Not sure where you get that logic from. Month 1 is one of six - therefore you would be claiming a month earlier than you've calculated. Otherwise you would be claiming in month 7. Therefore (in your case) month 6 is February, not March. Their example only works where the "purchase" in one month but the first bill is in the following month. That is why their definition is at complete odds with their example - which, in your particular case, it will be! In effect, because of the way your individual dates fall, you are now on the same t&c as E2Save.
Methinks a judge would be amazed that the dealer can't add up to 6 when it has been most particular to define where 1 is!0 -

March is correct, February is not correct in the example given.
Your complacency astounds me, you should read the T&C a bit more.0 -
If for example you bought in january, could you not send in the june bill, july bill and august bill just to be on the safe side. i.e. send the june bill, if they say its wrong then wait till july to send that bill etc. Is this not the easiest way or am i missing something?0

If you buy in Jan, the July bill would be the first bill to use for claim 1.
If you send in June bill, it will get rejected and you will still have time to send in July bill.
But the correct bill is July so don't bother sending in June (in this scenario).0 -

Ok, i'm thinking of ordering from them a 12month contract 2mrw on 16th sept. with delivery hopefully on 17th sept. So would my first bill be February or march?0 -

March.
Its a shame they took away a table from their site which indicated the claim months depending on the month you order in.48 hours later and no response from mobiles.co.uk.
Just phone up (between 9am and 5pm), select "order a new phone" and then just say can I speak to someone in customer services, jump the queue perhaps.
One other quirk for anyone interested in using mobiles co cashback - check your billing date does not fall foul of leap year. My bills on t-mobile are created on 29th of each month but thankfully no claim in February.0 -

Your absolutely stupidity is what astounds me.
People can follow your consitently bad advice if they wish. You've been pronouncing it for long enough so maybe it will stick - to their cost.0 -

You are absolutely stupid!
People should not follow your nonsense advice to send in the wrong bills. Your are complacent and you should read the T&C which you spout on about all the time before telling people the wrong bills to use for cashback claim.0 -
I will take the intelligent route.
I haven't put a foot wrong in 4 years of doing cashback deals. This month we will be making 7 claims, next month 5 and there are 9 in December. When you began spouting about this dealer for months on end, defending their every word (despite the obvious incinerity and all the problems people were having with them) your experience was zero.
With an IQ of less than 6 (since you can't add up that far) I have no doubt that (like advising people to ask for their PAC code whilst giving notice to cancel and converting to a PAYG and saying that is the "safest" way to end a contract!) your complete nonsense will continue to lead people up the proverbial garden... with all your limited and simplistic "experience".0
