    This deal has been around since May 05 (see here) - I bought one then but you only had two cashback redemptions. I submitted my month 6 cashback voucher on Thursday and had an email from Mobileshop on Friday to acknowledge receipt of voucher and to expect payment by mid January (it takes 45 days per T&C). I have also had £20 from them for referring 2 friends onto the deal. The deal was better in the early days as you had a choice of the Sony Ericson (which is blue tooth) or the Motto. My OH had the SE and I prefer it to my Motto.

    Mobileshop have been around for ages, see the links to the other threads in the above posts.

    Re annual returns being overdue, this is a fairly common experience for many companies.

    With regard to these free line rental deals I think some people are nervous of them. They think they sound too good to be true. They are not, but you have to know that you are disciplined and organised enough to claim the cash back.

    As you will see from previous threads I have done this before with www.chatterbox.com. I took out two phones/lines and they paid up quicker than mobileshop for the cashback (literally days after receiving a copy of my latest bill). I have had a free mobile and calls for a few years now but these deals are getting thin on the ground. I don't know if I would do a deal that requires claiming cashback every 3 months as I may forget and you only have a short window to claim each time.

    If you do go for cashback deals make sure you mark your calender, diary or set a reminder to alert you to the deadline a week or so before. Keep all your bills even though most deals only require latest. Finally look for reviews of the company you are dealing with.

    i've got that deal from mobileshop.com, they are really good, also you get money for reffering ppl as well, they are quite generous usually about £10-20 a person, so all in all its cool, but you got to remember to send all the cashbacks on time!
    No one said it was gonna be easy!
