Too Good to be True... ?

Hi all,

My wife's contract ends next month (currently with 3). I have used the compare sites that Martin details. The best deals seem like the 12month contract that is payed back in full... thus 0 cost... But this seems too good to be true ? Are these really any good.

    I've been doing this for 4 years now and had 100% cash back (So far!) stick to big companies, I use CPW and its subsidiaries (E2SAVE and Onestoppohneshop) not good if you are not organised or cannot afford the risk of non payment financially.

    Read the posts on this board about the problem people have had!

    Also read the T&C in detail.

    For example the OSPS cash back terms for Price match phones seems to state if you miss one cash back you lose them all!

    Quidco, selling your new hand set on ebay or on holiday in Asia can help offset the cost of a contract, most contract phones from some retailers are unlocked.

    There are fewer £0 deals at the moment there were 5 or so a month ago.
