Their are scores of internet sites, highstreet stores and newspaper ad's offering 'free gifts' if you take out a certain contract with a certain handset.

Always ask before signing up if the gift is available and when it would be delivered. Check the small print to see what they would offer if the original item was not available.

You probably wont want to hear this but you should be really concentrating on

1, The best network which gives you coverage where you live or work.
2, Package of minutes and texts for the best monthly cost.
3, Rollover/cross networks usage.
4, Handset which suits your life style.
5, 12 or 18 month contract.
5, Freebies !

You say you would spend £25.00 a month which is ;

£450 for 18month contract
£300 for 12months contract not including call/texts/gprs usage over
your package.

If its a console you want then this would be the most expensive way of getting one. Packages on games consoles are way cheaper in the long run.

I mean that most highstreet stores are selling games consoles bundled with 3-4 games with accessories far cheaper than signing up to a contract in order to obtain a console 'free' with no games or accessories.

A point to note about your signature : Please would you remove the links from your signature as they lead to business's and can be considered as spam. Failure to do so could result in your future posts being deleted or possibly being banned.

Thank you.

Hi pimmsoclock. Love the name, straight off the advert. Now to your question. If you want a mobile phone contract, complete with a gift, such as a PS3, Wii, etc, you have to take out an expensive, high end contract, usually with a low end phone and a small number of minutes/texts, etc. This is done so they can get rid of poor selling phones, by offering a sweetener (the console). This gift is paid for in the price of the contract, so it isn't free, it's included in the price. It's extremely unlikely that you'll get a gift item on a low end contract, for all the reasons listed above.
