mobile contract comparisons - I'm confused!

Hi everybody - can anyone explain this to me?...

I've been looking at mobile phone contract comparison websites as my contract is up for renewal, and the thing that's cofusing me is this: the contracts I'm looking at are described as having £25 a month line rental, but an average monthly cost of £8.69 (for example).

Well, which is it? Or is it both, so the monthly cost would actually be 33.69 a month (seems more likely). Then it also mentions £391.36 cashback. Surely that can't be taken at face value?

Thanks in advance for clearing this up for me!

    Its a cashback deal no doubt - you pay £25 a month for say 12, 18 or 24 months.
    You claim back the cashback and your average per month will be £8.69 as long as you do the cashbacks within the t&c.

    Post a link to the deal on offer or describe it in detail - if you want further clarification from people on the forum.
