    Has anyone used this recently with PAYG phones?

    I want to price match a phone with Play.com and prepaymania, difference of £30. Can I print off the pages from the other websites showing it's price and it's available and purchase one in store? Or do I have to order it first and then request a refund?

    Only a complete mug would order abny phone from this organisation on a non-written promise and expect them to reimburse you. They are a bunch of liars so unless you have everything in writing and are prepared to sue don't even go there.

    Well, printed off the offer from Play.com, took it into a branch and they matched it. £22 saved, and the new phone is unlocked.

    Had to buy a topup, but still better off than getting a network locked one.
