I am going to get myself a new mobile phone. I am wondering if i should get a cashback one, it is cheap, but i am hearing people having a lot of problems with them OR just get a contract where i have to pay £20 a month or so.

Any opinions?

    I personally wouldnt get a cashback unless its from either Car Phone Warehouse or E2Save as these companies are the most reliable, 3 mobile have good deals where it doesnt involve cashback but you are limited on choice of phone. Either use one of the 2 companies I have mentioned but if you are not really fussed on the model of phone then I would get one from 3.

    Actually, that's exactly my thoughts anyway. 3 has some good cheap deals. My friend on E2Save seemed fine with her contract. but i have reading that other with E2Save do have problems on this thread. What do you think of Dial a phone. I guess, E2Save or DAP are the only two that are on my mind should i decide on a cashback deal.

    Yes Dial a phone are o.k to, a poll on here showed only 8% of people lost cashback with them, though looking at the poll the link only had 5% of people who lost there claims. And looking at the poll e2save did quite badly so you may want to tick them off your list.
