about claiming cashback copied from my order:
Your line rental discount
Your offer = 18 Months £0.99 by redemption. What appears on your bill = £9.99.
How do you claim the discounted line rental?
Send your 6th, 9th, 12th, 15th and 18th monthly bills within 60 days of the date stated on the relevant airtime bills to us and we will credit you by cheque with £32.40.
This will save you £162.00 over the 24 month duration of the contract. In effect this means that your average line rental per month over the contract period is £3.24 per month.

Jump to unread Post a CommentBut then there is also £80 quidco available?
I was interested in the note, but this is a lot cheaper if that is how it works.
9.99 X 24 = 239.76 - 80 (quidco) = 159.76 - 50 = 109.76
So total over 2 years: £109.76 or £4.57 each month.
Completely guaranteed, no need to send CB form in.
"Contracts where you receive cash either automatic or by redemption are not classified as a free gift."
Any idea what this means?
I also had the £30 cashback from quidco (received it 3 months after taking out the contract).
As long as you can count and be bothered to send the cashback claims off, this is a great way of having a contract for virtually nothing, as soon as my 12 months is finished, I will be taking out another contract through them.
Thanks for posting OP, this deal should be HOT.......
Talkmobile 'piggy back' the Vodafone network...
MODs - please unexpire. I have also amended the potential cashback from Quidco. Thanks.
