Mobile cadhback - can i trust them

i have had pay as you go mobile for several years used to top up £10 every two months or so....now useage going up so thought of contract but wary as Martin's (my new God) article on this came with a warning:

"Encouraged by the mobile networks, many retailers offer big cashback deals. These deals often look too good to be true..." I also heard from someone at work that these companies close down frequently losing people lots of money.

As i am new to the idea of saving money i do not know what to

1) go ahead and get cashback deal.
2 go ahead with a deal with offers the best discount.

as a new money saver i want to go for cash but am worried i may end up getting nothing back. perhpas the experiences of others may help to reassure me and if i know what pitfalls to avoid - i do not wish to take unnecessary risks:o...

thank you
