You really are a dangerous individual! Given that quite a few mobile suppliers have gone out of business, leaving the customers on "cashback" contracts hundreds of pounds in the lurch, having multiple phones as you are suggesting is madness to be honest. Just try not using the mobile so much and have ONE phone not FIFTEEN for goodness' sake.

There is no such thing as a free mobile,a cheap watch,or a offduty policeman.

Hi

I've been thinking about taking out a few contracts but 15 that sounds a lot, I was wondering how much do you actually make from them, the contracts with a free phone and free line rental are usually cheaper mobiles and not worth as much, so what's your stratagy if you have one?
I mentioned this in another post what effect do you think this have's on your credit rating with a credit chect done every time you take out a contract.

why would it effect my credit rating? well i do manage to sell my phones, in a year period ive made £500 just by sellign the phones + loads of money recomendign myeslf or partner to get the phones....... and its just a load of freebies......get to use the sim card for free,,,make money on the phones + referrals + cashback via net orders.

i am in a similar, although not as drastic situation. I only have 4 phones, although one is for my sister and one for my dad (both 12 month free deals) - i can only afford the ongoing line rental for 4 . They are all with CPW owned companies and i've got all of the cashback so far. My phone is the Nokia 7600 12 months free, and the other one is the D500 12 months 4.99 (sold the phone for around £200).

Like tammy i have used the 'refer a friend' or rpoints to generate some extra cashback so at the end of the day it is safe (as safe as can be with CPW). I'm just glad I didn't have another foward cellular contract.

Its always tempting to get another when a good deal comes around but I would have too much to pay back a month.
