    Hi have briefly read through the old posts on here regarding this company.
    I'm a little confused but it seems as this company has gone down the pan?
    Has anyone received their cashback from this company and if not what options do I have?
    After reading Martin's article on casback from mobile phone company's I double checked the t&c's on my contract and then thought I'd search on here for mobilephonesontheweb.com...............little alarmed to see this company is looking dodgy :eek:

    Any help would be much appreciated :D

    just checked their website which now doesn't exist

    Gone bust a while ago.

    No hope of any cashback.

  • Thanks mates. I got mobile from mpotw .Vodafone they changed my monthly pay from £35 to only £5. its 500 mints x network and 250 txts. thanks for money saving experts.
  • Although it took a while, you're better off than most who were with Mobile Affiliates. Vodafone acted supremely fast based on their experience with Mobile Connections (your dealer) but after initially giving a few the £5 deal they reverted to half-price. Still excellent and far better than the other networks.

    I've recently (5 months) purchased a mobile phone from a company called mobilephonesontheweb.com. Now, when it is time to redeem my first cash back, their website is down, their telephone lines are down and after some research, i found out that their company is in administration. but they are also trying to defraud more people by running other websites like mobculture.com.

    my total cash back is £480 and would request members to tell me my options. if the cash back company goes bust, what is the status of my contract with the mobile company (Orange). can i simply call orange and tell them that it is frustrated because my intentions for getting into the contract were due to the cash back option and because the original company has now gone bust, it is not possible to get the performance as initially intended? if not, are there any other contractual arguments that can get me rid of this contract?

    Thanks in advance for looking and replying as well.

    No, you've done your money.........Orange have nothing to do with mobilephonesontheweb.com.
