After a contract if I can get it quite cheap - say if it works out at £10 or less a month, especially if I can get a reasonable phone. Anyone know any good sites to look up these kind of deals?

I have been looking at the E2Save.com website and I see that I can get the N80 on O2 for £7.50 a month with 800mins and 500 texts which seems good. Are there any difficulties or anything I should be wary of in regards to sending off the bills etc in order to get the cheque back with my cashback?

If anyone who has done this before has some advice, then it would be most appreciated

Cheers,

GW

The cashback offers are becoming more and more strict in terms of what they want you to do to claim.

It's now common to see them insist on seeing all of the pages of all of the originals of all of your bills for the claim period, with the caveat that if you fail to meet any of the criteria, you lose all of you money with no chance to appeal.

If you think all of your bills are going to arrive in the post and you think you can stick to the criteria, then go for it. My bills have a habit of going missing and I've had so much hassle from mobileshop.com messing me about that I'm looking to not do a cashback deal now; instead I'm going to go with the network provider and try and negotiate a decent deal direct.

If you're going to do one, check the terms and conditions very, very carefully and follow them to the letter...as otherwise your bargain cashback deal becomes very expensive if you miss out.

There are a large amount of horror stories on here about basically every company's cashback schemes, but I found those from e2save and dialaphone to be the best. The smaller cowboy outfits tend to have the most extreme terms and conditions and be the ones that most people complain about.

Thank you for this, this is a very interesting case (and one that I though might be in the offing after the unfair bank charges ones have worked their way through the system).

Although it doesn't appear to be legally binding (though I'm more than prepared to be proved wrong), this may start to signal the end of ridiculous conditions to cashback deals.

Depending on what O2 say at renewal time, I may still go for a cashback deal - the removal of stupid T&C would be a serious bonus.

edit: just another thanks to moneysavingexpert.com - this is one of the best websites on the net and always a good read and source of bargains...
