Looking at contract on mobiles.co.uk

Saying 15 months half price line rental, just wonder how this stuff actually works and what traps to look out for, seems too good to be true.

Any of you guys have experience with this?
 
I'd presume it'll be some kind of cashback deal - they often phrase it in this way (i.e. X months free or half price line rental) to show you the effective savings.

You'll not actually get 15 months at half price but will pay the full whack and then claim the cashback at specific times. Providing the retailer is reputable and you adhere to the (often strict) terms of when and how to claim, you can make a killing.

For example, my current 18 month contract (ending next month) cost £30pm for 400mins & 500texts. I then claim cashback in five lots of £96 after months 6,9,12,15 & 18. The effective overall cost to me is £60 or £3.33 a month but they'll phrase this as 16 months free line rental instead.


Yeh i noticed that u need to send bills at specific times. Have u actually been paid back ?
