It seems there are many mixed opinions about the cashback companies. Since 3 retentions are giving me rubbish I think i may have to take another cashback deal.

I've been with phonboxdirect for the past year, it's worked out fine - but there payouts are sooo slow.

So any better recommendations?

Just go direct to 3 then you dont need to claim it back, i pay £17.50 a month for 750 anytime mins, 150 texts, 50 mms, 50 video mins, and £5 downloads, even had a free nokia phone, 1gb memory card, and £30 cashback as the shop put me a reccomend a friend on as well.

That's not the same though. We're talking completely free, not just £30 back.
£17.50 ius a lot per month, when you can get that for £0 a month, or at least £2 a month with the current deals.

Every 3 months you'll get like £90-120 back in the form of a cheque, as long as you send the required documents in on time.

I know someone who got a cashback deal, they went bust a fortnight later, and now it costs an absolute fortune for her. It would have been £2.99pm its now £39.99 and shed use nowhere near that on PAYG.

Take the cashback as a bonus, not a given IMO. If you would otherwise not get a contract phone, avoid.
