Ha, it's still there! If you go to the page and try a few times to refresh
it the ad should appear (at the bottom of the page - it seems to rotate
randomly with a PC World ad).
I've saved it to my desktop (it's an animated gif) and it clearly says that
the phone is available *free* for £15 a month.
I will post the animated gif to the ASA and see what happens (I won't hold
my breath). |
