Mobile Outlet v Buymobilephones.net: which is the best of a bad bunch?!

Hello all!

Having rummaged through the various threads on the sometimes less-than-transparent operations of the cashback websites, I bravely researched the entangled world of casahback mobile deals.

I have whittled down the possibilities of getting a "best deal" new Orange 12 month contract down to two cashback websites: the Mobile Outlet and Buymobilephones.net.

Before I jump...

I'd welcome any comments/ reviews of just these two websites and any advice on which to go for.

I do realise the risks of cashback which is why the bottom line is that I'm ensuring the tariffs are the most appropriate for me first and foremost, regardless of whether any cashback is forfeited for whatever reason.

Thank you.

Scotty

    Dont know about buymobilephones, but you should take the time to read the TMO thread if you are thinking about going with them......


    BTW I'm currently on TMO and have eventually managed to get two cashbacks....others aren't so lucky.....

    that's taken care of one of the choices. Wait for the nasty surprise from the other when you get your phone.

    Hi Scotty,
    I'm not saying I wouldn't take out another contract with TMO. If you follow the T&C EXACTLY then you should get the cashbacks.....unless they go bust first ....LOL

    My point about reading the TMO thread is that you need to be aware of the ttrials and tribulations you may have to overcome to get them....
