Another 'too good to be true.....?'

I have seen a couple of sites offering phones on 12 months contract, with all 12 months free. I phoned one up to check that I wasn't misreading it, and they confirmed it (your money is rebated at two-month intervals). So as long as you keep within the allowance each month, and cancel at the end of the year, as far as i can see you pay nothing over the year. Where's the catch - this surely is too good to be true?!

    HI Mate
    these companies rely on you not adhering to the T&Cs EXACTLY to the letter, See the various threads for each of the providers. If you are willing to put up with the hassle, you can get a free phone and totally free line rental.....assuming the provider doesn't go bust before the end of your contract...LOL

    I hope it isn't tgtbt - I now have 9 contrac ts running all on 12 month free deals, plus several for friends and family who I'm guiding through the claims at regular intervals! Get a degree in studying it all though - companies, terms AND feedback (recent AND older!).
