Viewty on 12 month contract with 9 months free - cashback deal with M2YD

Good spot - But I hate these cashback schemes. They are all a big con if you ask me.

Good find though!

i think it is dependent on your budget that how much you can spent on your mobile ?
well suppose if your budget is near about £ 150 then i will recommend you npkia n 73 & in sony ericssion k810i well both the mobiles have the same featured mobile the difference is just only on its memory
nokia n 73 you will get it 42 MB & you can expand it up to 1 GB
but in SE k810i you get 55 MB memory &expandable up to 512 MB

It is if you buy a payg mobile. However, if you are on a contract, it is your opportunity to get the best handset you can, for the lowest monthly cost.

..I like the nokia 5610 XpressMusic in the black red design --it looks like it came from the set of a star-wars film :rotfl:

Nikki, the n73 has been available for less than £100 for some time now, and both that and the k810i have memory card slots which will take way more than 1gb. And if you had read the previous posts properly you would have realised that PAYG prices are not applicable as the OP is on contract. Could I also suggest that you use some punctuation and grammar in your posts.

John - I have used cashback schemes in the past and they have worked out fantastically cheap, but in the past couple of years they've just gone downhill and it is extremely difficult to get your cashback so I no longer use them. I was and still am involved in a fiasco involving a certain company known as MSols. Look at the mobilerainbow thread if you're interested in what happened there! Anyway, M2YD is owned by the phones4u group, but this doesn't seem to equate to them behaving more reputably, as other threads in this forum will show. So basically I would second your advice not to touch cashback schemes if you can avoid it, but they can be done properly and are not usually just a con.

I realise this mate but in todays climate they have made it as hard as possible to actually get your cash back. Martin was on TV this morning talking about these deals.

Personally, I would pay a little more, to avoid confusion, stress and hassle. I realise that maybe everyone can't afford to pay more, but then maybe they should lower their expectations and get a chaeper phone in the first place - They are around.

You're absolutely right. I should know, I had to sue my last cashback company (mobile rainbow) and I still haven't had all the money they owe me, from December!
