    Good deal.

    Mobileshop are one of the better phone retailers when it comes to honouring cashback. Get your vouchers off on time, with the relevant bills, and they pay up, albeit anything up to six weeks later. Done a couple of 'twelve months free' with them before - had all the money back no problem. First time I've seen the 6111 on a twelve-monther though. Not a bad little phone.

    Just filling it in. It wants you to select an insurance package of either £1.40 or £1.85 a week. Do you know if you can cancel it and keep the phone?

    you can cancel within 14 days of notification</p><p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 8.5pt; COLOR: black; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma">The Sale of Goods Acts lay down several conditions that all goods sold by a trader must meet. The goods must be of satisfactory quality, as described and fit for purpose. Your statutory rights are limited which is why we offer insurance (not just an extended warranty) specially designed to protect your mobile phone (but not e.g. accessories or car kits) for up to 5 years, (with the first month free) against the risks of theft, accidental damage (including water damage) and breakdown whilst being used in the United Kingdom (and worldwide for a maximum of 30 days in any one year) by you as the person who purchased it or any of your parents, children, brothers and sisters (over the age of 18) who permanently live with you. Wherever there is reference to the insurer and their details in the site, please amend to read as follows: This Mobile Phone Insurance Cover is underwritten by Lloyd’s Syndicate 1231. Registered in <place w:st="on"><country-region w:st="on">England</country-region></place> number 04434499. Registered Office: Jubilee Syndicate Management Limited, Sidcup House, 12-18 Station Road, Sidcup, Kent DA15 7EX. Jubilee Syndicate Management Limited is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority and is entered on their register under number 226696. Because the cover is insured the Financial Services Compensation Scheme will usually cover at least 90% of your insurance benefits if the insurers become insolvent or are unable to meet their obligations. Further details are obtained from the Financial Services Compensation Scheme website http://www.fscs.org.uk/ or by phone at 020 7892 7300. Alternatively, you may write to: Financial Services Compensation Scheme, 7th floor Lloyds Chambers, <address w:st="on"><street w:st="on">Portsoken Street</street>, <city w:st="on">London</city> <postalcode w:st="on">E1 8BN</postalcode></address>. Other Insurance (including some elements of household insurance) may be available for your mobile phone otherwise than from the insurer whose cover is offered on this site. Your mobile phone insurance will not be automatically terminated in the event of a claim being made; Like all policies, there are some things this insurance does not cover. Importantly these include; inappropriate use, breakdown which occurs during the manufacturer’s warranty period or due to abuse or wear and tear or gradual deterioration of the phone, cosmetic damage to the phone, loss of the phone, consequential loss, claims not accompanied by a Crime Reference Number, any claim made in excess of 30 days of the event, any claim form not returned within 30 days of the claim, and any claim where the user is under the age of 18. There is an excess of £25 on each and every claim except where your phone is connected to a 3G Network, where the excess is £50 on each and every claim. The maximum liability for any claim cannot exceed the replacement value of your phone. Theft claims will not be paid unless reported to the Police and your Network within 24 hours and if the theft is from an unattended vehicle unless the vehicle is locked and the phone is locked away and completely hidden, from unoccupied premises unless there is evidence of forced entry, from the person unless force, pick pocketing or threat of violence is used or if the theft is in a public place if you leave the phone unattended. You are required to take all reasonable precautions to protect the phone against theft or damage. <font size="4">Following your one months free insurance, premiums will be collected monthly by Direct Debit at £5.99 per month including any IPT and will continue by periods of one month (up to a maximum period of cover of 5 years) upon receipt of your monthly premiums. You can cancel your Direct Debit at any time. You have a right to cancel the insurance by giving written notice of cancellation within 14 days of the receipt of confirmation of insurance cover to the Citymain Administrators Limited (“the Administrator”) at <address w:st="on"><street w:st="on">P O Box 116</street>, <city w:st="on">Ryde</city>, <postalcode w:st="on">PO33 2WX</postalcode></address> quoting your mobile phone number. If you do not exercise this right to cancel then your rights and those of the insurer to cancel this insurance cover thereafter are that you may cancel this insurance at any time by giving notice of cancellation, in writing or by telephone, to the Administrator. Cover will terminate immediately on receipt of your cancellation.</font> If you need to make a claim under the insurance contact the Administrator at the above address or on 0870 444 1660.</span><span style="FONT-FAMILY: "Courier New"">

    It works,

    I got £125 back on 4 deals with MobileShop and E2Save..

    Re the insurance you just have to cancel it within the alloted time and you'll never be charged.

    And don't forget to send your cashbacks by recorded delivery.
