O2 Simplicity £15 a month smartphone deal + £100 Cashback
- Thread starter Kristoph
- Start date
for 6.60 a month id take that hit
but yeah 500mb data is pretty poor....especially on an android phone.
Not a bad deal. About the same as my T-Mobile one. £15 for 300 mins, unlimited texts and 3gb data. It's on the T-Mobile website and you get a T-Mobile Pulse for free and I think it's £35 cash back through quidco. Only down side is it's 24 months instead of 12.
I signed up for the contract about a week ago and its still not tracked either.
Quidco and mobile cashback deals are looking dodgey now the more I google. Saying that I did one last year and it worked.

Peve have you opened an earnings enquiry? I want to know that this will track and work asap as I want to start using the SIM. £15 per month is a bit different to £6.60 and would sway me to getting a contract with a free phone instead.
Mine has not even shown up at all in quidco even as a pending transaction. No sign at all.
To the OP, has yours tracked?
Hi,
Its still not shown up on quidco and I can't submit an earning enquiry until a month after the transaction.
I made a thread like this last month and nobody even replied!
Was the £100 offer on then? You should hop onto moneysavingexpert forums and post in the dedicated quidco follow up thread and complain. More people would spark more of an investigation I guess.
I have some potentially bad news about this deal. I think the reason mine may not have tracked (and may not at all) is because O2/Quidco have been a bit naughty and misleading. I think when they say £100 cashback on £15+ 12monthly sim only deals, they mean only on tariffs where the monthly cost is £15 per month outright and NOT where you start with the £10 per month deal and then use the £5 monthly internet add on. They seem to have changed the tariffs very craftily to make this delibarately misleading to me. It used to be that the £15 per month tariff included the internet bundle, but now they have all gone £5 per month cheaper and you add it on separate. So in order to qualify, I think you might have to get the £15 per month + £5 internet. Which is now £20 per month minus £100 cashback = £11.66 per month. OK, but not £6.60 per month which is what I was expecting. If this is the case I'll be extremely annoyed and even though £11.66 per month is a good deal, I'd have to cancel and sign up again just to get it which would be a farse, plus I don't need 600 minutes a month.
Can someone confirm if they managed to get this to track having selected the £10per month deal (3oo mins UL texts) whilst adding the £5 internet?
Cheers

The iPhone tariff on this page - http://shop.o2.co.uk/recommended_tariffs specifically states it's £15 all included, no mention of the internet being £5 more so I assume if you pick that they couldn't argue it's not valid.
Interesting, and thanks for pointing that out. What are the chances of it working on the iPhone specific one I wonder. Probably some catch there too. More to the point, what is the difference between a simplicity 12 month for iPhone and for a smart phone? I take it the sim will work in a smart phone so why do they refer to it as being for iphone?

The iPhone contract adds visual voicemail, all ?15+ simplicity deals should get the ?100 cashback though.

Cool, in that case I will give it till the end of the week to track and then if nothing, will cancel and go for the iPhone one. I take it iPhone one still works in non iPhone phones right?
Whenever I select the £10 simplicity deal with 500mb free internet - I see no add-on for 500mb internet at £5, only £10 and £15 for the 1gb and 2gb add-ons.
How do I select a tariff with 500mb internet? (I'm probably missing something completely silly!)
Cheers for the links though OP

Well, pardon me for my stupidity.... I was selecting the "Simplicity - 12 months" instead of the "Simplicity for smartphones - 12 months"
It has all become clear...
Just to add a general point on Topcashback and Quidco.
I've used both over the last couple of years and overall made about £300 from them together.
I've noticed that maybe 50% of stuff didn't track but after waiting the set time and submitting an enquiry I always got my money. You just have to be patient, it sometime takes longer than the average times.
