I’ve been aware of cashback website Quidco for a while, but only just bothered to sign up to it – because some of the deals on offer are eye-popping. For example… I’m about to reach the end of my current mobile phone contract. And being the online type that I am, I’ve been keeping an eye on 3’s X-Series with unlimited internet access.
The X-Series deals just got a little bit better: for an equivalent of ยฃ32.22 per month (over 18 months) you get a free Nokia N73 smartphone, plus web, email, instant messaging and Skype. If you want the newer E65 phone, which really does look lovely, that’ll cost you ยฃ50 up front, plus ยฃ40 per month. Included in the tariffs are 750 x-net minutes and 150 texts, or 300 mins and 1000 texts. Characteristically generous from 3. But – if you go through Quidco, 3 will give you ยฃ100 cash back. Not a typo, folks – that’s a full one hundred.
I’m currently playing my existing network off against the 3 deal, but so far, they can’t even come close. And that’s before I mention the ยฃ100 cashback deal. Looks like I’m switching in a few weeks.

I switched to x-series 3 a few weeks ago. I wasn’t sure if I’d be that swept away by being able to use mobile web all the time, but it turns out it’s like getting broadband all over again.
