    Grrr!:mad: Ordered one of these yestrday, had the confirmation email, then my credit card providers blocked the transaction (in fairness, they did ring me to tell me they had because of fraudulent transactions regarding small electronic goods increasing at this time of year). Sorted that, rang Carphone Warehouse to advise about card - no longer offering this phone! Blast!
    There are going to be a fair number of disappointed people I suspect. Brilliant spot by the OP though!:beer:

    Same with me. Why were the transactions being blocked? :mad:

    Does Anyone Know If A 3 Sim Card Can Be Used In This Phone X


    3 use their own 3G network.

    This phone has no 3G support, so cannot be used with 3.

    http://www.gsmarena.com/motorola_w180-2151.php

    It is a GSM phone and is unlocked will work with any GSM Sim such are O2, Orange, Vodaphone, etc..

    Hope this helps

    Not even a search result on the whole site now!
    The 'curse' of moneysavingexpert.com's popularity!!
    I'm going past one of their shops today, so I'll have a look, but won't hold my breath!

    I noticed Onestopphoneshop have this on their site looks like the same price only £2.50 cash back via quidco, I've seen the unit in store might be worth calling before you go to a store. No cashback but you can trade in an old phone but they pay £5 for the phone and £2.50 for the charger and £2.50 for the manual!

    Worth trying onestopphoneshop its under PAYG remember quidco. OSPS are part of Carphone Warehouse worth a go

    I ordered from CPW lastnight and it was out of stock. I then order the phone through e2save and got the order processed email this afternoon that says it will be with me shortly.....also tracked as £26.50 as a contract phone on wepromiseto. Just had a look the phone is no longer on e2save site.
  • If they are out of stock on the net then the warehouse have sent them all to the Car phone shops. The Car phone shops in london have loads of these, I ordered mine over the net to be delivered to the shop close to work, the sales person was trying to get me to buy an extra one, they are not shifting....they have other deals in the shop as well like samsung 2 for £20 when bought with £10 sim card....

    If you can't get one on line go past the car phone shop...and see what other deals you can get.

    When I went in to pick up the phone, the sales person asked for the credit card I used to pay and when he put the details in it rejected the card saying that was not the card used, luckily I had printed out all the emails I had got when I paid.

    The motorola phone is unlocked no camera but good radio and as a back up phone or to give to parent its a good sturdy phone.

    the orange sim did not arrive with the phone so the sales person had to call the ware house to inform them but they gave me a sim then and there. Don't know why it would take 72 hours to activate, I put my sim in the phone and once charged about 3 hours, everything was ready to use.....

    Great phone for the price but would not pay £26.50 for this on contract you can get much better phones and better deals out there.......:money:

    Was this a comment on my post? You are mistaken, I got the order for £12.88 payg. However the cashback meant to be £5 but it's been tracked at £26.50 like a contract phone cashback. I will get the £5 whatever happens but it would be nice if they paid out £26.50 through the wrong tracking of the order.
