Samsung Galaxy Y - £7.50/24m @ Mobiles.co.uk but only 27p via redemption

First, you go to the deal through TopCashback. That will (eventually) get you a cashback payment of £30.30 if you take out a phone contract on mobiles.co.uk. If you aren't registered on TopCashback, you need to do that first (it's free).

Then, once you have signed up for the contract, choosing the money back by redemption offer, you will pay the bills as normal (direct debit) and claim the money back by sending in certain bills, about one in three. Mobiles.co.uk have a chart to tell you which bills to send in. YOU MUST DO THIS TO GET THE MONEY BACK. You can send the bills in online, as scans or pdf files, and you have about two months to do it each time. Mobiles.co.uk will email you to acknowledge that they have received the bills, and they even tell you if you sent in the wrong one, but they will NOT remind you to do it. Every time you send in the right bill, you get a cheque a few weeks later for whatever the amount of redemption is.

PS- I am old too, but have made this work on a couple of contracts. I am very sharp, mind.

Insurance Cancellation

I cancelled my insurance using the the second link above provideded by blaster ( thanks ). I needed an account number that was sent to me by PhoneCare ( the providers of the insurance ) in the post a few days after the phone arrived.

I was a bit worried about using the first link from blaster as I wasn't sure that the web site was ok.

I received this an email back from PhoneCare explaining that the insurance was now cancelled see below.





Thank you for your recent email.

Your insurance policy has now been cancelled. As you cancelled within 14 days of taking out the policy no payment has been taken from your account.

You also have a Gadget Helpline that is run by a separate company called TMTI, if you haven't already cancelled this service you can do so by contacting them on 08444 772 995 and selecting option 2.

I hope this is now resolved for you. If you need any more help please either reply to this email or call our team on 0870 111 7002, between 9am and 7pm Monday - Friday, 9am - 6pm Saturday and 10am - 5pm Sunday.

Gadget Helpline Cancellation

I use the 08444 772 995 and selected option 2................. gave me post code and it was cancelled in 45 seconds. ( Had to pay a few pennies for the 0844 number


All done an dusted now on to the redemption.


Hope this helps

I'd go for this if it was on O2. Talk Mobile is on the Vodaphone network, which has no coverage here. I am just coming to the end of a mobiles.co.uk redemption deal (24 months)- got all the redemption cheques already with no hassle.

I have been with TopCashback a couple years now, and had about £900 back from various things. The biggest single amounts have been from car insurance (£40-£80 a time) and mobile phone deals (£30-£40), but I have had hundreds in smaller payments too. It all adds up.

once you get your phone with your new talk mobile sim and phone number then resgister here for online billing

talkmobile.co.uk/my-…tml

this is how the cash back works


Please read the redemption info below for a step by step guide to the procedure for claiming your gift.

------------------------------------------------------------------------



------------------------------------------------------------------------

22 Months £0.99 by redemption:


24-month contract with 'Talkmobile Talkmobile Smart plan 250' on a basic monthly line rental of £7.5 per month.



Our Offer:



22 Months £0.99 by redemption

Saving £143.22 (over 24-month period)



Effective average monthly rental - £1.53 (over 24-month period)



Please note: the above calculations are based on the basic line rental and do not include billing.



GETTING YOUR CASHBACK – it's really easy!

(But remember to follow the rules below) Your £143.22 cashback needs to be claimed by you in 5 stages as detailed below.

To claim your cashback you need to send in specific bills. You will need to send your bills in to us as follows:



Month 6 - December 2012
Month 9 - March 2013
Month 12 - June 2013
Month 15 - September 2013

It's not on their website - it's on talkmobile.co.uk, as it's the network rather than the broker that bills you. You need an account number to log in for the first time, which you won't be able to find anywhere, so don't waste your time trying to look! Just ring Talkmobile on 5888 and they'll give you it - they ask security questions like what bank your DD is taken from, DOB etc. from there it's quite simple.

It's time to claim the next cashback.

if you are talktalk customer then their s3mini deal here will do for you. If you want sim only deal their £5 sim only deal here is good. You also get £30 quidco making the contract just £30 for 12 months sim only deal. You can sign up to tal tal contract only if you are an existing customer or have friends and family using talk talk..

Had 2 redemption contracts, one with e2save, other with mobiles.co.uk and NO PROBLEMS AT ALL, got all my claims back, so in the end using my mobile from 3 years for free

my current 3 deal is about to expire

100 minutes and texts for £7 a month, 2 years ago they gave me a nokia ( blackberry style ) that i sold for £90

so my contract has cost me £78

however i now need more minutes and texts although 250 of each would be more than enough

so 24 x £7.50 = 180, less 30 cashback so £150, sell phone for £60 ( assume unlocked and unbranded) so contract cost £90

so unless 3 offer me £3.75 a month x 24 then this could be for me

Have signed up for two contracts & already have two others (different deals) running with this company & E2save (both owned by CPW) No iss, just make sure you cancel the 'free' insurance & geek cover that they give you for one month as after that they will sting you for the monthly charges. It can all be done on line, it just takes a bit of finding (they obviously hope you will give up & let it run!)Read lessRead more

Cheers for that

No worries. Just be aware that the last time I got a deal from these guys I got no paperwork or reference numbers for either the insurance or gadget thing. This was partly due to my stupid bank. Anyway - two quick phone calls and no hard sell to keep it and I was out of the insurance and gadget cover. Obviously keep it til the end of your first month on the insurance bit - always worth a free month of it. The gadget line get shot of straight away. Ask on here if you need help or pm me.

Once again - been there! Ring them and they will give you some rubbish about your card not being accepted or something. Tell them that you will get cashback. They will usually match or knock a few quid off if you do it over the phone. Be prepared for a good few minutes of 'I have to read this out for terms and conditions' malarky. Last time the cashback offered was £50 - I got £40 off my first bills. Can cope with that!

He said just cancel the direct debit, that will cancel the insurance part. The number was 0800 049 1067. He also said I need to cancel the gadget thingy seperately, by calling TMTI on 0844 477 2995. Did that, no probs at all.Read lessRead more

I had no problems with vodafone as they sent me paper bills each month: I then sent the relevent bill by recorded delivery every time with no problems. However, I had many problems with talkmobile this last year as it was online billing and they refused to accept emails containing screen captures or printouts via post. I have received just one cheque.Read lessRead more

I downloaded CutePDF, then print the TalkMobile bill to that and upload the PDF as normal. Have been doing this for several TM contracts over the past couple of years, no probs.

Port your number out to another network then port it back.

Anyone switching from an existing talkmobile Pay as You Go tariff?

I'm currently on Talkmobile's Pay as you go (Essentials) tariff. Would I also need to port my number to another network, or can I just give them a talkmobile PAC?

Thanks.

Glad so many people have been able to make use of it, amazed its still available to be honest! Tempted to get one, don't exactly rate the phone but would be nice to have an android as my spare.

I've signed up for this and have got an email saying the phone is on its … I've signed up for this and have got an email saying the phone is on its way..One thing that concerns me now after ordering it is:The offer on the mobiles.co.uk site was for either 22 months at 0.99p line rental a month (the option that I choose) OR £30 auto cash back.I see on the TopCashBack site (that I went through to get the £30.30 cash back) that it is listed as a 0.30p "top up" cash back, (on top of the auto cash back from mobiles.co.uk) so this looks like we are trying to claim both of the free 'gifts' on the offer from mobiles.co.ukIf I'm being sceptical and I get the £30 cash back then will I lose the 0.99p per month line rental offer? I can't believe that mobiles.co.uk will let us have both!Can someone reassure me and tell me has anyone actually had a similar deal and ended up with both 'offers' applied??Read lessRead more

I can see why you might think that, but don't worry - the TCB is a completely different thing to the mobiles.co.uk cashback - it's just a coincidence that they're both for £30. Mobiles.co.uk don't even know you're getting TCB as well - that comes through the affiliate networks, and is basically the commission they pay to the referrer (I.e. TCB) for getting them the sale. If you'd selected their £30 instead of the 99p line rental then you'd have ended up with £60.30.

On mobiles.co.uk you'll see there are hundreds of deals all offering cashback of some amount, and his is the only one with £30 or 99p for 22mths. If you'd selected a different deal, for example an HTC with £70 cashback on their website, you'd still be following the same £30.30 link from TCB.

The 'topup' of 30p is just what TCB add onto every single cashback amount that they offer, in order to make them more competitive against Quidco. It means that the affiliate network will send them £30 from the retailer, and they'll add 1% (30p) topup to it.

There's never any guarantee of getting your TCB cashback, but I've had over £5k in the past 10 years so as long as you always remember to clear your cookies, it's generally fairly certain. The 99p line rental on the other han is part of the contract you're taking out, and you've got that in writing.

I'm pretty sure it is. Don't have one to hand, but the box was unbranded as was the phone. When I inserted the SIM it asked what network I was meant to be using, which I'd have thought wouldn't be necessary. It then sent me a text to set the phone up for MMS etc.

Hope that helps

Could be very handy if lots of people all start posting reminders on this thread as soon as it's cashback time in Dec - I've set reminders on phone and written it on the calendar, but I've got the email subscription to this thread, and if it suddenly becomes active again then it's just another back-up to reduce likelihood of messing things up!

Well I've never stolen anything or done anything bad like that, but you can't really say no to a free phone!
I'm not sure what I signed for, I thought there was one bag the way it was handed to me (massive crumpled bag with a tiny box in it) and I put it by my shoe rack, opened the bag and got the phone out. It was only this morning when I went to throw the bag away that I realised there was a second behind it with another phone in! But I definitely only have one email stating one order etc so I'm not sure what they're up to here

Type your comment here...ok i have had a look into my first bill and there is a part first month and also a full month line rental on it so i have a £1.25 part first month and also a £6.25 full month and then vat is added so a full monthly charge is £6.25 plus vat which is £7.50 a month, it is explained on talk mobile site, so all is well.
Also setup your talkmobile account here to switch off paper billing and access online billing and save £1.50 a month

talkmobile.co.uk/my-…tml
Why is my first bill
higher than expected?
Your first bill will include the following items:
• A part month line rental charge.
This is your monthly line rental charge from
the day connected to the start of your full
monthly line rental period.
• One month’s line rental billed in advance.

When registering online it asks for account number. "You will find this on your mobile phone bill. Format e.g: X12345678". We don't have the first bill as yet so where can we find the account number?

No, just the December bill (assuming that's the one they want for your dates) and you don't need to print it off, you can just take a screenshot (Ctrl-alt-print screen) and save as Jpeg in Paint and send that to them through the link on mobiles.co.uk.
