Do you phone up the stores every time you go shopping? The retail advertising laws need to be tightened up pre EU. Stores used to have to put 'exceptions' in their disclaimers.

The store fully complied with the law - if you couldn't read the ad properly that isn't ASDA's fauult.

"Exceptions to disclaimers" - that's novel.

I could point out that you could be sued by ASDA for accusing them of lying !

Hi,
I bought one for my son, and can put any sim into it as they are also not locked.

I thought they only work with asda and vodafone sims ??????

I think you need to learn to read and stop posting rubbish on this site.

In yesterday's paper an Asda advert for a Nokia 1209 for £13! The tiny disclaimer said 'Majority of stores'. Went to the huge megastore at Roehampton. No, the offer isn't there. It's only on offer near the M25.

Very naughty.

I bet lots of people went into ASDA to buy that,didn't find it- and spent 100 quid buying other stuff.Very clever marketing from the supermarkets.

ds and me left, bought nowt - oly went to get that, would rather give my money to other places

Good for you.We all need to vote with our feet so companies can no longer take us for a ride.

I've seen some of your posts and the words kettle, black, pot and calling spring to mind.

Being that the phone on offer was a Nokia, getting them unlocked to all metworks is easy. Most phone traders use a small clip to do it and charge £5.00 upwards.
Thats why they were after multiple purchases of the item.

I wouldn't describe it as exactly 'small print', I mean I saw the ad a few days ago and definately remember the 'Majority of stores' bit at the bottom...
