There are two main reasons for the plan being so popular: first, you can have the latest handsets from all major manufacturers like LG, Motorola, Nokia and Sony Ericsson for free or for a surprisingly low cost; secondly, you could recover all your monthly rentals that you pay during the contract period of 12 months.

So, at the end of the 12 months free line rental plan period, you will realize that you have spent all your money only on the video, talk and text and not on the cost of the mobile or on the rental. You get back all the rentals-which usually vary between 30 to 35 pounds per month-that you pay during the 12 months period. To get the cash back however, you will be required to produce the bills of all the 12 months for which you paid the rental. Even if a single bill is missing, you will not be able to avail the money back.

This secured your phone against theft and loss during the insurance period you don't run the risk of losing your mobile as well as the freebies offered by the free line rental plan.
