http://www.dialaphone.co.uk/kelkoo/b...2ftb45ywkclmvv £1.99 for 7 months then £30 thereafter for 5 more months as a 12 month contract, am i right in thinking that thats all there is to pay, i was thinking there wasnt until i saw this...

A cynic's interpretation would be it means they've given themselves plenty of 'wriggle-room' so, although it looks like they will, they'll never have to pay any money back.

The way is works is that you PAY THE FULL LINE RENTAL EVERY MONTH and return specific bills to the company every so often. They then send you a Cheque which is how they advertise the stupid-low Line rental deals. You usually get a short window to return your bill and many companies put so many Terms & Conditions on the offer that it's very easy to miss out. Carphone Warehouse/e2save are usually OK but basically; You pay the full line rental each month. Some people can't/don't want to stretch to the full £30-£40 each month - even if they might get a Cheque a few months down the line that kinda balances things out. What sort of contract were you looking into? Minutes, Texts? We're a friendly bunch, we might be able to point you somewhere better.

Ooo, shouldn't this be in the Mobile Phones forum, not Landline?
