A Pretty good phone deal.

**Thrush** · 16th August 2005

www.onestopphoneshop.co.uk are offering what seems to be a good deal, I went for it anyway....

It's on Orange with a competitor tariff (Vodafone's) they are offering 11 months free line rental on a 12 plan and it's 22 quid per month.

So your only paying 22 quid for the phone.

The deal is by redemption over the 12 months in 3 stages (seems to be the norm now)

I'm not a heavy user, so I like to look for the deal's that are cheap if not free

I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to mobile phones

. It appears to me that the phone will cost �11.50 / month for 11 months and then �23 for the 12th month since you still have to pay the tarrif of �11.50. Is that right?

**Thrush** · 17th August 2005

yea its a bit confusing...

you pay 11.50 for the first 3 months then 22 quid there after for 12 months.

During the 4 - 8 - 12 month you will get your money back via redemption

hahahaha yea confusing....

11.50 for 3 months then 22 quid for the remaining 9 months... lol

Well well...

I have to say, be careful if you order anything from this company.

They will tell you, that you have to take the insurance on the phone, as it comes with a 3 month free insurance, and all you have to do is phone the insurance company to cancel.

THIS IS A LOAD OF BOLLCOKS.

firstly you don't need to take the insurance, (stated clearly on the website) so tell them to stick it, even if they push you.

secondly.... You cannot phone the insurance company to cancel, you can only write to them, and you have to do it within 14 days...

Wankers.

I am still taking the phone, which was meant to be delivered today but they failed... *___* So I should be getting it tomorrow.

Any more of this shit and it's going back.

oh and i am talking to customer services tomorrow, to make them cancel the insurance... twats.

Thought you had to write

**DrShah101** · 17th August 2005

easy way out is just cancel the direct debit to the insaurence comp shouldnt be any comebacks as insaurence aint a 12month commitment also be vary of cash back deals heard of some bad stories of poeple not always getting there money back just make sure the compony is legit. sorry about my spelling just being lazy to sort it out

**Thrush** · 17th August 2005

Well it's not really the easy way out when you didn't even want it in the first place,

hahaha yea yea i know i can't ring the insurance company, but onephonetwatshop i can call all day long.

oh their sales number is freephone, their customer support number is as you have already guessed 0845.

onestopphoneshop had problems with deal changing when i got phone be careful when getting deals,

If you order phone they can change deal at any time until you get your phone without having to tell you says in terms and conditions

Plus had to pay delivery to return phone.

i got a phone from one stop phone shop last year. They are twats. They were supposed to send me a referal voucher for 20 quid which i never received even after ringing them several times and i had to wait 3 months for a bluetooth dongle. They also give your details to loads of company's. I must of got 20-30 company's ringing me to offer me deals on phones. Just gone back to the high street to get myself a k750i. Got a good deal too. You just need to haggle with them to get similar to a net deal.

When I first got my phone I had to send it back because the screen was faulty. I had to pay for it to be returned (Utter bollox!) Dont go near them!

**Thrush** · 18th August 2005

the company is a fucking joke.... hahaha their customer support telephone number is 0845 and i am 9th in the cue.

**Thrush** · 18th August 2005

**thedriver** · 18th August 2005
