quite a few of these deals going about, 12months free etc on a 12 month contract.
places such as e2save, onesstopshop etc.

They're good deals but money is done via vouchers and cashback (normally) just remember to cancel in writing 30 days before the end of the 12th month otherwise you will have to pay for at least 1 month after the 12 month contract.

so in theory then you could take out the contract, get the free phone, sell it on ebay, keep the sim card and use the free txs and mins each month, and then cancel on the last month??

You will still need to pay the monthly tariff.. The cash back will be done by redemption as follows.... I think...

Cash back claims

Cash back claims are available to customers by redemption that subscribe to a brand new 12, 18, or 24 month service agreement. Cash backs are claimed by sending the original claim form that we send to you by email when you purchase your handset, and the original airtime bill that you receive by post from your network operator. We do not accept copies or online bills.
Redemption Procedure - check below
£10 to £100 claims

Cash backs are claimed in two equal instalments.
Instalment 1: - Send us the claim form and original monthly bill that arrives showing you’ve been connected for 4 months. I.e. if you were connected on the 1st of January, you need to send in the bill that is dated around the 1st of May. This is 120 days (4months) after connection.
Instalment 2: - Send the claim form and original monthly bill dated 360 days (12 months) after connection.


£101 to £200 claims

Cash backs are claimed in three equal instalments.

Instalment 1: - Send us the claim form and original monthly bill that arrives showing you’ve been connected for 4 months. i.e. if you were connected on the 1st of January, you need to send in the bill that is dated around the 1st of May. This is 120 days (4months) after connection.

yes you can but you've also got to be sure your on time with claiming your cashbacks and cancelling your phone, sometimes I've found it very difficult to cancel a contract as some you can do over the phone (but then it doesn't happen) some need you to write in / fax in.

But yeah by in large unless the 3rd party supplying the coupons / claims go bankrupt you should get a cheque when you claim for your cashback.

Or simply phone in to orange, 3G or whatever 30 days before the end of the contract and ask to cancel and 9/10 they'll offer you another deal etc.

But its all about timing

oxymore

i've heard that it's very difficult to claim back the cashback with some of these website promotions! has anyone had any experience of this website?
