    So basically - Over 12 months on mobiles.co.uk offer it will be £240.00 cash back and they will require bills 6, 9 & 12 - Abit confused - it states mth 8 but in the box it states 9th bill? Also if my contract starts in December and my first bill gets issued say 10/12 - my 6th bill will be in May dated 10/05/11 but it states to send June Bill?

    Sorry cannot paste a link for the cash back offer.

    MS

    6, 9, 12, 15 and 18 bill I think is what you need to send..
    If you got it in Dec - then sixth month for you is June.

    MS,

    As OAD states, June would be your 1st bill to send.

    December 2010 Contract:
    1st claim - Send June 2011 Bill
    2nd claim - Send September 2011 Bill
    3rd claim - Send December 2011 Bill
    4th claim - Send March 2012 Bill
    5th claim - Send June 2012 Bill

    Good luck.

    Neither work on weekends (well half day Saturday maybe) - so you won't get any response till tomorrow and phone earliest Tuesday.

    Whether 'tis nobler to sell and make money for ebay/paypal or not sell.
    Its decent enough phone - I tried it a little bit myself . Packed a bit with all the android stuff - shame its not larger screen but then you have to get the desire (Desire Z ideally - its got keyboard and touchscreen)
  • Hi, Got a question about the dialaphone contract, thought I would add on here instead of creating a new thread. Hope I'm not treading on toes...

    I searched for a contract mobile phone deal through Moneysupermarket and picked a HTC. Dialaphone had the best deal, but when I went to the checkout it said "This offer is conditional upon you entering into an insurance contract, which you may cancel at any time." Is this a usual free one month insurance most people forget to cancel and pay another six quid or so on top of the marked price?

    You can cancel it within 14 or 30 days of start (can't remember exactly) and pay nothing.

    I have had 3 or 4 phones from Dialaphone and the last of them came with 1 month free insurance cover and a 30 day trial of 'gadget helpline'. I cancelled both immediately and found it quite a painless process. I don't know what the situation is now but will probably have to start looking them up as my 18 month contract is coming to an end and I will likely be using DAP again.
