    Just ordered this deal with the Nokia 2600 with Carphonewarehouse.

    Am extremely happy with the phone, is rock solid,doesnt have any additional toy like features(I dont need video editing or fancy ring tones and other toys to keep me occupied since I have a busy job anyway)
    Neither do I need a phone to show off.

    However if you like a phone that is unflinchingly reliable, starts up very fast,and does not hang(My old nokia smartphone was a nightmare on all 3 counts) then this is ideal.

    1)One needs to cancel the 99p/month itemised billing, can call Cpw to do so.

    2)Also ask for bills to be sent to you by email,saves hassle if a bill is lost in the post and you need it for the cashback.

    3)To make sure that you dont forget the cashbacks send yourself an online email reminder on the date, yahoo and a few other online reminder services will do it.

    Some companies only allow two cashbacks per person.
    Make sure you don't order three from the same company.

    Everyone who does these deals - MUST read and print and save the full terms and conditions and ensure they understand them.

    You need to make photocopies of your receipts and bills so you can send off more than once.

    I will be sending off for my first cashback in June - so I am negative until I actuially see if its works.

    How does everyone post their cashback requests?
    I was thinking registered post and insurance for the £150 cashback and ensure it is signed for at the other end - so that they can't say it was lost in the post or received after the 28 day deadline.

    Hi there
    I sent all my cashbacks by registered post.
    It cost a bit more than 1st class but then
    you know that someone has got to sign for it
    at the other end. I think it is 97p.

    thanks

    :j I always get my son and myself a free phone each in december and try to get the best deals such as free line rental as you still have to pay the VAT which you don't get back, so it makes a great xmas pressie and you spread the cost over 12 months, then reap in the cashback. hope this is helpfull to anyone. T:xmastree: merry xmas



    Pls be nice to all MSer's
    There's no such thing as a stupid question, and even if you disagree courtesy helps.
    Tomorrow never come's as today is yesterday and tomorrow is today:confused:

    MERRY CHRISTMAS FELLOW MSer's:xmastree:
