Default Cashback contract with web access?

I also want 50+ SMS & 300-700+ voice a month, reminders of how many
included SMS/minutes left (O2 rubbish at this), 12 months contract and
few cashback payments with a month to claim them.

RM's site shows Phones4U with 2 offers on 3 cashback payments:

T-Mobile Flext 35 & Vodafone 500 + 250 text. Do either of these do
inclusive web access and if not, can someone recommend another deal?

Plan to use my K750i and to buy the contract within a week.

I can see Phones2U but not Phones4U or am I missing something ?

Ah yes. Bl**dy adverts.

You can add web'n'walk to the T-Mobile Flext to give you a web access bundle.

That may be true, but I would urge anyone considering this route to
confirm with their chosen retailer that it doesn't affect the cashback
as some retailers simply state "no change of tariff" in their T&Cs which
could equally apply to tariff upgrades as well as tariff downgrades.

As it happens, I'm in the process of confirming this issue with The
Mobile Outlet for one of my readers that emailed me recently. If I find
the time (a BIG "if" these days), I might just extend the question to
*all* the retailers on my list for completeness.

Thanks for all the replies. Web'n'walk is unlimited for £1 a day. I
was thinking more like 1-10MB a month and £1 a month at most.

I'd be surprised if none of the cashback tariffs include this. It
would be a nice unique selling point.

I know blueyonder would give me a dialup account for free, VM might do
the same - but presumably the K750 won't work as a dialup modem?

The K750 works flawlessly as a dial-up modem.

Just found quite a few Web&Walk cashback deals on RM's site. Needless
to say, they require a large amount of cash up front (£32.50 or £42.50
a month).

Have chosen this one:
http://www.reestitmutton.co.uk/MOBIL...l.php?aid=6489

O2 was late delivering my PAC code so I insisted on a £4 refund.

Phones2U have a 21 day from bill date cashback window. Going get as
many friends to get on the 3 cashback scheme as possible so we can
co-ordinate claims! They also pay out £20 per friend so I reckon you
can make about £70 each if you sell the phone (on top of the free line
rental, calls, SMSs and web access).

Phones2U have a dirty little insurance scam, probably illegal.

On the website they offer you 3 months insurance free. Not sure if I
even ticked this box but they also filled out a Direct Debit for me to
pay them £44.55 split over the rest of the year.

I have apparently just cancelled by phone.
