Morning all, hope you are having an enjoyable Friday.

I am looking to purchase a Three contract using a 12 month cashback offer.

The two retailers I am thinking about using are Cool New Mobile and Buy Mobile Phones.net. The offers are pretty much the same, apart from the fact that CNM requires 5 cashback claims while BMP requires 3 cashback claims.

I have naturally read the posts about both retailers, however was wondering if one could compare them, so I can decide which company to use.

Many thanks!!

  • I would recommend CNM. I have just finished all my claims with them and am awaiting my final payment which will arrive soon.

    Also it would seem there are less happy customers with BMP than CNM. Just make sure you have read through and understood all their T&Cs and follow them to the letter before you decide to go for it, whichever they may be.

    Another thing is you get a fiver more going for CNM deal through Quidco than BMP. :beer:
  • Hi, I've just got a brilliant deal by going direct to the three store http://www.three.co.uk/personal/index.omp

    If you take out an 18 month contract, you are only charged £17.50 a month, which seems like a brilliant deal as there's no cash back to claim and if you go direct through 3 you get the deal below

    750 mins & 150 texts every month

    750 anytime, any network minutes
    150 texts
    50 UK Video Minutes anytime, any network
    50 UK photo or video messages
    £5 Free downloads

    There are about 6 phones at present offering this deal, this was the best I could find

    PLUS - if you go through QUIDCO you get £100 cashaback - can't be bad!
  • I can only recommend which one not to use, thats SIMPLY3G. I got the phone with them. Didn't get my 8 months cashback. Well maybe it's my fault. Because i didn't send the bills back in time. But then again i paid all of them on time, via Direct Debit. And the free gift was cr!p. I got free BT headset, probably worth £5 (IF!).

    HERE it is I think..

    I think the 18 month half price line rental are for reburbished phones.. Go through quidco for £100 cashback bringing the monthly rental down to about £12.00
