You can run a mobile phone at a profit!...
Just ordered a new mobile and amazed at the deal I got - and if you reused your existang handset you could actually run the phone at a profit over the year, that is getting free line rental, calls and texts!!!
Basically phone (Orange SPV C500 smartphone) is free, you get
- 325quid cashback (and free bluetooth headset + mp3 player)
- The phone
Line rental is 50/month, and you cannot downgrade line rental for the first 6 months, so;
6 months at 50/month = 300
further 6 months at 19/month = 114
TOTAL outgoing = 414
However you then reuse your old handset, so sell the new handset sim-free on Ebay;
Handset = 100
Cashback = 325
TOTAL income = 425
PROFIT = 11 - and remember you get 100's of mins of free calls and texts!!!
Pretty impressive I thought

Easily the best mobile deal I could find after spending the morning working out which made most sense!
EDit: That place even has a recommend a friend scheme too, so if anyone is thinking of getting one, and feeling kind send me an instant message so I can recommend you
