About this deal
This deal is expired. Here are some options that might interest you:
Appreciate Sony phones aren't for everyone but people moan how they are so expensive compared to anything else but this is a way to get them cheaper IMO atm?
I've selected the cheapest tariff, 3gb, and done over 3 months by using customised plan.
upfront cost £1160
3 months device plan with 3 months airtime plan at 3gb, works out at £13.34 phone plan with £10.00 airtime which you can cancel after 3 months I believe.
I have then traded in a phone with O2 recycle worth MORE than £0. This then unlocks an extra £300 trade in.
You then receive the TV as part of the deal which is going for circa £500 atm.
You can then I think cancel the airtime and pay off the device after 3 months.
Taking all costs into account the total outlay is £1230.02 but then you get £300 back and potential cash from TV sale or a free TV! Takes the device cost to around £500ish if you manage to sell everything and get the cashback.
There is also quidco to consider.
Appreciate outlay for this is high, but there are multiple combinations you could do, depending on whether you want to keep the contract, extend it out, or cancel within a short time frame. Additionally, you don't have to pay all up front for the device as I have done and can play around with that too.

sorted byI'm not convinced you have to keep contract going for any length of time (if you don't want to) - TV offer doesn't state line has to be kept active for a minimum amount of time?

If you are just after the phone, I think £300ish is a more realistic cash value of the TV, but still a good deal at around £650ish.
Worth pointing out that it will involve a credit check (see previous postings of similar deals for comments on this lol) but not a deal-breaker for me personally. (edited)
As for the contract, as I get O2 open and o2 is the only company that gives good signal where I am I'd use it anyway. And that was 50GB for £12 a month which I'm ok with.
Unless someone can get through to customercare or support at xperiarewards co uk there is literally no way to find out what's going on with any IMEI validation
I did email them last week and had a reply the same day.
