Any experience of nocostmobiles.co.uk?

Does anyone here have any experience of buying a phone from the companies advertised on the nocostmobiles.co.uk website?

They basically have 12 month free contract phone cashback offers where you get all your line rental back. (yes, all of it!)

The companies include: phonebox direct, mobile outlet, mobile rainbow, phones2u direct, onestophponeshop and coolnewmobile.

I have noticed that some of the 'companies' are just trading names used by the same company.

I have had cashbak offers fron dialaphone before which did give me my money back, but I have never heard of any of these companies before and wondered if anyone on here had good or bad experiences with them?

Some of the deals do seem to good to be true - but then I once got a vodafone offer from dialaphone where they gave me all my money back paid me £60!

I think they are legit, They just know that most useres will go over or stay with them I think?

After doing a fair bit of research, I signed up for one with mobileshop a few months ago - Haven't had to claim any cashback yet (that comes at month 5 of my contract), but all the documentation makes it sound pretty straightforward.

I honestly think they just rely on some people forgetting to claim the money (or some people claiming at the wrong time).

Lots of these online phone companies are part of the same group - ie. e2save is owned by Carphone Warehouse and I believe that phoneboxdirect is part of phones4u. So as long as you pick a reputable firm (and understand how you have to claim), then you should be alright.

Just to update this thread, I got phones from PhoneBoxDirect and CoolNewMobile (both companies have the same cashback claim address) and they have paid out the claims just fine.

One word of advice to potential customers: You need to print your cashback claim forms from their website, and fill them in with order number, cashback amount, and all sorts of other information which you get sent in an email when you place your order:

My advice is print the forms straight away, and fill them in straight away while you have the information to hand. If you lose the order number or cashback amount or any other relevant information you are basically screwed and can't make the claim.
