Automatic Cashback

Automatic Cashback is a promotion from Mobiles.co.uk whereby 90 days after delivery of your handset you will be sent a cheque for the full amount of the cashback. No claim is necessary. No bills to send. No redemption dates to remember.

Free Gifts

All free gifts such as the Nintendo Wii, Laptops, Xbox 360 and iPods are despatched at the same time as your new mobile phone. Please note that non-payment of your phone bills at any time within the first 6 months will result in you being charged the full retail cost of the free gift. If you wish to return your phone under our 14 day guarantee you will also need to return the free gift, unopened and unused.

Please note this only refers to customers who placed an order on or after February 8th 2008 - if you ordered your phone previous to this date please contact Customer Services on 01923 80 4444, option 7.

Do I need to claim my free gift?

Unlike other mobile phone retailers, Mobiles.co.uk will send out both your free gift and your new mobile at the same time. No claim is necessary, but you must be aware that any return has to include both phone and free gift in order to qualify for cancellation. At this time it is not possible to purchase the free gift and return just the handset.

Please send the top 3 sheets of your bill (which must show your mobile number, your current tariff and the date of the bill at the months indicated above. ie, months 6, 9, 12, 15 &/or 18 as appropriate. For the avoidance of doubt the month 6 bill will be the bill dated in the month that is six months after your connection date. E.g. If connected in January, the sixth month is July so we need to receive your bill dated in July within 30 days of the date of that bill. All other bill dates are calculated in the same way.

Important: The above bills must be sent to us to arrive within 30 days of the date on the relevant airtime bill. Claims received after this time cannot be processed. We will acknowledge receipt of your claim by email.

Q: Can I send a photocopy of my airtime bill?
A: Yes you can. This may be preferable as we are not able to return the original.
Q: Can I send a print off of my online bill?
A: Yes you can. This should include your current address.
Q: Do I need to send in my claim by a certain date?
A: Yes, your claim must be received within 30 days of the date on the relevant airtime bill.
Q: What information does the bill need to show?
A: All bills sent must show the date of the bill, the mobile number and that you are still on the original tariff we connected your handset to.

Please note: You must send all items by recorded or registered post as we cannot be held responsible for lost items or claims that arrive outside of the qualifying period.

How Cashback is Paid

Your cheque or payment direct to your bank account will be sent within 30 days of us receiving your claim provided you are eligible and we can verify the claim. The cheque will be issued in the name of the account holder.

Q: What if I don’t have a bank account or want the cheque made payable to somebody else?
A: The terms of our Cashback offers are that we will only issue the cheque in the name of the person who took out the phone contract. We will not make payment in any other way.
Q: If I have to claim at different stages, how much will I be paid at each stage?
A: The Cashback amount will usually be divided into equal payments for each time that you claim. If you forget to claim for one of the payments, you may still claim for any that are remaining.
Q: What happens if I change my address after the sale?
A: The cheque will be sent to the address on the airtime bill you send us.

Reasons Cashback Will Not be Paid

  • If your account is not up to date with payments.
  • If the airtime bills sent are not for the same account and in the same name as the one eligible for the Cashback.
  • If your claim is received more than 30 days from the date stated on the airtime bill you are required to submit.
  • If your airtime contract has been disconnected (including disconnections made under Lifeline insurance).
