Just got a new contract with Dial A Phone.......it offers cashback in 4 stages........month 4,8,12 and 15, but the contract is a 12 month contract so how do I claim for month 15 cashback when the contract is for 12 months?

    the contract is endless, the minimum term is 12 months

    no idea how you provide a 15 month bill without retaining the contract though

    You have to stay on the contract for at least 15 months - that's your 'effective' minimum term. Personally, I wouldn't go for any contract that tried to extend the tie-down period like that :P

    They will pay the cashback at month 15 but you obviously can't end the contract after month 12 in order for this to happen.

    Well, that is ridiculous. Its a 12 month contract and it says 7 months line rental. It doesnt say continue your conttract for another 18 months or anything. but just 7 months free line rental on 12 months contract. They CAN'T make anyone fools by trapping customers into these games as I have contract and no where does it say about saying for 18 months to get last cashback.

    I bought a 3G phone from Dial-a-Phone with rebate that was paid on the 6th, 9th, 12th and 15th month after sending the rebate voucher back to Dial-a-Phone. My contract was only for twelve months like yours gtz101.

    They gave me up to 12 weeks to post the rebate back and in all fairness I had no problems with the servive even after I cancelled my contract. Hope this helps.

    so you cancelled your contract on month 12 of your contract? and you got cashback for month 15?
