This offer no longer available from OSPS. They changed the offer to 6 months line rental at £2.99 now! Too late guys!

your still engaged into a 12 month contract, you get 8 months free then the 12 month contract starts....
so effectivly its a 20 month contract with the first 8 months free...

Vodacrap are to be avoided. Their branding is even worse than Orange - they ruin phones. |

sid_812, u have to send them the copy of month 4, 8 ,12 bill with the claim form to claim the money back. I am waiting for my £100 with my Orange SPV C500 at the moment. Hopefully it would be with me in next 2 weeks time. onestopphone has became a division of CPW in 2005 so I think they are reliable. http://www.onestopphoneshop.co.uk/about.php |

batesie, it does not work in that way. They offer the 8 months free line rental by cah claims in month 4, 8 and 12. Sometimes it's including half price line rental for 3 months. For example, u got 3 months half price line rental then u claim £60 back on month 4, £60 back on month 8 then £75 back on month 12 and this make up to £240 = 8 months free line rental. |

Pagnell, I am not so sure about the branding thing cause I haven't receievd the phone yet. CPW they do sell phones without any branding at all. I got my Moto V3 on O2 with them and it don't even have the O2 screen saver stuffs etc. If I were lucky enough then I might have a unbranded phone. The Voda version of K750i do have a different design though. http://www.vodafone-emailme.c[....]F6E49BBAA7FED38D4CB542902609F5

O2 are the best network for releasing phones with hardly any branding. At most you get a startup animation (which can be turned off or changed), a screensaver (again can be turned off or changed) and the wap/gprs session button in the menu might have an O2 logo on it.
Besides, Vodacrap sponsor Man U and no one with any sense would want to be associated with them. Then again, the same could be said for O2 and Arsenal......... |

The phones from OSPS are apparently black, which might indicate they're the standard non-Vodafone ones..?

Here's some hot off the press info from the cpw and how to get the k750i really cheap!
Ok the phone will be in stores tomorrow or friday:
K750i = Free on £30 tariffs and up
So
1st 6 months £30 x 6 = £180
Last 6 months £15 x 6 =£90
Total = £270
You get a cheque back after 4 months for £90
Which means the phone costs £180 over the year!
Not bad in my view!

It is even better than that because you are completely ignoring the free minutes and texts you get within that year. With O2 on a £30 tariff that would be 400 minutes to any landline or network and 100 texts for the first 6 months than half that for the second 6 months. That is as good as getting the phone for nothing.
People in the US can't believe how good we have it over here when it comes to contracts - in the end after taking the contract benefits into account we get the phones for virtually nothing - things are different over there apparently. |

i phoned up these guys about this deal today, and before i agreed anything i asked him about the 8 months free and whether the phone was branded at all...
branding: "all our phones are sim-free" "yes you can put any network sim in it"
8 months free: "no you dont have to do anything to get your 8 months free, we will send you a cheque on months 4, 8, and 12"
so i was sold on it! even if it turns out i have to send my bills in, im sure ill manage 
plus if it does turn out to be voda-branded after all, ill just return it using my 14-day guaruntee.
that should help everyone make up their mind |
