e2save "Free" deals

[Furgy]

Regarding deals such as These (http://www.thedvdforums.com/jump2.php?url=http://www.awin1.com/awclick.php?mid=422&id=30372&p=http://www.e2save.com/mobile/phones/disphandset.php?network=virgin&handset=W300ICL)
is the deal really free as long as I follow through all the cashback properley, and don't go over my allowance. Don't Orange charge you £2 for billing, so 2 times 12 months - £24? I know that o2 also charge you for this...So if I took out this contract would my monthly bills be exactly £20, and not even a penny over - Things like VAT or any hidden charges won't apply here will they? Thanks

Thats if e2save entitle you with the cashback.

There has been times when they have given people only a couple of months cashback instead of it all.

But if it all goes to plan then yes, it really is free.

Yes, and if Royal Mail don't lose your recorded delivery item to e2save....

I have had about 6 free phones from e2save.
I always got the money back.
Orange do throw in a few extra surprise charges, but most can be cancelled, cost about £5 over a year.
I also get a "excluded" number from the free calls sometimes, again only a couple of quid over a year.

Three are usually the best deals, my last two phones on three, when I cancelled after the year they phoned me up and offered me another year for £5. They credited my phone accounts with £235 and deduct £20 each month.

pjclark1 how long did you have to wait after you cancelled your contract before they called you up?

I am on a free deal with mobileshop. I was wondering what happens when I come to the end of my contract? What's the best method of changing to another "free" deal?

They phoned me up a week before the contract expired (three weeks after I cancelled)
