    Just been delivered and you're right it is totally free. Free rental, free calls, free delivery, the lot.

    Ideal for the kids.

    Cheers, mate.(raiseaglass)

    Just been looking at the phone for a relative, looks ideal. No catches at all?

    RE: Windy

    The only catch (if you can call it a catch) is that you have to pay the line rental and get it back via redemption vouchers, so it's ok if you weren't going to be using the cash for anything else.

    I read on a message board that the company have been around a few years and have done this kind of deal before, apparently they always pay up.

    You can get a similar deal with Three with 500 minutes and 100 texts but the phone's crap.

    Yep - the 3 'phone is certainly crap.</p>

    If nothing else, every day with it is a new adventure.</p>

    RE: Aha!!!

    u still got your 3 phone, I thought you were one of the few not having trouble.</p>

    I dunno how i've resisted tossing mine in the dearne and starting again.</p>

    Incidentally, it does have one redeeming feature. Apparently it prevented it's owner from being killed the other week when he was shot at close range with a gun during a jewel raid.</p>

    Small mercies eh?</p>

    Look here you lot, I'm pretty sure there is no con. Got my phone and everything is fine. It's on o2s network.

    I've already got a similar deal from Dial a Phone and they have already started paying the cash back when due.

    Get in now - these deals will not be available in December.

    RE: I'm lost

    You pay £30 a month. For that you get free everything, including rental, 200 mins of calls - any network (400 in first 3 months) and 100 texts (200 in first 3 months). They then give you back £90 at the end of 5 months, 7 months, 9 months and 12 months, making £360 in all so you have had all your money back - so totally free.

    I presume therefore that..

    ... you pay upfront. They invest your money in great big wads, make interest on it, then give it you back later.
