Heres one you might have missed

http://www.phoneboxdirect.co.uk/ (part of phones4U group I think)

are offering either a Sony/Ericsson k300i or a Motorola V220 or a Panasonic X70

for Free with Free Line rental for 12 months (12 month contract) with 400mins xnet and 200 texts on O2 ( reduces to 200/100 after the first 3 months)

Note you pay £30 quid a month up front and get what you have paid back at 4,6,8,10 & 12 month stages

Once you get it, set up Outlook or similar organiser to remind you (Mozilla do a very good free one called Sunbird - I love opensource stuff (firefox user......get very little popups or spyware)) anyway.... just set it up to remind you and off you go. I was talking to someone in the trade who say they base the whole system on people simply forgetting to claim back and they get a contract and an outlet for their slightly older phone models

I bought 2 K300is as they get the best reviews

see http://www.mobile-phones-uk.org.uk/sony-ericsson-k300i.htm

Best Wishes :xmassign:

    I'm looking for just this type of offer but I don't fancy have to go through 5 attempts to reclaim my money!

    Has anyone experience of cashbacks with Phoneboxdirect? As part of Caudwell (Phones4u) . 5 claims seems a lot but if they pay up then some good offers. NOtice in the terms though,
    Where your claim has not been received by us within one calendar month of the required bill, you will not be entitled to any part of the Cash Back offered. Cash back files are closed and cannot be reopened in these cases.

    Miss one claim, lose the lot!
