There must be a catch. From a quick read it says it's entirely free, am I missing something?

Simon, thats what I thought on reading it - stay within the free 200mins / texts then it`ll cost nowt. Hmmm!

Actually, that's the contract I'm on just now and I pay £30 a month for it

Are these two postings for real?

I noticed them over on the yahoo groups and thought that perhaps gmail has been hacked.

I have had a read through the T's and C's and kthere seems to be no problems the catch however is the following.
You must take out insurance at £5 a month when you buy the phone - free for 3 months and can be cancelled at any time.
You have to pay £30 and claim it back quarterly (it goes into your bank so there should be no problems re credit notes).

i think the catch is that they hope that you either spend more or forget to either claim your cash or cancel the insurance.
