    I have had a previous deal from dial a phone and I just cancelled the direct debit using my online banking - then they can't take any money from you!

    Thanks for pointing that out.

    I will make a note in my diary to cancel before a month is up, if orders are accepted.

    It hadn't really registered.
    I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

    How did you pay the contract charges? Thanks.

    I suppose, at the end of the day, if it is a genuine offer, they are using statistics which would likely indicate that a high enough percentage of people don't apply for cashback and don't cancel the insurances. We just need to make sure we beat the system.

    I have done cashback deals with Phones-4-U before, and as long as you play by the rules they pay out very efficiently.

    Who the hell do you think you are? :mad: I'm NOT a liar, this happened with me on a DAP 'deal'.

    I know you are right about the cashback being invalidated if you miss one claim, but if you don't have the ability to send off 6(?) bills in the post over an 18 month period, should you really be using a contract mobile? It's hardly rocket science, I've been doing it since the age of 15 and I manage to cope!

    Doing 'what' since you were 15? Certainly NOT signing a legal contract, I hope. It's not 'rocket science' to understand you need to be 18 for a Mobile phone contract.

    These deals seem to have disappeared from the DAP website....the thread has mysteriously disappeared from HUKD too....hmmm

    I'm starting to get the feeling that there may be an awful lot of "rejected" orders this morning.
