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

Why not pick a tarriff you can afford then sign up via one of the cashback sites and at the very worst, you'll only pay what you were going to anyway. At best you get it for a lot less......0
