Rebates: Are they "phony"?

Jun 6, 2005 6:09AM PDT

Has anyone had experiences with on-line phone rebates? It seems that all of the independent on-line phone reps are requiring subscribers to wait at least six months before sending in the rebate form and also send in the carrier's bill four months after subscribing.
Then, you've got to wait up to another 12 weeks before getting the rebates. Are these rebates for real or is it some kind of scam?
