Monisha says (9th March 2010): >>A quick tip - I think there may be a mistake on www.carphonewarehouse.com website. They are giving away Nokia 5230 on THREE network on a contract for 18 months for £15/month. Inclusive are: Inclusive usage Inclusive data Unlimited Internet Anytime Any network Inclusive minutes 750 minutes Anytime Any network Inclusive texts Unlimited texts Anytime Any network The same deal on the THREE site is £35/month. So hurry and get a deal of a lifetime, well for the next 18 months anyways. http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/buy/NOKIA_5230_315IN_FCON# |

Terence says (23rd January 2010): >>Nectar have an offer on at the moment where when you buy an O2 PAYG Mobile Broadband Dongle via their website, you receive 3,750 Nectar points! However, O2 also have a special offer this weekend where the Dongle only costs £10 this weekend. So basically a £10 spend will return points equivalent to an £18.75 spend in either Argos or Sainsbury's - a PROFIT of £8.75 and as a bonus, a PAYG Mobile Broadband Dongle! |

It is Touchmaster 3 - their price is £14.73 free P&P. This is the cheapest I could find on the internet. Other sites are offering it for not less than £17-19. I have the other two Touchmaster games and cannot wait until the new one is released. I have secured mine. Hope this helps Nintendo DS addicts. |

Jo says (12th September 2009): >>***Jeanie Says*** This was in reply to my alert about the Sim only vodafone deal http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/shop/sim-only-plans/all-sim-plans - 600 minutes and unlimted texts for £15 per month. Jo Says:- thanks for this - I'm already with Vodafone on a monthly contract and just called them . . . . they are sneaky b*****s!! they won't offer you this as they say its a 'promo'!! You can kinda get round it though - they can reduce your plan down a level each month. So my monthly amount has dropped by £5 and I'm getting more for my money. If I call back again next month they will reduce it again . . . all bit c***, but I am saving some money and getting more! so - thanks again Jo |

Jayne Stala says (10th September 2009): >>Back to uni deal special: Tesco Telecoms reports 71% surge in Pay as You Go mobile broadband deals • Students driving surge in uptake of mobile broadband • Retailer launches back to uni market beating deals As record numbers of students head to university this September, Tesco has seen its sales of pay as you go mobile broadband deals increase by a huge 71%. With laptop dongles available for less than £20, many students are opting for PAYG mobile broadband instead of taking out a contract, which avoids the need to install a landline as well as those monthly squabbles over who’s paying the direct debit! Top deals on a host of dongle packages from leading networks mean students can take the internet with them wherever they go. Dongles can be used with PC’s laptops, Netbooks and Macs allowing students to work anytime, anywhere - on the bus or even down the pub! And with great offers on mobile top ups too, there’s now no excuse not to call the parents. Free HP laptop and Nokia mobile with mobile broadband contracts! And it’s not just PAYG deals that are flying off the shelf. With Tesco Contract Phones, students can pick up a free HP laptop and a Nokia 6303 for just £29.36 per month with the Vodafone Anytime 700 plan. The 24 month contract includes 700 minutes* free talk time, 250 texts and unlimited landline minutes – proving it pays to do your homework! Tesco’s back to uni products are available in 70 stores nationwide or online at: www.tesco.com and include: * 3 Dongle - Was £29.99, Now £19.99 * 3 £39.99 Starter Pack - includes £15 Top Up * Vodafone Dongle £34.99 (New Low Price) - includes £15 Top Up * T-Mobile Dongle £19.56 - Buy one day's usage at £2 and Get 30 days for Free * O2 Dongle £14.68 - includes Free Wi-Fi on the "Cloud" hotspots - wherever you see the BT Openzone logo, the dongle will divert to Wi-Fi and connect you for free, saving your top-up for when you're not in a Wi-Fi area For more information go to: www.tesco.com |

Viv says (29th August 2009): >>7" digital Photo frame available at excellent price from RedSave ***Jeanie Says*** Hi Viv I have removed the link you submitted with this tip because I have come across this website before. I want to make sure that you and anyone else who reads the tip is aware of the Redsave Terms & Conditions. The excellent prices you have mentioned are on the condition that you purchase a monthly pass which will cost you £19.95 per month. You do get a 30 day free trial but you have to cancel the subscription to stop the payment. That taken into consideration you may not find the prices so attractive. I am not commenting. |

Carolyn says (10th August 2009): >>Just thought I would let you know, on checking my talk talk telephone bill I noticed they had put one of the charges up by £1.00 per month which brought the caller display charge upto £2.50 per month so I rang to complain that they hadnt even informed me that they were going to do that, so they have now given it me free of charge forever when I asked them why they said that if customers complain about it they are offering it free of charge, just thought I would let you know and you can share it with everyone. |

absent says (30th July 2009): >>Re:Orange cinemas 2 for 1. Orange pays 10 GBP if you transfer you previous number into orange. So,you can buy an Orange sim for 0.97 and find any sim card which you don't need.Then call customer services and say you want your number to be transferred.Using this tip you get 10 GBP on your Orange sim card for free. Time to time every network offers free sim cards as a promotion. Grab couple of them for free even if you don't need them. http://shop.orange.co.uk |

Chris says (15th June 2009): >>www.npower.com hometeam are currently offering a 30-point gas boiler service at £49.99 instead of their usual £72.99 (filling in Summer slackness, no doubt). I used them last year and found them thorough and efficient. You'll have to pay in advance, but the discount makes that worthwhile. Only book up to one month in advance(a quirk, apparently). Appointments go up to 7th August. Go to: http://www.npower.com/web/boilerservice/index.htm?&t=0800%20980%202122 |

| SIM Bargain Deal |
|
Luis says (18th May 2009): >>Hello Jeanie! I've got a real good one! T-mobile is offering a plan which includes 350 minutes + unlimited messages for £15 per month. What's most incredible is that the lenght of this contract is only 1 month. I've been using that and I can't complain! (well, I'd love to have 1000 minutes for the same price, but...) A good deal, isn't it? Best wishes! Luis ***Jeanie Says*** It is a SIM only deal but what a great one. Most people, like me have a favourite phone already and if a better deal comes up, I am only tied in for one month. Well spotted Luis http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/shop/mobile-phones/sim-card/pay-monthly/pay-monthly-solo/solo-15/allowances/ |

A-M says (19th August 2008): >>I researched your top tip about 'Be Broadband' as it sounded good. They very honestly told me that all their call centres are in Bulgaria. This would put me off but I thought I should let you know so that you can make your own judgements. I have had very negative experiences with several off-shore call centres. Perhaps we could start a list on MAB of companies that still DO have British call centres? ***Jeanie Says*** Hi - I did not know that but in the couple of years I have been with www.bethere.co.uk I have never had to call them. I think the service may have been off once or twice but it was only for a very short time and very late at night, so it has never been a problem. |
|
Richard says (7th January 2009): >>Hi, Have been a customer of Be for over a year and I am very impressed. Equally used their call centre for help on the router ID etc. and they were very helpful. Much better line than I get with the banking centres in India. www.bethere.co.uk |

Chrissi says (18th October 2006): >>I have known about a site for a while now that I think everyone in the UK should use! Hopefully it will stop companies using 0870 numbers!!! www.saynoto0870.com Go to the site with your 0870 number and then search for the local number of the company, and generally it has 95% of the UK companies on there and you can then ring at the national rate if you have a special rate deal with your phone provider. good luck!
