    Two choices - if you go to church and confess your sins, they give you a mobile - if you are lucky.

    The other is that you take out a contract from a cashback reseller and you pay the full contract price to the network. The cashback reseller will then, at specified intervals, repay you sums of money that they agreed.

    That is it in theory - I leave it up to others who will spell out the pitfalls.

    Some previous MSE contributors wish they had gone for the first option.
