Visit www.coolnewmobile.co.uk

Cool New Mobile have gone into administration, which is no fault of the customer, but the customer ends up paying the price for this. I have just found out the company had gone into administration and I will not be getting any of my cash back as promised. Best thing to do now is count my losses and try to reduce my monthly line rental directly with the network provider....

This was supposed to be £35/month contract for 12 months, with 12 months free via cash back. This is not going to happen now as they are in receivership. Look at www.coolnewmobies.co.uk for receivers statement....

Visit www.coolnewmobile.co.uk

Cool New Mobile have given me many excuses not to process my claim, I have had one returned for having an incorrect number on it even though it was exactly the same number as used before. They now say I cannot claim any money back as one was incorrectly submitted. This is the first time I have had this problem with redemption companies....

I wonder if your cashback is arriving so frequently now that the company is in receivership?
<br/>
<br/>Hundreds of customers did not receive their cashback because the company was fraudulent and was not honouring their commitments. It had nothing to do with them failing to meet the terms and conditions as you implied.
<br/>
<br/>What a shame you've had to learn the hard way!
<br/>
<br/>On behalf of hundreds of honest customers.

Visit www.coolnewmobile.co.uk

I have never been moved to write a review of anything before. However with regard to coolnewmobile I would like to warn anyone considering buying a mobile phone to AVOID this company at ALL costs. They promised a very attractive cashback deal but then claimed that I had 'missed out a page' in my fourth claim and rejected it. This was complete nonsense. This is a ploy they have used with HUNDREDS of customers. Please see other forums. I suspect that they are experiencing cashflow problems and will...

I think this is a help ful review as it helps me with my case against them as i was still waiting for my july payment and obviously it was a lottery as to whom got their money back well done for getting most of yours back. it proves that they were paying out even though mine was sent in for redemption within correct time

Visit www.coolnewmobile.co.uk

Got a Motorola phone in July '06 for free, saw the deal after reading some article somewhere and thought it seemed too good to be true. Because I'm not a total novice at internet shopping (see other reviews) I checked the terms, and shopped around. Coolnewmobile seemed to be the place for the best deal at the time, and my V3i came as promised, brand new. Buyers should make sure they read AND understand terms & conditions, and be prompt at sending in cashback claim forms. The first time my cashback...

I disagree with this review because my brother sent his first bill and forgot to send the whole bill, and he was told that his whole contract for cash payment from Cool New Mobile has been cancelled.

Don't whatever you do use this site. I thought it may be too good to be true and sure enough it was. My first claim went through OK and that prompted me to buy a second 'phone for my wife. Having completed this purchase my next bill never arrived. I contacted them to chase it up with no joy and even paid two lots of £1.50 to order a copy bill. Sure enough the bill arrived three days too late to successfully submit my claim. I sent it anyway but they would not honor it despite the previous...

Visit www.coolnewmobile.co.uk

The correct phone arrived from Cool New Mobile but after emailing in regards to accessories that were supposedly included (and featured on the confirmation email) but never materialised, I received several unsigned emails containing weak and contradictory excuses. Once Cool New Mobile realised I wouldn't accept their nonsense, they simply refused to discuss the matter further as they were "too busy". Will move the goal posts, then offer pathetic excuses in an attempt to fob you off. I will be amazed...

After making my order with Cool New Mobile, my phone calls resulted in: 1) After waiting for 5 days I was told phone would be delivered in 48 hrs. 2) After waiting for the promised delivery, I phoned and was told they were still waiting for a credit check. 3) Was told they had my date of birth wrong, but now it was fixed, the order would go through. 4) 11 days after ordering, was told that the phone was going out that afternoon and I would be emailed to confirm delivery number and would get...

Visit www.coolnewmobile.co.uk

I purchased two mobile phones from Cool New Mobile. I'm happy with the phones, however the refund system is very complicated and they reserve the right to change the details. As I had to send in my bills after 6, 8, 10 and 12 months of connection it was a little confusing and one month sent in the 10th bill which was 9 months of connections. Because of this, I was charged £10 as a "handling charge". I spoke to customer service today and although there is an error on their "claim form", the...

I agree it very confusing system and the same thing happened to me I got charged for the wrong date
<br/>Its impossible to get through to them. I can't find their claim form on the website and they seem to have changed their name I would not use again.

Bought a Nokia 6030 on one of these 12 months free line rental contract back in February. Phone arrived on time, everything worked. Also received my first cash back on time. They even sent me an email confirming the receipt of my claim and saying when the cheque would arrive. Excellent so far. Hope the remaining cash backs are going to be just as good....
