Have you ever heard of a free line rental mobile deal? Chances are you have not, as they are pretty obscure!

Well, if you haven’t, you are about to find out how you can get a completely free mobile phone for 12 months. That means a free handset, with free calls and free text messaging!

Sound too good to be true, well, to a point it is, it is not easy to get a free line rental mobile phone, but, it is possible. There are people who do this year in year out and never pay a penny for their mobile!

So, here is where it gets complex! With a free line rental deal you actually have to pay your phone bill as normal for the first 6 months or so. So, at this point it is not 12 months free line rental at all!

Then, later on in the contract you have to submit a claim for cash back to the retailer that sold you the phone. They refund your money, covering the cost of your contract, and voila, you have a free mobile phone!

So where is the catch? Well, it is clear that the retailers will actually lose money by dong this, so they make it tricky to make that claim for cashback.

To make a profit the mobile phone retailers have to make sure a lot of people on free line rental deals do not get their money back. So, the first thing they do is say that you must make the cashback claim on a particular date. They know that some people will miss this date. Then they ask for obscure pieces of documentation, knowing that some people will have lost this, and so it go’s on. By the end of the process they have tripped enough customers up to make their profit!

So, in summary, it is possible to get a 12 months free line rental mobile contract, and the deals are legitimate, legal and above board. But, they are also too good to be true. There are a lot of strings attached, and only the smart customer is likely to walk away with a free phone. The rest will pay their line rental as normal!

If you opt for a free line rental deal you would be well advised to organise yourself. Make sure you have the relevant dates and documentation to hand so that when you make your claim it all goes smoothly, and you get your free line rental deal!
