Arrow phone offer - too good too be true?

OK I'm a bit bleary eyed and tired and just browsing for a new phone so sorry if this is stupidly obvious!

Carphonewarehouse:

Free phone, free line rental for 12 months (cheque back) and on a 12 month contract including a bunch of free minutes.

So nothing to pay and cancel it after a year? Must be a catch?

Have a look and explain it to me.......

here!

Cheers

PS I know it looks a bit fruity in the picture but also available in silver

IF you just use your phone for calling and maybe text messaging, you can get a reliable old Nokia from ebay.(new ones tend to go bust easier with all the gadgets they hold)
