Phoneboxdirect (merged threads)

I cannot find an answer to this elsewhere.

Various 12 months free line rental/free phone etc on 12 months contract offers available from www.phoneboxdirect.com on o2, Orange, T Mobile. According to their information pages, they are trading partners of Caudwell Communications (who also own Phones4U) - looking into this more, the site is run by Mobile Media Systems who appear to be a white label site that use 4uLtd/Dextra (part of Caudwell) as their supplier. Dextra also run www.Jessopsmobiles.com, www.bootsphones.com, www.woolworthsphones.com - these sites also offer good cashback, or Advantage points in the case of Boots, deals but pay up after 7 months according to the t&c. As they are high street brands they may be more reliable).

I see in the Phonebox terms and conditions that for the high value cashbacks you have to claim 5 times in months 4,6,8,10,12 - miss one and you lose any remaining cashbacks as well (which seems harsh!). But, if you stick to the rules, £360 cashback is worth having (12 months free on 12 month contract)... so long as you get it!

Does anyone have any experience of cashbacks with Phonebox please?

Would Carphonewarehouse, OSPS, E2save (I know all three are CPW but seem to have different admin), or Dial-a-phone, who offer price matches, price match deals as good as this (12 month free line rental by cashback)? Answer - probably not as I now see that they may be a white label site rather than direct dealer.

Many thanks
