Spotted this this morning and looks like a decent deal. I bought this phone in December for £90 during a sale & using the primenow discount after being quite disappointed with the Smart Ultra 6 (Yes, the SU6 has superior specs but I found lots of niggling issues re. build, hot battery, size, unstable OS, non removable battery, etc).
Very happy with the Swift and it's been a great upgrade from my 2014 Moto G. Biggest selling points for me:

Who cares? I've never contacted a company about a phone (or anything else really) after purchase, can't see why I would and I certainly wouldn't use facebook. One reason that I use Giff Gaff is that they don't have a number you can call up, otherwise a bigger part of what I pay them would go to maintaining something that I don't use, there's also no chance that they'll call me up and hassle me.
I don't want companies to "interact" with me or act like my friend...that's just creepy. I want them to give me the product then shut up and go away forever unless I need them again, if and when I do, I will contact them.
What did they say to their customers anyway? It was probably funny and just sensitive people having sense of humour failures.

This is a function of the phone unlock security. The numbers appear in a random order each time so no one can guess your pin from smudges on the screen!

Was £99 during Christmas, surprise to see it hold its price after 3 months.

For sure, I'm glad I managed to snag it for £90! This cashback offsets the persistent price and makes it a little easier on the wallet. :wink:
From my experience these past few months I would absolutely be OK paying £130 for it.

got this on `grey thursday`. great screen, great build, super battery life. never had dual sim before but found it useful. I'm on ee but was hoping to use 123 sim in slot 2 but it isnt 3G so settled for voda. wileyfox cs is shockingly bad so not sure how i`d get on if it goes wrong. lack of protective cases is a real thorn in my side and although they now have their own case available, reviews are poor. also found that when i set up a pin to unlock, when someone calls it doesn't identify the caller even if they're in the contacts list. must conflict with cm12? ships with truecaller which is a revelation, no more spam calls. camera is also good having a sony 13mp sensor.
daughter has su6 and although great its just too big for me and the build quality is not a patch on the wfs.
in summary, excellent value for money and should easily last a good few years if the cm updates are available.
Good deal, Hot! It's such a shame about their CS. This is company we all should have been behind and supporting and would have been had they not been so publicly sh1tty towards their customers on FB from the beginning :-(
