Network 3 cost me £70; Terrible Service.
I purchased a Network 3 mobile phone last month, from day one it was a faulty handset, the staff at the store wouldn't help me, they wouldn't accept it was a faulty handset, they wouldn't send it away for repair, they wouldn't exchange it, nor would they give me a refund.
