    It ain't that hard to get the same bundle and make a larger profit.

    It's complicated. For example:- you will know WHEN you claim, but you are quite likely to be submitting the wrong bill. You have to look ahead to the final claim; it is also likely to be after the contract ends - which is specifically contrary to a successful claim. However, that may lead you to discover the wrong bill issue. Never take instructions at face value; if they are incomplete (as these are) you need to cover every possible loophole. Even though Phones4u two years ago were superb and you could trust them, the fact that their t&c are now so illusive and that leopards can drasticlly change their spots at the drop of a hat - that alone over at least an 18 month period - should mean that you aren't complacent if you want to be sure you can get your money in every circumstance bar insolvency.

    I've not used buymobilephones.net myself so can't comment on their reliability. The thing that put me off buying from them in the past are their t&c's are much stricter than others i.e. you have to send in every single bill a lot more hassle. Also they seem to be a small company so you don't know if they'll go bust.

    I've been doing cashback for many many years, I've stuck to the big boyz e2save, phones4u etc cashback much simpler process just send in 1 bill each time.

    you can get better than free, you can actually make money. I just bought a pay monthly contract 600mins,500txt,ulimited browsing data t-mobile £25.54p/m for 24 months but after cashback and topcashback I will be in £16.64 profit! (add extra £10 profit if your with quidco)

    Just get organised at the beginning i.e. setup calender reminders in your email yahoo etc when bill arrives for that month just send it off. simpleess

    Where did you get your 600 mins contract ?
