It seems really good

Samsung Galaxy S2 Black refurbished

on

Orange Panther 20.50 (24 months)

£20.50 monthly
Effectively £14.95 monthly with cashback
Includes
500MB data allowance , 100 Minutes , Unlimited Texts

13 Months ½ Price by redemption

Also would I get any money back from here if I was to buy

http://www.quidco.com/mobiles-co-uk/

?

My T-Mobile has gone up to £16 a month but my contract has just run out.
And I am a light user but can I just ask what would happen if I was to go over the 500mb?

Thanks

You''ll get clobbered if you go over.

The only safe thing to do is always leave data off and discontinue use when down to 100MB.
If the cashback is contract related then that's what you get. If 'new phone only' related then obviously no.

edit - 61.3p a day subject to a daily fair use limit of 25MB. Now what if you go over that?

They charged £3.07 per MB over so they say!

These deals happen but they obviously do go pretty fast for those with convenient end of contract timing.

Looks like I won't be getting this now.
I just phoned T-Mobile and they are giving me 100 mins & 100 text plus unlimited Internet for £6.50 a month which seems really good and this is for 12 months.
I could buy a cheap S2 now if I can get one for around £260 don't care if its old.

500mb is ok as long as you dont do a load of streaming for day to day surfing, syncing it is fine. Also there are plenty of apps to monitor your data usage which warn you should you be approaching the set limit.
