Best current mobile phone contract offers and who to get them from?

Options
Hi.

Having just been stiffed by T-Mobile not sticking to the contract verbally agreed over the phone (similar story to other people on the other thread), I'm looking to switch. Ideally I'd like to keep my existing number so it looks like I'll need to switch network. I don't care too much about the phone, I just want a cheap contract.

My usage is somewhere in the region of 600 off-peak minutes (x-network) per month and 75 texts.

I've followed the MSE article on comparing deals but frankly find all the various comparison sites are not great. The information they provide is usually sketchy at best (although they are a million times better than the mobile phone deal websites themselves that seem to try to make it impossible to find the best deal)

Currently the best deal I can find are:
thephonespot - Orange Racoon 35 cashback deal: 600 minutes+500 txts working out at £6.55/m

Has anyone found anything to beat this? I'd also like any feedback on people's experiences with getting cashback from cashback sites.

I'm not under any illusions - the companies don't want me to redeem the cashback so will make things difficult. I will be asking for detailed confirmation for everything regarding it and maintaining records. However, I'd like to know that if you jump through the hoops, how reliable are they on paying out and whether the hoops are worth it.

Alternatively is there any way to get close to the value of cashback deals?

Thanks
