Free XBOX 360 with carphone warehouse contract

There has to be a catch?

You're tied in for 18 months, from what i understand the first 6 months are automatically half price

(35/2) * 6 = £105

Second 6 months you get a chequeback every quarter

35 * 3 = £105

So that's £210 for 12 months, the final 6 months is full price so

35 * 6 = £210

So 18 month contract for £420 plus a free Xbox 360?

Is this correct?

Yup, it's not a catch it's just the phone isn't really worth a huge amount because it's nothing special, and it's an 18 month contract which puts a lot of people off.
You'd probably find a cheaper deal if you looked on www.e2save.co.uk where there's more 12 month deals and better phones for less. It wouldn't include an X-Box 360 but you'd save enough to be able to afford one for less anyway.
Good example: http://www.e2save.co.uk/mobile/phones/disphandset.php?network=vodafone&handset=L7 Same phone, same network, vodafone 275mins 9 months at 99p, remaining 3 at £35 a month so it'd work out as £113 over the year, you'd save £300 so easily be able to get an X-Box 360.

Also bear in mind it's an X-Box 360 core, not the premium.

Thanks , useful as ever, only problem I can see with the above example is no inclusive txts. The one I mentioned gives you 100 txts month hmmmmm

I'll look into it a bit more

You sure it does? I can't see anything on inclusive texts and I know in store they don't come with inclusive texts on that particular contract.
http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/co...N=MONTHLY&LAYOUT=false&NETWORK=VOD&PART=MOTL7 will be the tariff details.

If you need about 100 texts then I'd recommend O2 or Orange to get them inclusive Again e2save has similar deals for both networks.

Yeah I phoned them up and asked, apparently has 100 free texts with all tariffs, at least that's what the sale blokey told me.

Edit: Although looking at that link it looks like I might of been misinformed???
