Should I get my new contract via Orange directly?

Hello all!

I've had a glance through all the separate threads on cashbacks with various companies. I guess all of them have their problems!

Is there any cashback company anyone would recommend??!!

I'm 99.99% sure I'm going to opt for an Orange contract but wonder whether to just get it via Orange directly rather than through an intermediary website?

Are there any other recommended places to get a better deal than via Orange directly?

Thank you.

Scotty

    Depends entirely on how much time and effort you are willing to devote to saving £300-£400 a year. All of the companies nowadays require you to jump through hoops and do a bit of chasing up now and then. If you are not too organised with dates and bills then don't go for phoneboxdirect, coolnewmobile and E2save price match deals (if you mess up one claim you lose ALL cashback). If you do want to save some money on your contract then try carphonewarehouse because they are a bit more forgiving (note this does not mean you will have a hassle-free time claiming cashback-I'm still waiting for my last one, now 2 months and counting, but it does mean if you mess up there is some room for negotiation). If £300 a year does not make much of a difference to your pocket then by all means go for a direct contract with Orange.

    keep in mind orange give £100 cashback so take a look at what the cashback deal is
    ive always gone through e2save and cpw and as long as your on time and used recorded delivery should be fine, if not depending on the deal you might not be that much worse off
    Yes Your Dukeiness :D
