Used FC a few times and they were faultless - however there is a thread on FC at the moment querying whether they're still around - so perhaps better to wait for a resolution to that thread. As for OSPS - from what posters say they're good but have more hurdles to jump to get the cashback and its spread thro' the contract where as FC was/is pretty much upfront.

Still waiting for my cashback and it's been 7 weeks since they received my claim. Regardless of whether by some miracle they sort this mess out I will never use them again. As the saying goes " Past performance is no guarantee........"

I'd stay away from OSPS, see here for more details:

OSPS is now offering some remarkable contracts, but with much slower cashback and more stringent conditions attached to their sales. Their CS staff are also rumoured to be quite abusive.

There are some reviews on pages such as:

osps does payout the cash back due but one must adhear to the conditions exact or they will not pay be warned read the threads from last year, lots of us got all the cash back and some did not. F/C do pay much quicker usally on the first bill, but like the above poster said there is some concerns at the moment really down to you to select the option you feel best.

DO not choose fwd cellular as they are not replying to anyone or giving out cashbacks.
