Cashback? Good Sites/Bad Sites For New Contract!

Hello there money savers!

I was wondering if anyone could help me out?

I cancelled my 30-day rolling contract after 19 months with O2 as I felt I could maybe get a better deal which includes a phone (after mines was stolen a few weeks ago).

I carry my phone EVERYWHERE. I'm not a big talker on the phone though. I only have 400 mins on the o2 contract and I NEVER use them all up. However I've been known to send crazy numbers of texts (700 in a week).

So ideally I'm looking for 200 or so minutes and unlimited texts. Not too bothered about internet as I'm too busy to be wasting my life away on bebo whilst I'm on the bus :rolleyes:! I'm looking to spend about £20-25 max. Oh and preferably an 18 month contract as opposed to a 24 month one!


I've heard a lot about cashback sites where you can apparently get mobiles for much cheaper than buying direct from the phone company. Can anyone point me in the direction of a reputable one and let me know which ones to AVOID like the plague?

I'm actually looking at the Sony Ericsson W995. Although I'd be pretty chuffed with most phones (I actually *like* touchscreens!). I also thought the G1 looked pretty snazzy, although feel free to recommend phones if the price for the contract is good!


Thanks, I know that with you guys' help I'll end up with a good deal :D

    Hi, have a look at buymobilephones.net -I have had numerous contracts with them without any problems. If you dont want the hassle of sending in cashback claims at a specific times forget about the 'cashback by redemption' deals and get an 'automatic cashback' deal. This is automatically paid into your bank account after 90 days.
