It is on a 18 month tariff, be aware.

Also cashback from zonefone and not Three, so company go bust say goodbye to 
your cashback, and you still have to pay Three 30 PCM.

I really wouldn't bother with cashback deals - people offer them as a way to 
boost revenue when a business is failing.  They use your money to try and 
keep the banks happy and risk going bust a lot of the time.
I think Forward cellular amongst others went that way.

I would agree that you take a chance with the unknown vendors although I've 
only ever actually heard of one company going under and failing to honour 
cashback deals(Forward Cellular, I suspect). But, Carphone Warehouse, Link, 
Phones4You and their other trading guises are all in the cashback deals 
market. Do you think that they're all on the point of going bust? Your 
advice may be a little bit OTT?

If you pay by Credit Card then you'd be covered.

I think you're a little off with that. The only problem with cashbacks is
that you have to remember to send off the bills and have to pay the full
monthly amount each month usually for the duration of the 12, or now more
frequently, 18 months. If you are prepared to do that and don't forget then
there are some nice deals to be had - I would say the criteria used to pick
a vendor would be the same with or without cashback ie CS, support, speed of
delivery, stock etc.

More to the point, it's affiliate spam.  2U affiliates are some of the worst 
spammers of the telecoms groups.

If you fancy a (subdued) laugh, the URL http://spammingwanker.2u.co.uk works 
just as well.

Are you sure??

Thought it was amounts over 100??. 30 PCM does not count.

Personally I have just started another cashback deal at e2save, had no 
problems with the last one also got another great deal.

personally, I regard 12 months free line rental as a bargain. therefore
my post was completely ON topic.

can you find the same offer cheaper? no? therefore it's a bargain by
definition, isn't it?

is it a rule of this group that a bargain is only a bargain if you
happen to think it so..? i can't see it in the group charter anywhere..

i'd be interested as to why you have a problem with a post that
indicates a bargain and is compliance with the group charter?
