Hi,

I took out a 3 contract that was connected on 6 July 2006 on a free 12 month cashback deal. I'm sorry to be so dense but I have read that there can be a problem cancelling and not getting the 13th bill to claim the cashback, so was wondering what date I should phone them to cance. Should I phone on the 6 June or leave it a couple of days? Or even longer?

Thanks for any help :D

    Shameless bump :o

    My 12th bill is being prepared tomorrow (8th) Is it safe to ring up and cancel with 30 days notice after it has been done or is there a chance they will cancel the bill and try and combine my 12th and 13th bills?

    I hope someone can help me :)

    I would have thought it is unlikely, as they will need to wait til the end of your 30 days notice in order to generate a bill to include any call costs from the notice period.

    I gave notice yesterday and I was told my last bill would be delayed 2 weeks so as to catch any international calls I might have made in the run up to my contract ending.

    Give them a call and ask them to clarify your situation.

    hi mustbemad...i think hornet_boys is right

    your last bill will be generated about 10 days(i think) after the last day of your contract so as to reflect any out-of-tariff expenditure

    i read in some other forum that the best way to ensure receiving your last bill is indeed to incur any form of out-of-tariff expenditure (eg. calling 0845/0870/0800 numbers, texting an overseas number, exceeding your allotted minutes etc)
