OK, so you have to pay £25 per month but get to claim cash back of £150 at month 6 and again at month 12......surely there's a catch with this type of deal?

It'll probably be genuine providing:
(a) you abide exactly by the T&Cs of the retailer offering the cashback (Usually you must claim it within specific dates - they hope you'll forget or get some other detail wrong somehow!) (b) the retailer is still in business at the time to offer you a cashback Note, whether the retailer does or does not provide the cashback, you will have to pay the network operator of all fees you contractually owe them. Oh, one more thing - check them out tomorrow and they'll still probably be offering free connection 'worth £35' together with the remaining deal

Absolutely NOTHING is free with mobile deals. Ever. Everything is included in the "line rental" cost.

Yes but over the last few years, you have been able to get a free phone, free texts, free calls and after so many months between 6 and 12 months line rental paid back to you as a cheque. Also in the past phones4U have given you around £80 cash in your hand at signup for signing up via them. Though be warned a couple of compaines who were offering cashback after so many months in the past have gone bust, so you didn't get your cheque at the end of the contract. |

You have to return the vouchers in the 6th and 12 month of your contract and yes, there are expiry dates on them and it is down to you not to forget when to return these, fair enough. Yes, the offer is usually on for more than 1 day, this is normal sales hype, BUT it can and has been pulled off without notice before too, chances of all the offers to be there still tomorrow are in your favour, but beware as they can and do alter without notice
