RE: Bargain Holidays??

I hate the hassle of booking holidays, i was on the phone to a travel agent the other day and I just said mmmm thats a bit too much for me and she reduced the price by 100 pounds. I wish I knew someone in the travel industry whom I could just book all my holidays with, so i dont always feel like i was being conned.

RE: Sky TV

Thanks, you would think that sky would want my money for a few months, I have all the equipment all sky would have to send me is a viewing card.

RE: orange and mobi`s

I purchased the K750i from OSPS on Vodafone at it was unlocked with no tampering by Vodafone.

Sky TV

Is there anyway I can get Sky TV for only a 6 months contract, I have all the equipment so I would only need a viewing card. I have contacted Sky and they say i must have a 12 month contract.

RE: Phone + £35 Credit for... £30

These phones are ok but nothing fancy. Great if you want a phone just for making calls and text messages. I was in Australia a few months ago and they were selling the Motorola C115 in a shop for 15 pounds and included in the price was a vodafone sim card with 12 pounds credit, a free hair dryer and a vodafone back pack. I promptly purchased 50 of them and sold then on Ebay for a tidy profit.

RE: any good 1GB Memory Stick Pro Duo deals out there?

are you going to use this on a K750i mobile or another type.

RE: any good 1GB Memory Stick Pro Duo deals out there?

Well I am going to Singapore on Friday, I will let you know if they are cheap there. I would recommend that you purchase one in the UK incase you have any problems with it. I would think some of the ones on Ebay will be from Hong kong and its likely that the warranty will be void in the UK.

RE: Orange PAYG Camera Phone £29.99

for only 29.99 it doesn`t matter if its crap. thats a good deal, I wonder how they can make these phones so cheaply.

RE: FRESH from CPW - No rental - 15p calls anytime any network, 5 p texts - Any good?

Yes this is a good deal, CPW also have a sim card for cheap international phone calls only 6p to Australia. Amazing that you can call Australia for cheaper than you can make a call in the UK.

RE: Sony Ericsson K750i

So would this phone be different to the one offered by OneStopPhoneShop. I am not educated enough to know what firmware is.

Sony Ericsson K750i

There`s a great new Sony Ericsson K750i out today. For just £16 per month you can get 1000 off peak mins and 250 texts per month. There`s no cash back or complicated redemption offers to worry about, this a straight-forward deal direct from Vodafone - Get the K750i for free and pay £16 per month, minimum 12 month contract.

RE: BA: SE K750i on Virgin Mobile 200 (18 months) - Min term cost of £164 (£9.11/month) after cashba

Have a word with Vodafone, they may understand your situation and allow you to cancel the contract. You can reduce your rental to 15 per month after 6 months

RE: BA: SE K750i on Vodafone CrossNet 200 (12m) - minimum term cost of £110 (after cashback)

I am waiting until mine arrives before I cancel, I will only cancel if they change the deal from the 8 months free line rental to the 7 months free or even to the 6 months at 2.99. I have heard that this is likely since OSPS have a reputation for selling amazing deals then changing them before the phones have been released. Its pot luck with the deal you get until the phone is in your hand.

RE: BA: SE K750i on Vodafone CrossNet 200 (12m) - minimum term cost of £110 (after cashback)

I think you can change the contract after 6 months however if you reduce the tarrif from 30 per month to 15 per month then the cashback from months 8 and 12 would be based on the line rental paid at that time so it would likely be halved. So you will be saving half the line rental but losing half the cashback, no better off really. I am not 100% sure about this since the terms and conditions are not that easy to understand.

mobile call spending limit

I have an orange contract with 1000 free minutes per month off peak. Can I put a cap on my account to prevent me making any more calls than this so I don`t pay any more than my monthly line rental.

RE: BA: SE K750i on Vodafone CrossNet 200 (12m) - minimum term cost of £110 (after cashback)

When did you apply for this phone? Is it really cool? Its good that they are unlocked.

RE: BA: SE K750i on Vodafone CrossNet 200 (12m) - minimum term cost of £110 (after cashback)

I applied for this phone yesterday when the offer was 8 months free rental, I have found in the terms and conditions that they can change the deal but if you don`t like it then you can have a full refund. But they have only increased the price just enough to make it still attractive so that people will likely not cancel. I would like to hear from anyone who got the 8 months free line rental, this will help when I complain. With the phones only being available after they changed the deal I doubt anyone got it. Very false advertising just to get people sucked in.

RE: BA: SE K750i on Vodafone CrossNet 200 (12m) - minimum term cost of £110 (after cashback)

They said my k750i will be sent out on Monday, onestopphoneshop add the 250 free text bundle onto the contract so you have to do nothing, thats what they said anyway, i will check with Vodafone when it arrives.

RE: BA: SE K750i on Vodafone CrossNet 200 (12m) - minimum term cost of £110 (after cashback)

I think to get this phone for 20 pounds you could maybe lower your plan from 30 pounds to 15 pounds per month after 6 months thus saving 90 pounds. 110 less 90 = 20. However i think that the cash back would probably be affected in months 8 and 12.

RE: BA: SE K750i on Vodafone CrossNet 200 (12m) - minimum term cost of £110 (after cashback)

Good advice, you obviously are the King of mobiles. I promptly placed and order for this phone after reading your post however I am not sure if I messed up with the 250 Text bundle plan, it stated that it comes free with this tarrif for 6 months and I wasn`t sure which bundle to accept since there was so many so I selected none. Will this be a problem do you think?
