Try searching the many sites on a thing called the internet and maybe putting your post in the PC`s & Mobiles forum not in the forum for people to post the bargains they have found not the bargains they want finding ;)

OR

Welcome to dvd reviewer forum this is probably not the right place to post this item but its your first post and i`m sure you`ll get round to reading the forum rules etc ASAP.

Your best bet is to try a search on this forum for phones and follow links to other sites that do have offers from time to time failing that try money saving expert .com who have loads of links or just google cheap mobile phones etc
hope this isn`t your last post

Hi - I bought a 3 phone from e2save the other day - I`d googled and surfed for ages to find the best deal - ended up with an amazing deal (works out way under £10 a month for loads of minutes and texts) on the Nokia 6630 and am really, really happy with it. Search there under `3` contract deals,

If you don`t mind a referral link (I think these are ok, please Mods remove it and pity my ignorance if not) then follow:This link

or, if you like, this is the straight link.

As I say, I`ve used them recently, and am very happy. The catch, if you can call it that, is you save the money through claiming cashback, but it`s perfectly kosher (part of the Carphone Warehouse).

Hope this is helpful.

Also have a look on Reestit Muttons home page

He has saved the members on here a fortune on phones and electrical goods, he searches out the best deals for you, then if you order via his page you still pay the same price but R.M. earns a few sheckles commision for his hard work.

All the best & welcome to reviewer

At the moment I think this is the best deal...3360 on 3 Clearance ...£3.99 per month for 12 month contract (equivalent after you consider cashbacks). These clearance items tend not to last long so do not delay in ordering if you are interested. If you are not happy when you get it you can just take it into a Carphonewarehouse branch within 7 days I think. Brilliant phones (can even stick TomTom on them and use as MP3 player), loads of minutes and I have had mine a month on 3 and have had not real problems with it....and reputable dealer.

CarPhoneWarehouse


Ooops. Out of stock now. Worth keeping an eye on the Carphonewarehouse and E2Save websites as both of them have been having similar Clearance offers on the 6630 recently.

Agree with the recommendation for Reestit Mutton. He`s still on paternity leave at the minute but should be back soon according to his website.

Numerous decent deals around - mostly these take the form of `cashback` deals. Cashback is where you pay he line rental and recover all/some in 3 or 4 monthly blocks - these are basically the retailer passing on their commission from the network. Just pick a reputable dealer and you should be ok - should means that some retailers have folded before paying cashbacks.
The better retailers are Mobileshop and CPW.

To be fair, Ryno did put a winky smiley after his post. I am gussing he was having a pop at some people who have been jumping down peoples throuts (sp) recently and not you. Or he may just be being a c*** ;)

I no nothing about phones. Sorry.

All the best,
