    They can't charge you more than they've originally said can they?? Otherwise isn't that false description??

    I've just ordered one too! I guess if they do send it and want to charge us for a monthly contract we can just return it?

    i wonder if you can put any sim in it??
  • If they charge me more, I'll get a refund through my bank's fraud department if CPW don't cooperate; or speak to Trading standards, quoting the trade description act of 1974. I know it's only a glitch, but it's CPW's fault and not honouring it would look bad. They cannot force a contract on anyone for a start as it says nothing anywhere about it and it also states HANDSET ONLY.

    You should be able to; phones sold as Handset only (eg NOT PAYG or contract) are unlocked and you are usually able to use any sim from any network (eg PAYG or contract).

    CPW operates a 14 day returns policy anyway, plus there is a law to protect internet shoppers meaning they LEGALLY MUST ACCEPT ALL RETURNS, as long as it's unused and boxed etc.

    Hehe, Watchdog would love it.;)

    I'm pleased as I usually miss all these loopholes. Even though I plan to sell mine at CEX when times get really rough; I'll be keeping it boxed and unused for this purpose.
