My friend Adam works for p4u.
I left him a VM regarding this.
I don't see how 25% of 4months bills equals £400.
Anyway, the deals are always a little complex and if you miss a deadline you lose out. He said (when i was taking my contract out) on average they pay out to about 20% of people. The rest lose out!
I'll keep you posted.

Thanks dude, reps for the efforts so far ;)
Wicked :D
I love reps :D
I'll try sort something out for you. He may be able to hook you up with a better phone/deal but you'd have to give him the money and he would send it to you. That is not a definite and you might not want to do that.
Either way I'll make sure you get a proper answer about the deal... Bump this thead tomorrow if you haven't heard anything by then :)
