any idea how long Orange take to pay? i took out a contract with £150 cashback back in July - they initially said payment due in october, then november, then december, now january (only until february...). do they ever pay?

any news on the voucher winners

any news on the voucher winners

Chose the phone and the plan. Just need to be paid

When are the winners of the vouchers to be announced?

I ordered my mobile before midnight on 13th Nov (I called Orange and they have confirmed this). It originally validated at £150 (I have a print out to prove this), it then changed to £50 shortly afterwards. The phone was delivered this morning (21st Nov). I haven't activated the phone yet. My Quidco account still shows as £50! We were told to 'sit tight' and the validation amount would change back to £150 - this clearly isn't happenning for some people. Can anyone at Quidco please explain what is going on and advise what customers in this situation should do?

i was told to raise an earning enquiry for this issue as mine changed to £50 from £150. It was declined by Quidco without any explanation! As a result, I cancelled and sent back the phone today.

It still says £50 on my account - I ordered at 10.30pm. I don't have faith in this being sorted out so the phone is going back on Saturday morning!

I'm in the same situation, ordered before midnight but still validated at £50. I submitted an enquiry today. If not sorted by the end of my cancellation period I shall be cancelling. Sort it out Quidco!

I confirmed my purchase with Orange was before Midnight, but Quidco have not honoured what they said above by changing the validation back last Monday.

does anyone know when winners of vouchers will be announced?

I'm having trouble activating my SIM online, would it be OK to do this by phone or would this invalidate the cashback because it hasn't been done completely online?

my £150 still declined, though when my phone arrived on saturday 15th I rang orange to activate my sim and asked them when my online transaction went through she said thursday 13th, but do orange have a get out clause by sending confirmation emails out after the deadline? Im really disheartend yes it may be greed on my part but I really didn't intend to get a new phone for quite a while!!

My phone arrived today, orange were very late with acknowlegment, confirmation to the extent were i became unsettled and was contemplating contacting them via phone, but again i did not want to do this just incase they then stated at a latter date that the transaction was not done wholly online!!!!, my transaction tracked and validated at 150gbp after 20mins with quidco , so fingers crossed the 150gbp should be forth coming in which case i have made a very good purchase.

Mine tracked and validated at £150 within 20 mins of ordering on the 13 Nov, i think the phones going back though as it keep locking up, the software is full of bugs, some things dont work at all and theyve cut my package from 75mins to 40! and texts cut from 150 to 80!

Yes, I think I am going to send the phone back when it arrives on thursday. Just spotted that topcashback are offering £100 for new Orange contracts this week. Come on Quidco, please sort this £150 mess out! Has anyone got tracked cashback at £150?

Still waiting for my transaction to change from £50 to £150 too. Not looking good! I shall cancel if it doesn't change by the end of 7 day cancellation period.

My account still states that it has tracked at £50? According to the main post above it is supposed to change to £150 today - Doesn't seem to have worked. looks like Orange is about to loose another customer!

Ordered mine a week ago and received acknowledgement email. Heard nothing since and despite clearing temp internet files and cookies it hasn't tracked.

Reading comments here I have my doubts I'll see my cashback. If it arrives they'll be getting it back and will have lost a potential customer.

QuidcoCarol can you advise if all ok with the orange tracked amounts now? They were meant to be sorted today. Thanks

ive had same problem but orange put it thru with new order number so it looks like its a telsale so quidco cashback gone down drain and orange customer service wont help ! told tham to shove it!

Rang Orange sales, explained the problem and they found it was to do with the security code on my card. Put the order with the same order number through and now arriving Tues. Hope this helps, give them a ring.

I have exactly the same problem louiselaskey. Have emailed Orange twice at the same address you gave, but no response. My phone was supposed to be delivered yesterday before 12. What is going on??

I ordered Tues night, the 150 tracked immediately, but got an e-mail from orange to reply to webcabinet@orange as there were some details they needed to check. I've mailed them 4 times now with no response.

Has any one else had this? I'm wary of ringing up as they said they would cancel the order and put it through again and I have the feeling this won't track in quidco...

Help!

Help too - ordered on tuesday it crashed on delivery payment page and then got an email which said i needed to get in touch to clarify a few details and when i did they took delivery payment over the phone. This never tracked.
On Weds phoned and they said didn't know if it would validate so I asked about cancelling and was told had 7 days once delivered. I decided to try and order again online on weds night. This time it worked and by friday i have had a validation. 1st phone delivered yesterday and have had email about clarification about the 2nd phone. but no 3.99 delivery payment has come out of account yet.
Which order has been validated?? Asked for 2nd phone to be delivered Mon.

corr iv missed out on the 150 cash back not to worry my first phone was the bt brick but i loved and i ionly put 5 pound a month on to it. them were the good ol days lol

corr iv missed out on the 150 cash back not to worry my first phone was the bt brick but i loved and i ionly put 5 pound a month on to it. them were the good ol days lol

My first phone was Phillips Savvy mobile. What a fantastic brick it was!

I'd worry. Sounds like they track in minutes. I think Orange have messed up big time for lots of us. Had to cancel mine this morning. Just not competitive without the cashback.

ordered thursday night, not tracked yet, should i be worried ??? first mobile, a BT brick

Cant remember the first but then had a motorola flip phone. Haven't had a mobile in almost 2 years and I love being without one most of the time. I do like going to the cinema though

further from my last post, I now have 2 mobile phones on the way. . . .

my first mobile was a huge cellnet that i got through barclaycard about 15 years ago!

I think my first mobile was a Nokia 5210??

My first phone was literally a brick, one of those Nokia's (5100 I think) where you could change/swap the covers

My wife ordered her new phone but not tracked at all yet , suppose will have to wait and see if it tracks later !

Hi all, please note the update in the main post: UPDATE *** Some members have noted that their transactions changed to £50, but validated transactions made through 23.59pm Thursday, 13th November, will be honoured at £150.00. ***

If your transaction was made prior to then but has changed to £50, please hang tight.. we've been advised by the network that the correct amount will be showing on Monday.

I also ordered an orange mobile contact at about 11pm last night and see my £150 was declined and replaced with £50. Not happy........

Ordered an orange pay monthly contract at about 11:00 last night. Checked my quidco account today to see it had validated at £50 and I had £150 declined. Why has this happened? I think I did everything I should have to receive the full £150 cashback. Any ideas welcome.

i had a nokia

Have just received email to say that order has now been dispatched, to arrive within 3 working days. £150 is still validated, so fingers crossed.........

NOT VERY HAPPY!!!!!! £150 validated yesterday still ther this morning, this afternoon declined but £50 in its place instead. what a cheat they excepted my order and confimed it how many other people have been conned like this?

"Some folks have expressed concern with regard to previous transactions. We would ask members to look at the tracking stats for this merchants, which show 94% tracking successfully. Of the remaining 6% which became earnings enquiries, 87% of those were successful. That means that overall, 99% of the transactions made through Quidco with Orange have been successful. We hope youâll agree thatâs a very good record!"

.............That's a brilliant record, unless of course you're like me and still waiting for the £150.00 cashback from July.

my first fone was a sagem brick!! And I gave it to a friends nan when I upgraded forgetting some rude messages were on it.

I think orange are screwing up big time. . I ordered yesterday teatime, not tracked by 10pm so I rang orange gave them my order number and they said it wasnt a valid orange order number. .and they had never heard of Quidco? so I reordered, and the process timed out near the end. . . so I reordered and at the end of the order it said I had failed the credit check. .

I have been an orange customer for 10 years and never missed a payment. So I went online and checked my experian account and my credit check is perfect, and it also showed that no-one had run a check on my account for at least 3 weeks. . Then I check quidco later and I have 2 x £150 validated ?? Strange. . . obviously one of them will die at some point. . .

My cashback tracked at £150 today, but it now states that it has been declined. Has anyone else had this problem? Should I cancel?

is anyone else having problems getting emial confirmation etc from Orange

My C902 arrived this morning, and the £150 has validated ok. I'm having trouble activating it and sending my PAC code online, does everyone think that's ok to do over the phone?

Just had an email to say my C905 in black is out of stock. I can wait for who knows how long, or change to the silver C905.

Quidco, If I wait or change the handset, would either of these invalidate my £150? ?

Thanks.

i have heard orange are having trouble with emailing at the moment i ordered my mobile at 23.00 last night they've given me an order no. plus the £150 has been valadated. 12 hours later still no email mobile meant to be delivered 2morrow have to wait n see??

Has anyone received their order yet, please? Still waiting to hear back from Orange.....

OMG just found an old mobile in the attic, its a Motorola Portable, cream in colour, weighs about 3kg lol, totaly forgot i ever used this, need to find the box and stuff for it now and get it on ebay lol

I remember my first phone and the joy I finally felt in having one (last of my peers to do so). At the time I thought it was amazing with its new polyphonic ringtones co mpared to the monotones on my mfriend's phone. It was the unmistakeable combination of blue and orange that was the Nokia 3510i.

Not as old as some of the ones above but then again I was late to the mobile ownership club lol

My first phone was a Nokia 5110, I can't believe how bad it looks now as I've still got it ...I wonder how much I'd get if I sold it? it's got to have some antique value . It's quite amazing how the technology has moved on so quickly.

Ordered a Samsung U900 Soul last night and quidco has been validated so fingers crodssed.

Cmon Quidco, lets have another cracking Vodafone deal next (please )

a Phillips with a tiny little screen. I think I had to phone them up to activate text messaging.

Ordered an LG Secret last night but didn't track and got the email about payment query so cancelled this morning. Shame, looked like a good deal but I'll stay with o2 now.

I would love the Samsung Tocco, it looks so good. Samsung make good quality phones compared with the old VK I have just now.

sagem long one, quite thick was nothink as good as the ones these days but maybe stronger.

Nokia 5120. Seems like a brick now but good at the time. Good build quality and usability compared to some phones I have had since (hello LG!).

btw, the Quidco clock is an hour out, still on summer time.... its only 11:41pm on Nov 13th.

First phone was a Motorola M301 on the original One 2 One network, now T-Mobile, in the days when coverage was limited to the M25! Cost about £270 for the phone! Battery life of about 40 minutes talk time (the good old days of 5V phones) !!

Still have the phone in a cupboard as a momento

I cant remember what model my first phone was but it was a Samsung, small and very basic. Had always said i never wanted a mobile phone...don't think i could live without one now!

MY FIRST PHONE IS ERRICSSON 788, CLASSIC.

My first phone was a motorola brick in Malaysia. Cost me about £200 then. Nightmare

Mine was a Phillips Savvy, think C12 or C13, was a brick! Had a nice white cover for it aswell!!!

my first phone was an ericson. Lovin orange as cheap cinema tickets.. good times

motorola m200 on mercury one to one ..... i still have the phone somewhere in the loft...

Nokia 3610 a bit slow on new technology!!

My first phone when I was 11 was a massive Motorola Brick (not sure the make haha)...and it had a massive chunky aerial! It was on Orange PAYG and I remember that for a long while after midnight text messages were free!! haha!!!

Im Gutted.
Wanted the C905 in black for upgrade.

Dont have it in stock, yet still do for "new customers"

Dont ask how that works

Have remembered what my handsets were - a Mitsubishi MT7 followed by a MT11.
My other mates had Nokia 101's and 232's. Ah, the days of paying a fortune for the handset, £35 connection charge, £29 per month line rental with no included content and then all the charges for calls on top. SMS weren't really around then, it was calls only.

Go back in time here: http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia-phones-f-1-0-p4.php

Happy days...

Got my first phone soon after I started working. It was a Nokia something, with a huge antenna sticking out of it. Thought I was so cool and grown up. It was huge compared to today's phones - had to buy a bigger bag to carry it. Will be buying an Orange phone for daughter for Christmas - can't tell you which one She will only need to slip this one into her back pocket.

Just ordered the LG Renoir but its been 30 mins and not tracked on quidco yet.

My first mobile was a Nokia 6110 (the original one, not the new one) and I customised it with a flashing LED aerial. It didnt have interchangeable covers, but I took it to bits and sprayed the cover metallic blue. . ahh those were the days.

Just got the nokia 6500 slide on £20 per month contract, tracked and validated 20mins later at £150 bargain :):)

my first phone was a sony erricson brick

don't remember my first phone it seems a long while agp

I too have been asked to fax the proof of address and then it will be delivered...

cheers

Aj


@kian1

as said earlier if it has not tracked pls cancel and re order..till today midnight..

my first phone was the erriccson 'brick' with the flat plastic bit that changed the cover colour - it had a one line digital display meaning you had to scroll across sms to read them - taking ages!

First mobile was a Motorola whose number I don't recall but it came with two garish rubber covers - one in dark blue, one in red - and a hard cover in Mustard - those were the days of REAL style, bad style!

I ordered mine last night and no validation from quidco.
Do you think I should cancel and re-order?

Ok, they wanted a letter with proof of address and they wanted me to fax it across, dont have a fax, they then advised me to scan and email - I dont have a scanner.

Cancelled it all, but wrote this anyway in case anyone was having a similar problem at the credit check stage - its best to give them a call.

For those concerned about ordering through Orange, have at look at Beepy (on Quidco). You get an immediate £40 cash back and can still order an Orange phone.

Whilst you will NOT benefit from Orange's online £5 per month discount ie You'll pay £25 for the Canary 25 deal I mention above, the "Upfront Cashback" deals are very attractive. Upfront cashback means sending Beepy your first fully paid bill (ie your 2nd orange bill) at which point they will send you the entire cupfront cashback - so it's not like those "send every third, fifth, square rooted, prime numbered bill at full moon intervals to receive a proportion of cashback deals.

As I have just received my son's second bill, I'm just about to send it off dor my £135. Wish me luck.

The Beepy "upfront cashback" deals seem very good value with Beepy if they work. My son's phone is a very fancy HTC Diamond. The deal (Orange) was £25 per month for a dolphin 25 then the £40 Quidco cashback which I've already got, then the £135 "upfront cashback". This works out at £17.71 per month for a rather spectacular phone.

If I'd gone directly through Orange, with the Canary £25 tariff, I'd have had to pay bucket loads for the phone (which was free through Beepy).

They are worth a look.

Just placed an order around 4.00pm. Had an e-mail from Orange saying that they were doing a credit check. Checked my E-mails 10 minutes later and the order was confirmed with a second e-mail from Orange. Just checked my Quidco account and the payment for £150.00 has been validated! Fingers crossed!

Markro, thanks.

Currently on the phone with Customer Services now...something about the credit check has been 'stuck' in the system - watch this space

quidco , pls ave a look in my account. it hasnt validated yet. pls see if i will get this cashback of need to reoder before tonite.

UberKiwi
No - my email began "Thank you for choosing Orange - we've got your order." Then had an order number and delivery details. No mention of a credit check at all. We'll see if it's delivered as promised!
All in all, for me, a very easy, quick and satisfactory process so far...

Watch this space...

Nokia something or another! A brick either way.

Reordered and the cashback has validated! When reordering there were different screens than I had seen before (eg choose a delivery date, cost of delivery) and when I phoned up to cancel the first order the lady said it had got 'stuck' at the credit check stage but that the new one had gone through fine. Seemed very efficient, and thanks for the advice ajaymp!

Uberkiwi -- my email order confirmation last night had the paragraph

-----------------------
checking your details
Because you're entering into a contract with Orange we need to check your details before we can set up your account. Your details will be processed within 48 hours and we'll confirm the outcome via e-mail. Remember, we'll need a signature on delivery.
-----------------------

The order I placed today went straight through, and the confirmation email is quite different. Might be worth giving them a call and asking if it is going through, and if not cancelling and reordering...?

I also got the error taking money out story - emailed them & no reply after 24hrs.

Called them this morning & was advised if I completed transaction on phone it would track from Oronge so I cancelled the order with the intention of reordering online.

Since this morning though I cant order as system keeps telling me I've timed out at checkout.

All seems a bit fishy but maybe I'm just paranoid.

I ordered on Monday 11th and then received e-mail saying they were doing creditcheck, which is showing on my Experian file. Sale validated just after that. Have heard nothing since ~ phone was scheduled to arrive today ~ wondering what to do next? Don't want to ring them incase it then doesn't validate.......has anyone received their phone yet??

Damn pressed enter too fast.

At the moment I am validated on Quidco @ £150, have receieved the above email - but havent heard anything else since I got that email on Tuesday evening.

Marko, which email was it? The one starting like this? :-

Hello xxxx ,
Thank you for choosing Orange - we've got your order.
We're running a credit check and we'll let you know the result soon. Until then, your order isn't complete and we will not charge you or process the Direct Debit mandate.

My order's just been validated!

@ shaunuk
The returns period is only 7 days. I asked them via their online chat thingy, and they confirmed 7 days.

Hi everyone, just as clarification to some of the questions that have been raised in these comments, the information we have been given is that if your order tracked at the correct amount but you've been asked to speak to Orange Customer Services, it is because they need more information for the credit check. We've been advised that in these instances, the Quidco cashback will be honoured if the order is completed in this manner, even though it is via telephone, as long as the phone is connected.

Some folks have expressed concern with regard to previous transactions. We would ask members to look at the tracking stats for this merchants, which show 94% tracking successfully. Of the remaining 6% which became earnings enquiries, 87% of those were successful. That means that overall, 99% of the transactions made through Quidco with Orange have been successful. We hope you'll agree that's a very good record!

Having just bought a phone from orange, as detailed above, I have already received the confirmation email from Orange AND the deal has tracked at £150. All within 15 minutes or so...I'm in danger of being impressed.

I wasn't aware that orange were doing a credit check, it must have been pretty instantanious.

My first mobile was a fat Sony Ericsson - can't remember the model number, but we are going back some years now.

The world has changed and all four of the family are now mobiled - in fact I've just updated my daughter's mobile today, buying the Sony Ericsson C902 on the Canary 25 contract via Quidco (of course!).

Bearing in mind that Orange offer an immediate £5 per month discount when you buy a monthly contract online and including the £150 cashback on offer until midnight tonight, effectively I am buying a 24 month contract for 400 minutes, 500 texts and unlimited free calls to other orange numbers, which retails at £25 a month (24 x £25 = £600) for £330! (24 x £20 = £480 - £150 Quidco cashback = £330)

£330 divided by 24 (months) = £13.75

A £25 a month contract for £13.75 ....BEAT THAT!

Hi i've just ordered my new contract and got the Order Confirmation page at the end of it all but when i called them up they said there had been an error with the delivery charge and that they wanted to put the whole order through manually. Now i'm waiting for someone to call me back as i'm sure if they put it through themselves it won't track on Quicdo. Here's hoping it's worked.....

i've cancelled mine

No I havent Kt37uk, its an absolutely shocking service, I have mine booked in for Monday but im betting I dont get it - im considering just cancelling and going elsewhere.

Has anybody actually received an order from them yet? I placed mine on 11th and I am sure delivery was set for today but so far only had the order received email that they are checking my credit and nothing else.

@davidmeredith

I think you should cancel and reorder.as quidco tracks within 15 minutes for most ppl..

If it has not tracked may be your browser did not accept the cookie for quidco..pls accept thye cookie after you finish ordering and when it gives you orange number..

hope this helps..

Ajay

My first mobile was a nokia 3210. Great phone which I kept for about 4 years

My first phone was a Nokia 3310

Many a school lesson ignored for a game of Snake!!

Mine has validated but as yet have not had a confirmation email from them , i trust if the confirmation email with no hitches is recieved after the deadline (midnight) they may not honour the cash back? at least there is the 14 day returns policy to fall back on .

First phone was a Panasonic G350 - looked like a snicker with an aerial!

I also ordered late last night and had an email confirmation of the order but the cashback is not up as having tracked yet.... should I cancel and reorder before the midnight cutoff?

Advice welcome please!

I had an email last night saying the order had gone through but no signs that it's validated
:(
First mobile was a huge BT Cellnet thing.

good cashback! just seeing which phone i want now. my first phone was a panasonic that was blue! seems like an age ago!

On the phone with them now - he's doing it manually so it'll be interesting to see if I loose my £150, which was the only reason I decided to buy this in the first place! We'll see....

How long did the credit check take Ian? Im still waiting for mine to be approved...

I've had an e-mail confirming my order has been placed, and the delivery fee has been taken from my bank account as well. The £150 cashback has been validated today, I placed the order last night.

Mine was a siemens c25, wasnt the ringtone on tht done by pete tong or someone?

mine didn't seem to track and not had confirmation either - ordered on tuesday

I had a NK702, on Orange. £15 pm for 15 mins, bargain. This was 1997 and everyone thought I was sad for using text messages. How things change...

Nokia 3210

having real trouble with orange website, keeps saying there is an error when trying to checkout, i wonder if too many people have been buying through quidco!!!!
tried at least 40 times today

Hmm...

So far no one has reported getting confirmation from Orange that they are going ahead with the order !!!

interesting situation...

Ppl update plz ,,,

@stevenglass

Now I understand and am sorry to hear that!!!

Aj

This is what they are telling me, problem with credit check and cant get the 3.99 out of my bank for some reason! Not trying it again, will stick to my old contract i think.

My first phone was the Nokia 3310. It was the phone that everyone ended up having at my school and it was held in high regard fors its Snake II capabilities and the interchanging covers.

Everyone also changed their operator logo on a regular basis from bluebolt. Good times.

Was actually a really good phone. Lasted me a very long time until it was replaced for just being REALLY old.

The Sony Ericcson K800i I have now is the only one thats really come close to it in the future.

Hey AJ - I didn't cancel it, I phoned them and they said it hadn't gone through due to a problem getting the £3.99 delivery payment from my bank. Checked the bank, plenty of money in it, but they didn't attempt to get it out, so I confirmed with Orange that the order wouldn't progress as I wanted to carry out the whole thing on-line ("only applies to transactions completed wholly on-line") in order to be sure of getting the £150!! Tried it again, same problem....Seems to be the same problem KAWALJIT is having...

I too got the email to give them a call. Was then told that my credit card had been declined. My orange quidco was validated, however I also cancelled my order, as there is a much less chance of getting the £150, I think.

i had the 3210 too, loved snake!

Good old Nokia 3210 - classic )

@Stevenglassy,

Am I missing something here??

if it validated at the first instance why did u cancel and then re order???

Sorry abt the credit score ..

Aj

I've had the same problem. Validated straight away, but e-mailed to contact them. I called and was told they could do it over the phone, but I didn't want to do that in case the £150 was withdrawn. SO, I did it agin. Validated again, another £150, same result. Phoned again, confirmed the order had been cancelled, and DID IT AGAIN..... This time not good. Failed the credit check instantly - obviously because experian are wondering why someone would order 3 contract phones in a day.....

This was for a present, but my contract is up for renewal so was going to get one for myself as well. Unfortunately, my credit score is now shot to pieces so I won't get a phone from anyone, AND the mortgage is up for renewal in Feb!!!!!!!

Way to destroy me Orange lol!

Mine validated straight away, had an e mail from them to gt in touch, have to wait n see.

My first mobile was about 7 years ago,a freebie from barclay card, a nokia I think, nice little phone in comparison to then.

I picked Monday 17th as a delivery date, can anyone clarify how long the credit check takes?

Anyone has received the handset so far???

PPl who logged in their orders on the 11 th should get standard delivery today...

Pls ler us know..

cheers

Aj

Mine validated on a Samsung soul with minutes, I also got the email stating that the credit check is currently underway - this was on Tuesday evening, havent heard a thing since - im starting to think this isnt going to work...

i have tried twice to order over the net, and both times orange have emailed me to tell me it has been cancelled but they do it over the phone. im thinking its not going to work!

Some sort of candy bar shaped Motorola with sticking out aerial on One 2 One network - for phoning and texting it worked perfectly well!

3310, still works though

The underated Nokia 8210. Like carrying around a small breeze block but worth it!

I cant remember the model but mine was a black brick with a sticking up ariel, I paid £100 which was a fortune, think mine was an Ericsson.

Sony Ericsson C905 is the best phone on there for Orange.

Can get 200 mins and unlimited texts for £20 if wanted on upgrade, with a free phone

I bought my first mobile from a mate for the princely sum of £10 It was a Motorola BRICK (well with some of the names they have it could actually pass) -akin to the "Motorola Timeport".

It had the must-have (not) feature of a 1-inch aerial sticking up at the top of it, as was the 'sleek' design that so many older Motorolas suffered from! My younger sister, like all the cool kids, had a Nokia 3210.

Not long after I got it I started to wonder if these mobile thingymajigs were such a good idea as all of a sudden you were pretty much considered always available to the person texting/ringing you. And now people treat them like baby blankets and can't be without them (me included on a part-time basis, I leave it in my bag on silent half the time). Ah well!

Of the Orange choice of phones, the LG KS360 appeals to me as it looks like a good design and it has a QWERTY keyboard. I'm a geek like that. I have a soft spot for the Nokia 6650 Slide Black though.

I obviously started late! When I finally moved on from having a pager I got a trusty Nokia 3210, swiftly followed by a 3310 like the rest of the world Happy to have an HTC Diamond from Orange now!

i jus got myself lg secret at 20 a month for 12 months. effective cost is only £90. lol

Philips Cellnet PAYG circa 1998 - 50p per min - ouch! But was still working until recently when I forgot to use it once in every 6 months and the contract expired

nokia 5110 brick as well!!

whenever i place an order it says to contact orange customer service they want to validate details. When i call the customer service representatives say that order was canceled and they need to place new order which will invalidate quidco. Is this some orange trick to scam you into a contract and they invalidate the £150 they have been known to do that be aware of that

Had a motorolor flip phone its was the bees nees lol i remember it flashing low battery while it was on the desktop charger........

ahhh them the days

My first phone was a Philips Savvy - on Orange amazingly enough.

my first phone was the first motorola startac - and was ribbed endlessly by my mates who called it a girls phone because it was so much smaller and lighter than their bricks...

the n96 looks promising, but the best phones orange have got are the samsung omnia and n96. both have built in gps and wifi. the omnia hav windows mobile 6.1 on it which is useful if your the business type.

NO MENTION THAT IT DOESNT COVER BUSINESS TARIFFS WHEN YOU CLICK ON THE QUIDCO LINK TO THE SITE. not impressive.

my first phone was a nokia 3310!

My first mobile was a ericcson cant remember the model but it was a brick.

Definately Quidcon.
Should be on the Upgrades too

My first mobile was an ericsson - can't remember the model number it was back in 1996.

quidcon !

My first mobile was the Ericsson A2618s.

Orange validated the £150 within 20 mins of me placing my order.... that's £200 they owe me now. I'm not banking on getting it though tbh.

nokia 3200... it is still working till now, but don't use it anymore

I had a nokia 6210... great lil mobile... quite classic actually

My first phone was a Motorola C520 on Orange. So glad phones have moved on!

Mine also was a Motorola and it was huge!! It must have been about 15cm long and was quite narrow. That was back in the days when phones were just phones!! You couldn't even text i think on the phone i had. That was 12 years ago when i was 16!

i was so happy when i was old enough to buy my own. Nowadays i make sure i have the nicest phone i can get my hands on. I'm a phone tart!!!

1st phone was a nokia 3210

Hi all, my first phone was a Philips ce16x and i've still got it and ...drum roll...it still works Its pretty big but i loved the large number pads and the way it fits you head rather than the mini ones now. The first time i used it, I spoke into the number pad..like a walki-talkie much to my friends very amused fits of laughter!

mine was a motorola about the size of a brick!!

Oh the Nokia 5110 brick, what a phone it was...

Well ordered SE 595 and quidco tracked immediately...

Please use internet explorer while ordering as othyer browsers blocj the cookie send by Orange to quidco...

Hope this helps..

a NEC phone,i dont remember he's number or name! lol..

I had a unknown model of phone first before replacing it with the Nokia 5110 on Vodaphone PAYG. Great phone back in 1998

My order has processed straight away , even the first one that had supposedly failed, i was sent a confirmation email, but looks like waste of time. Shame really as the contract is still good, new LG viewty, £20.00 per month 200 mins and unlimited texts, but it doesn't taste so sweet without the little pile of money that would really help with both daughters birthdays and our weddind anniversary in dec before we even get to Christmas !! Lol bad planning I know!!

Typical!!!!
I ordered a SE W595 contrat phone on Sat,it arrived this morning and they are now doing £150!!! Should of waited a coupel of days for the extra hundred quid,lol

Really? So i wont get this cashback on the upgrade contract?!

Thats a bit of a joke to be honest, its still a monthly contract as the wording says

does that mean the new business contract I've just ordered won't track? I'll have to cancel then. Bah!

where does it say this offer isn't applicable to business orders?

I put an order in yesterday Tuesday midday but still havent even had an email from Orange - looks like their order processing systems haven't improved since I was last with them. Haven't even had an email confirmation. Any bets on it going thro just after the quidco expires???

Anyone upgraded using this offer and had it validated??

Would be helpful if the wording was clearer then as it is a new contract when you upgrade , but obviously you are still with the same provider. It shouldn't really state "all contracts" Have just ordered one and from what you are saying Quidco my cashback will not be honoured!

My old faithful Nokia 3330. Cool, sleek, reliable. I miss her every day...

i had a 6110i

Hi all, in answer to some of the questions asked in this blog, the cashback offer applies to new contracts purchased via the consumer store only. It does not apply to upgrades or purchases made in the business store.

i had a Nokia 6210!

My first phone was a huge Motorola used to carry it on my belt in a yellow leather pouch !

Looks very good on there but am wanting to know also if it applies for upgrades on Orange contracts.

The wording "all contracts" means that they should be honoured so I think ill upgrade by Midnight

My first ever phone was the old Phillips Savvy haha, shocking but done the job back then

Cancelled yesterdays order as had still not tracked although orange did have it on their system despite failure notice at the time. Am about to order again, but wanted to reiterate "simoness" question
Does anyone know if this applies to upgrades on orange as well?
I reached the end of my 18 month contract and although I could find nothing to say this only applied to new customers, when I rang orange guy I spoke to and his supervisor hadn't even heard of Quidco and thought they were a telecoms sale go between !!

I had a Motorola with pull up ariel. The damm thing took 4 AA bateries and had to be charged nightly. After that I had a philips Savvy then a nokia 3210, I loved my nokias but currently have a samsung tocco as i didn't like the n96.

Some old Nokia - can't remember for the life of me what the make was...it makes me cringe now though!

I ordered the Dolphin 25 contract at 13:00 and it's just tracked and validated at £150, says payment due Jan 2009, fingers crossed!

My first phone was a Nokia 3310, still got it somewhere, they're indestructable!

My first phone was a white Alcatel with Virgin. Many years later and loads of phones I still have my same phone number, wonder if that's worth anything?

mine was a siemens s3 with the longest antenna ever. still remember that one

The £150 cashback for this deal has tracked for me already! - was only yesterday that I ordered. Wow, very impressed, thankyou so much!

The £150 cashback for this deal has tracked for me already! - was only yesterday that I ordered. Wow, very impressed, thankyou so much!

Mine was a nokia 3210, loved that phone.

Like others mine was the Philips C12 on BT Cellnet, followed by the Savvy. It's still around somewhere...

I had a siemens phone with a bendy antennae that you pulled up which was really a little bit of wire with a nobbly bit on the end.

Great deal from orange though. Just got another contract. Thanks Quidco:-) ??????????

Motorola Microtac from 1992...I've still got it somewhere along with most of my other phones! Have been with Vodafone all that time and have just got my PAC. The future could be Orange.

My first Orange phone was a NOKIA 7110 AKA MATRIX phone , also had the WILDFIRE personal assistant service that orange supplied!

Don't remember the model number but it used to be called Nokia Brick

Nokia 3210, how things have changed!!

OMG my first phone was a Motorola flip phone that I got on a really good contract in about 1993 with 02 I think. I thought it was the best thing ever and that I was so cool - the darned thing was huge by today's standards - I sold it at a carboot sale this year for £2!

First mobile I had was a Motorola M378 I think was the model number. Quite a hefty phone - well compared to the models on the market these days! lol Anyway pretty much the whole family had one as we didn't have a landline!! We had markers on them so we all took the right phone.

I have been looking at an Orange contract but have never been on contract before always Pay as you go. I am a little worried about going over my allowance without realising it and having a hefty bill. Do you get warning texts or anything like that if you are about to do so??

Does anyone know if this applies to upgrades on orange as well?

I placed my order last night for the Samsung Tocco. Quidco says its been tracked so I hope it goes through!!

My first phone was a BT Cellnet thing. Not sure if thats the model though, thats all I remeber about it! It was free when you signed up to the AA, back then I was a bargian hunter too!! Although it is easier to get bargains with the likes of quidco these days!!

Order I placed this morning has validated. Anyone else having any difficulties, or had their order status change in any way?

First mobile I had was a Nokia 3210. Moved slowly up through the series before moving onto different manufacturers.

another philips savvy owner here. my dad still had it in the glovebox of the car until recently but it won't charge anymore!

Quidco,Pppl who availed last deal..

Please clarify about the orange cash back..

@Weeksygirl...

As other ppl mhave mentioned It should track immediately,if there is an error please cancel it and do it afresh...

Ajay

my first was a motorola on bt cellnet like a brick but you could use AA batteries in it if it went flat !!!!!!!!!

We have gone for this yesterday afternoon but it has not yet tracked - there was an error on the website when I pressed order, but the order went through. Should I wait and submit an earnings enquiry or cancel and re-order before the offer runs out? Any thoughts please!

my first mobile was passed down to me from my husband cos he was on a business contract with orange he got a new phone every year it was a nokia 3210. Some great offfers available online with the £150 cashback would be fantastic.

my first phone was a nokia 6120

just got my son a samsung omnia - his ipod touch now seems to be getting dusty as this can do both.

the old brick was never mine, hubby was first to go for a mobile!

My first was his hand me down, a sony something or other..I don't care it worked!

The first mobile I owned was a Siemens on One-2-One when it first launched. Standby time was about 4 hours and there was a design fault with the battery clip, so it kept falling off.

However for work on-call I used a "transportable" - size of a briefcase and twice as heavy.

Be very careful. I took out a contract with Orange the last time they were offering £150 cashback in July 2008 and they have refused to honour it - and no, they will not let you cancel the contract. I have also had to call them most months to check the bills because they are non-itemised. So far, I have caught them adding £3.50 every month for not having a Direct debit, when I had already set up a DD. They also added another monthly charge for roaming without my consent. When I complained, the customer services guy said that texts had been sent offering 2 months free followed by the charge unless I sent by a "stop" text. I said I had not received the text and he conceded that they were not sure if the texts had actually been sent out so gave me a full refund. I only spotted these "extras" because I have been very careful to not exceed my allowance each month.

Too many people mentioning they havenât seen their cashback from Orange ... anyone from quidco can say something? It would be a good deal ... if honoured... but if it was the same deal months ago and it wasn't honoured than I tink quidco shouldn't advertise it on the first page (if they know that usually it's not honourea) !!

My first phone was a Nokia 3330 - it had Wap so I could surf the net anywhere ... very very very slowly that is.

I started with a black Maxon 3204 on Vodafone. Think I picked it up PAYG at Tescos for £30... Now looking at an iPhone 3G, but this offer certainly turned my head.

£150 cashback, new phone and only paying £20 a month for 200mins & unlimited texts - bargain

For anyone who has just taken out a new contract and have now found that they could be £150 better off, you have a standard 14 days cooling off period in which you can cancel your contract with no issues. You can then reorder through quidco and get your £150...providing it tracks and validates of course!! Hope this helps.

First phone I ever had was the Phillips Savvy. The thing was indestructible - not even a tank could dent it!"


Snap Xpander, im still using mine.

My first phone was a Nokia 5110, the BIG phone with a Long aeriel. If I try comparing it with my current phone its probably 10 times bigger.

My phone mobile was a motorola brick - used to set off the exit alarms in shops when I went past them.


Question on the Orange £150 - does it include mobile broadband ? also is there a better offer on the broadband than £15 a month for 18 months ? Seems a bit expensive compared to 3 mobile.

Philips Savvy for me too but Hubby had a brick Motorola.

Remember sitting next to the tree at christmas and we rang him while he was sat on the sofa, hilarious!

My phone was a virgin pay as you go Nokia 3310, I was so pleased with it at the time.

my first phone was a nokia 3310

The Nokia 5110 on Orange - The days of Snake, my record was 1404 on level 9!

The nokia nk402 from Orange... a rebranded 5110.

Can't see how they can do £150 cashback especially if I only go with a £15pm contract - essentially I'd get a new phone and a year of use (unlimited texts) for £30 if so ...

Anyway, my first ever phone was a Nokia 101 back in 1992 or 93 with an addon rubber duck aerial instead of the flimsy thing they come with.

a vodfone branded rubbery thing with a 3 foor protruding wire ariel

My first was a Nokia 3300

Motorola here also size of a brick,weighed a ton.

My first was a big ol Motorola with a front bit on a hinge that you would flip to access the key panel. The pinnacle of technology it was!

Free cinema tickets would be lovely!

My first phone was a Panasonic phone on the old BT Genie network, which was the size of a large brick. Which was great as it had buttons that fit your fingers, I find the buttons on the new, smaller phones far too small and fiddly to use. I still have the phone lying around, saving it for Antiques Roadshow or to show the Grandkids who will no doubt laugh their selves silly at the size of it.

First phone was a Nokia 5110. Seems to be a classic for a 1st.

My first phone was a motorola brick phone on whatever Tmobile used to be called. Funnily enough it is still lying in a drawer somewhere (I really need to stop hoarding things). I did this last time round and was refused a phone but the cashback was paid to me for some weirdo reason. Not complaining here.

Nokia 7110 was my first ever phone, the one that looks like the phone in Matrix. It was the first to have many new features, among them is WAP, Snake II and dynamic memory for contacts, calendars.

My first phone was a Nokia 3100, given to me by my Dad on my birthday (:

My first mobile was the Ericsson T10 - the nice pink one!

My first mobile was and Ericsson T10, nice flip phone.

my first phone was a phone. How amazing eh

My first phone was the D500. It is the best phone that I have ever used.

Signed up for new phone (free) at £5 less than current contract and cashback has been validated already!!! Kerching!!! Thank you QUidco!!!

My first mobile phone, was a Nokia 101 candybar in 1992!

wasabi

Can someone tell me if this covers sim only pay monthly?

Mine was Nokia 5110....

Good handsets but depends upon quidco tracking ...

can more ppl share their experienced about last time...

cheers

ajay

My first one was a nokia 8210, was one rugged beast.

Oh, and my first mobile was a Siemens C10 - it was a like a brick, but I thought I was so cool

Just ordered the Mrs a Samsung Soul, shes been after one for some time now - top bargain there Quidco, thanks a million

Motorola MR30 from memory. A beast of a machine

M0torola

.

Is this cash back is guaranteed? The last time orange offered £50 they refused to pay out! Can Quidco guarantee that they have secured this deal with them personally and they will pay out?

I had a motorola brick as well! Can't remember the model number but it was big, on orange, with terrible battery life. No predictive text in those days either! Probably about 9 years ago now.

I was thinking about taking up the eeepc plus mobile broadband offer - but don't know if they would track this as part of this £150 deal?

First phone was a Panasonic G350 - looked like a mars bar with an aerial!
I still use another more recent Panasonic every day.

IT was a philips phone for CPW - with some deal meaning they'd take it back after a few months without having to pay the rest of the contract ... .oh the good old days!

My first phone was a Philips Diga with a fake slide operation. The screen was about a centimetre square. It was on Orange and I got 5 minutes of off peak calls free. Looking back it ws awful but quite hi-tech back in the old days.

My 1st mobile was a Motorola a.k.a. Brick! But at the time, I was one of the first people who got a mobile phone in high school, and I thought I was the bee's knee's! It was on the Orange network, PAYG, and cost about £50. Problem was, none of my friends had a mobile, so I had no one to text! XD I think texts costs about 50p back then!

Mine was a Nokia but cannot remember which one.... but it was huge

My first mobile was a small red and yellow plastic tomy mobile that rang when you pressed the buttons!

First had a Motorola M301 on Mercury one 2 one as a student in 1994. Free calls in London off peak which was unheard of in those days. The best tariff for a Londoner back then in my view. I *think* there are a very few people still on that tariff today although T-mobile have done their best to change the plan enough to make most of them change....

My first phone was a nokia 5110, best phone ive ever had!!

Always been a big fan of Nokia's! Anyone remember the 'matrix' phone? I had one of those bananas back in the late 90s

nokia 7600 on three. was square lol

my fisrt one is nokia 8800, My dad give it to me when he upgrade his mobile!!!

A Nokia 5110 on cellnet - quite similar in size to a fridge!

i had a nokia the size of a brick, but it was the most reliable easy to use phone ive ever had

mine was nokia100 smart some 14 yrs ago

Mine was a 5110 on vodafone, a mobile that never broke!

Ericsson A1018s on one2one, got it free with 30 ring pulls from Coke...

Great - just ordered a c905 on the racoon35 tariff.... My first mobile was some cellnet pay as you go brick. Don't know its name, but it was one of the first with texting.

Nokia nk702 on Orange - totally reliable, no fuss. They don't build them like they used to...

I had a Motorola phone on the Mercury 1-2-1 network. If anyone still remembers them, they were big grey âbricksâ with flips and an aerial that pulled right off!
Mercury 121 biggest selling point was the fact they had Free evening (7pm-7am) and weekend calls completely free to local and surrounding areas landlines. At the time anyone living in London thought this was a dream come true as they could sit around all night/weekend chatting to their friends and loved ones for absolutely free. This made 121 an overnight success in London and I still remember most of my friends (all students at the time) all being on this network.

But Mercury 121 success was also its downfall. Too many people had subscribed to their network (oversubscription) and for such a new network, they didnât have the infrastructure to support it. So what happened was people were joining all the time and the quality of the network service suffered with all these people making free calls. Calls sounded distorted, they would cut off and as for their customer service it was near enough non-existent.

A Sony little black phone with a flip down speaker stick, state of the art at the time and going for a fortune on Ebay now!

The Coca Cola Ericsson A1018, £30 plus thirty coke can ringpulls.... scavenged from the common room at school in about 15 minutes....

My first phone was a big brick of a nokia- I had a special cover for it with a bit that flipped down as an attempt to make it cool!

it was the nokia breeze block 00001

My first mobile was the Nokia 5110. Trouser pockets were bigger back then.

I was living in Spain in the early 90s. I think our first phone was an Alcatel or something like that - it was a huge brick with a massive aerial, certainly did not fit in your pocket, and took two of us to carry it!

I am now fondly remembering the Motorola StarTAC... my first, and still my favourite phone. Those were the days...

My first phone was a Philips - no idea what model but it was like a brick! I liked it though )

My first phone was a Ericsson T18 (a few years before the joint venture with Sony) and I liked it very much.

My first phone was a Nokia 3310

Mine was a LG flip phone - forgot the model number - used to be sleek and store a lot of contacts.. still have it ... but dont use it...

The Classic Nokia 3310.

My first was a Nokia 3410... hated it

My first phone was a Philips Savvy with Virgin Mobile. You could only read one line of text at a time due to the tiny screen and the phone was really heavy! I stuck stickers on the back to try and make it look prettier. Didn't really work though. My second phone was a Nokia 7250i with Orange Mobile and I've had it ever since. (Yes, that phone came out years ago.) If it ain't broke, don't fix it!

my first ever phone was a sony erricson. i don't remember the model number but it had tetris as a game which was a bonus. it was probably about the same size as the original gameboy to boot!

and first mobile was a samsung

my first phone was a phillips savvy, but I was so jealous of all my friends that had phones with changeable covers, that I repainted mine using enamel paint from my dad's model kit, so that it was a cool, britpop union jack design (at least I THOUGHT it was cool!)

use O2 and fine with the broad banddeal

My first mobile was the Nokia 5110, the first phone with changeable cover... i guess nowadays people just change their phones instead.

My first mobile was a gorgeous little nokia 3310. It was simple to use and absolutely boosted my social life because we constantly texted each other during class (sorry, Mrs O'Malley) planning all sorts of fun stuff for the evenings and weekends. My mum inherited my 3310 and uses is to this day! Shocking huh?!!

nokia 402

Some old Sagem with 2 line 8 digit display!

mine was a nokia 3210...

is this count the sim only solo deal.wow that will be a catch....

my first phone was a nokia brick so heavy u knew u had it in your bag also no way would fit in pcket with the massive antenna
got it for fiver or dirt cheap thru local paper in about 1995
thought i was the best being first of friends to have one not much good as noone ever phoned me

Mine was an O2 brick before O2 began (can't remember what o2 was before or the make) . I used to weight lift with it in my bag. You wanna see my muscles from carrying that brick but was so useful when my front tyre burst! Then I went upmarket to a sagem- never again!

Motorola V3688!
It survived even after I accidentally had dumped it into the washing machine.

Nokia 3310, no camera, no colour but had snake. You could drop it down the loo, in mud, against a wall and it would still work.

Mine was a Nokia 8310, she was a humdinger!

Mine was a Motorola. I can't for the life of me remember what the model number was but i like to (affectionately) call it the Motorola Brick.

the nokia 3210, ahh what fond memories!

motorola brick
still got it aswell

First phone was the 02 X1, whose sole redeeming feature was that it could record video...

My first mobile was Nokia brick

My first phone was on cellnet, and was a huge brick (1994).

Am gutted about the £150 cashback though, as have only just taken out a new orange contract (Friday last week)!!!!!!!!

(cries over her keyboard)

My first mobile was a MERCURY!!!! Very big, very heavy, funny aerial, and had no reception!!! I was gutted it had to go back! This is a great deal!!

My first mobile phone was a Phillips C12, similar to the Savvy. It was very sturdy and quite large but kept on working and working! I could make calls, receive calls and text....WOW. I only changed it because I had to.... 02 stopped supporting the C12 , so I had no option but to get a new phone and I got a Motorola Clam phone, it did not last any where near as long as the C12. I now have another Motorola.

my first phome was a Sagem something - it had no real functionality except calls and texting, but I'm pleased to say things have got better - I now own a SEK800i.

Hey amc262 you probably didnt get the £50 as Orange only pay £5 on PAYG and not £50.

Not sure of the model of my first mobile which i had in about 1995 but it was a Motorola and it was massive with a big ariel on the top, it didnt even fit in a coat pocket, if you wanted to take it anywhere you needed a bag lol

My first ever mobile phone was the strong and sturdy Nokia 3310. It was a really nice piece although a bit on the heavier side. I bough the 6500 lside on PAYG from Orange but they failed to honour the £50 cashback offered so I highly doubt theyâll honour £150! Yet my best wishes and good luck to potential buyers.

My first ever mobile phone was the Nokia 3310. Wasnt much to look at but she was sturdy, reliable and loyal. PLUS it had the BEST version of snake of all time! Oh how i miss her so...

Hi, i've just ordered a blackberry curve, so hope i get the cashback. My first phone was an old Motorala flip phone, i loved at the time.

I've been trying to remember what is was for ages now. It was about 1995 and I think was a Mitsubishi T9 although I can't find anything on the web about it. I changed it after a year to a T11.

Quidco, the Orange page says £20 for PAYM SIM cards - for spending £1 on a SIM, are you sure!! Should it be 20p?

A hand-me-down Nokia 8210 I think. The kids have it as a toy now.

i had one of the really old ericcsons! absolute brick with an aerial it was lol!

My fisrt mobile was a huge transportable phone from Martin Dawes communications it even had a curly wire from the base to the handset and a nice rubber antenna!!

Mine was an Alcatel that had an aerial that you had to extend. Think it was on Vodafone...

my first phone was a motorola c12 it looked like a brick and it's only ringtone was a simple ring ring it weighed a lot too.

Mine was a Nokia, I think it was the 3510 and was with Vodaphone.

Does this offer apply to phones via the Orange business shop? The phone I want isn't offered on their consumer shop.

I ordered this offer last time it ran in July - i had no problems at all, the order tracked in no time and i was paid the £150.

Glad its back again so i can get a great xmas present for my Brother while im a bit skint and get £150 back to cover most of the contract . Ordered it this morning (Nokia 6301 on the £15 plan) and its tracked fine, "Validated £150"

I guess just the few that didnt track last time posting, as a few friends got it last July when i told them about the deal, as far as i know those worked fine... or they would have been moaning at me by now!

So i'd say go for it, i cant see a better offer around! Cheers Quidco and Orange!

p.s. my first phone was a Nokia 6150... absolute beast but it had snake

A motorola brick!

mine was phillips bt cellnet brick!!!! calls cost 99p per minute & top ups lasted for a year rather than the usual 30 days!

mine was phillips bt cellnet brick!!!! calls cost 99p per minute & top ups lasted for a year rather than the usual 30 days!

Anyone know if the cashback also applies to the mobile broadband/laptop offer @ £25/month ?

BT Cellnet Philips Mobile Phone i had lol
it had 2p texts i wish i still had it

My first mobile was a Sagem DC820. Has a wonderful loudspeaker. Still have it today,

First phone was some dodgy nokia brick, which I found ten years later when I joined the ambulance service was still their weapon of choice!!

Hope this tracks as have just ordered a purple viewty for 20.00 a month as new contract with orange. Could not find anything stating it was only for new customers so hope they honour it!

It was actually a panasonic, very big and square with big ariel didn't see any offer for me on Oragnge page but will go back again early in new year.

My first phone was a dodgy Alcatel on Virgin mobile. Looked like a cow and had one line text display. how far we have come!

nokia 3210 - cant beat a good bit of snake action! the original not those new versions with mazes and all sorts!

Can't remember the exacy model , but it was a sony mobile phone, very bulky and knowhere near the level of technology on todays phones.

Nokia 6120c was my first phone, lived without one for years then decided i wanted one and barely used it.

My first phone was a Nokia 5110.. back in 98 or 99.... had a friend custom spray paint the cover in two tone metallic colours!

My first mobile was the Nokia 7110. I thought it looked so cool pretending I was in the Matrix

My first phone was a big massive brick lol, it was an Ericsson which we got to take camping with us. When we got to the site we didnt even have a signal so couldnt use it.......typical hahaha

My first phone was a nokis 3210 i think.. u cud change the case on it. How cool did i think i was?!?! lol!

My first mobile was a couple of tin cans tied together with a piece of string-still working well!!
Didn't see any on offer on Orange site though!
John Logie Baird

my first mobile was phillips savvy, it was big and heavy.

First phone was an Ericsson - the one with those 'trendy' clip on multicoloured fronts (that fitted over/around the numbers) which never saw the light of day!

I had my first phone when I was 16 (in 1998) It was Ericsson GA628 it was one of the thickest in the world,one line screen not even a clock function in it. I was teased a lot as it was shown to stop the cars when places under the tyres In 1999 some of big derby games it was restricted to enter the stadiums with it as referees sufferred a lot guess why :) (in Turkey ) hhehehe

This is similar to the offer in July. We were told that it would take a few month to track and it was show as £90 not £150, but not to worry. I query this 12 weeks later to be closed the time for raising a query was no closed, however, Quidco have re-opened this for me. It's now November 11th and i still haven't received or heard anything back. I would still go for this if you are ready to apply for a new contact anywhere, after all you actually have nothing to lose.

Yes, a lot of people mentioning they haven't seen their cashback from Orange, looks like they entice you into a nice new contract with a nice new phone, JIT4C (Just In Time for Christmas, I might add), with the promise of £150 cashback. Then you figure out you're locked into a 18mnth contract with no sight of and cashback, and I doubt you can cancel your contract due to lack of cashback, ooooooooh very well done Orange

Nokia 3210!

I had a phone once, it was a fully customisable Ericsson; as in you could change the coloured ring around the arial and the background colour on the keypad. I fell in a river when I went fishing and it was in my pocket so no more phone...£150 very tastey indeed, I'm off to catch a deal - get it...

BTW, am I seeing things or have the clocks moved an hour forward as the forum states I posted my last message in an hours time...lol???

Quidco...set your clocks properly...lol

mmm...looks a good offer but I'm far too wary that it might not track going by other comments and I can find way better offers should it fail to track.

Very tempting but not worth the risk as £150 is no small amount.

Thanks anyway.

Oh, my first phone was the first Motorola Flip and I loved it as I was the only person with a mobile that I knew so I looked cool - so I thought - even though it looked like I had a giant cockroach stuck to my ear...lol

First phone was a Sony J5, loved it!!

Ericsson T18 with handy to break external arial that lasted a few months!

Gonna have to talk to the other half about taking up this offer, if i can convince her not to go for the iPhone!

oops sorry, new to all this, pressed submit comment too many times- can someone remove the repeated posts please? sorry for leaving things untidy!

Still using my first phone - Sony Erricsson k800i
Its a Beaut!

Hi, thank you so much for another great offer - just ordered a samsung something or other (not very technical minded so already forgotten the model, but great to find it on £15 per month contract as I've been using an old samsung for a while and just love the interface, more intuitive than my last three nokias.

My first phone was a phillips savvy i think, the display only showed two lines of large print text, but the biorythm calculator amused me far more than it should have.

My daughter is frequently ill so I have been waiting to move to orange for ages for the good customer service we experienced with her pay as you go phone.

thanks again Quidco and Orange!

My first and ONLY is a Sony T630 given to me by a friend.

Erricson with a little flap covering keys - it was very good phone!

FIRST ONE IS NOKIA 7360 ON ORANGE.

mine was an Alcatel phone I had while on Uni placement in spain in 98.

Mine was an ericsson one with a funny shaped ariel, clear buttons and one line of scrolling text for its display - i remember when i set up my handset for the first text i sent and received, it was ground breaking stuff!

Looking back though, my handset was pretty nifty for its time )

It was the nokia brick that everyone seemed to have, first one that I still remember the number for was the nokia 3210, can't even think how many mobiles I must have owned by now!!

My first phone was the Nokia 5110 on Orange, it was a big step up from a pager. At the time SMS was cutting edge! Before that I remember my dad had one of those huge grey Motorola things, like out of Beverly Hills 90210! Hoping to win these tickets as I want to see Burn After Reading. Going to let my brother know about this 150 deal. The new HTC with the 5 megaspixel camera will be right up his street.

Cheers

..or was it just an ericon?? It was 15 years ago whatever it was

My first phone was a Nokia 3510, on O2. Not great coverage in Bristol!

sony ericsson k something ??

My first phone was an analogue thing way back in 93 - had an aerial at that was the best thing about it!!!! Was huge and weighed a ton!

I really cant remember what make it was, my parents bought me it from a supermarket and it was a brick (in 98 around that time) and analogue aswell..... no picture messages or texting back then lol.

Glad to say Ive moved on from the dark ages... just about lol.

Mine was also a PAYG Motorola handset (can't remember which one though) on Cellnet (which I think is now O2?)

First phone I ever had was the Phillips Savvy. The thing was indestructible - not even a tank could dent it!

Mine was a Motorola Thing, with pull up Ariel, but not as bad a a brick, it would just fit in my pocket... oh them were the days when they were new and it was a novelty to ring some one who was sat across the other side of the canteen because you, could! or when a vibration made you smile as it was all so new. Now i wish the dam thing would not beep at me with phone calls, sms, email, diary requests or low battery... Grrr.... that its im putting my ring tone back to "round the twist" or the "West Wing" theme tune, sod the work etiquette!

wow my word - my first phone was something done by BT Cellnet, it was a huge monster!

Seimens C25 - the one with the funky ringtones.....classic

was needing a new phone so really hope the 150 quid cashback is honoured - the deals are good too, I've gone for 200 mins + unlimited texts for 20 quid a month which is 15 quid cheaper than I'm currently paying!

My first mobile was a company mobile in 1996 - a Nokia brick with the pull up aerial and buttons even the fattest of fingers could use easily. I knew nothing about texting then but am a serial texter now.

Nokia 3210!

Ericsson t20e
Flipping fun

My first mobile was a Nokia, but i hated it - not the phone itself, but the fact that it was company issued, which meant they could easily contact me whilst i was down the pub at lunchtime !!

my first moblie was nokia black and white one can't what phone it was snakes on it!

My first mobile was the Nokia 2110 in 1995 - strangely enough also on Orange.

My first mobile was the classic Nokia 3210 with Snake to burn time in School Classes!

My first mobile was the Nokia 5110. A bit of a brick but very easy to use.

My first phone was an Ericsson (not a Sony Ericsson!) R380 smart phone.

My first phone was a nokia not at all swish like the ones now i thought it was great because it had the snake game on it

I used to have a motorola flip phone. It was a bit of a brick but worked well and had an extendable aeral.
My Dad had one of those car battery type phones. Couldnt complain about the weight as he could pick up a UK phone signal in the north of France.

My first mobile was a Nokia 3210!
Ever since that, I've not gone back to using a Nokia...

My first was a nokia, pale blue and that annoying ringtone made famous by C4's Trigger Happy.

My first phone was a Motorola M301 and it had a huge aerial!!! I recieved the £150 cashback the last time this was running so would be great to win some cinema tickets though.

Nice looking Nokia 6500 - loving the sleek lines on that. My first phone was a Motorola brick - literally it weighed the same amount as one of those black bricks they used to throw down to the bottom of the swimming pool for you to retrieve for your silver lifesaver award and had about the same functionality. 10 years pass and now we're onto phones with technology that would've looked space age at the time.
