Who Actually Pays Cashback?

I'm looking at getting a new phone deal and was wondering whether people could recommend a decent company to go through.

I saw www.buymobilephones.net, but after searching on here they didnt exactly get very good reviews..... Can a few people please recommend a trustworthy company or two?

Thanks.
A bargain is only a bargain if you would have brought it anyway!

    Thanks, I saw that...but most of them date back 18 months, which is a long time ago for this kind of deal.

    If its any help, Im with themobileoutlet. I have had 2 successful cashbacks. My first arrived after 56 elapsed days, without intervention from me. I prompted TMO to pay my second cashback afrter 29 days had elapsed following receipt of my claim, but I got it a couple of weeks after the prompting. It would be ideal if they arrived in the specified timescales but having said that it wasn't too much hassle on my part.

    there are plenty of threads on here about how good/bad several of the companies involved are at paying cb.....just read, digest and make your mind up....you pays your money and takes your chance - as we all do, based on research and gut instinct.

    avoid phoneboxdirect and any company that uses "Mobile media systems Ltd" as the underlying company. At the very least make sure you use recorded delivery for all cashback claims.

    avoid the mobile outlet, they change terms and conditions mid contract with no notifications or any communications at all!
