12 Months Free Mobile Phone Deals

By: Caroline Telford

Many mobile phone deals now come with a 12-months free benefit. This means that those who sign up are able to redeem the price of their mobile phone at the end of their contract's term, usually somewhere in the eighth, ninth, or tenth month. This allows customers who wish to save money on mobile phone deals to do so directly through the retailer from which they purchased the phone, and they can do so for an entire year!

The 12 months Free Mobile Phone Deal starts with guaranteed cash-back redemption. Although the monthly payments are the same as any other deal, the redemption ensures that participating customers get all of that money back when they submit their bills and vouchers by or on the appropriate designated dates required. Hey, what a way to go! This has been considered one of many very prevalent and currently popular mobile phone deals in the whole of the United Kingdom. Unfortunately, it isn't available everywhere, although those outsiders ordering from British retailers just might qualify for such mobile phone deals, so the '12 Months Free' contract still might be available on a global scale, as long as the retailer is based in the United Kingdom.

Several drawbacks do exist with '12 Months Free' mobile phone deals, however, so interested parties should do their thorough research first so they know what to expect before signing up for this deal.First, '12 Months Free' mobile phone deals are offered by the retailers only, not by networking providers, so if something should go wrong, such as a retailer going out of business, that latter will not help. In a situation such as this—heaven forbid!—customers will lose out on their deal and will not be able to get their money back through redemption. Retailers are not common to file Bankruptcy, but it has happened, especially in cases where they lose profit.

And that leads into the next concern: Sceptical buyers wonder how retailers can afford to promote such mobile phone deals as the '12 Months Free' guarantee if they aren't likely to make a profit out of it. Retailers know that many, if not most, participating customers are going to forget and miss those dates designated for submitting their vouchers for a cash-back, refund. As a matter of fact, many retailers rely on this, especially since these dates are “small windows” that are so brief that that participating customers, if they do remember to submit, can barely breathe before they miss it. Once these dates are missed, the said customers lose their chance to get their money back.

Yet another not-always-clear stipulation for many retailers is that in order for participating customers to be able to successfully obtain their cash-back edemptions on their '12 Months' Free' mobile phone deals, a copy of all bills for that first year must be submitted with the voucher.

This is why said customers are encouraged to keep their bills for every month, because if they don't—even for a single month—they can, and usually do, become disqualified from getting their cash-back refunds on their mobile phone deals. In light of this, every customer having this contract should retain every single bill. Doing so or not doing so might make a serious difference.

In the end, this deal can work to any mobile phone user's advantage, as long as that person is careful and a meticulous record-keeper—and has a sharp memory.
