    I have heard of them :) I know most of the phone dealers. Im not saying its a scam but I know carphone warehouse offers much better "peace of mind" and after sales then the company you refer to. CPW terms and conditions are far more favourable than mobileshops

    If you'd heard of them and this deal you wouldn't be saying that the CPW deal was totally unmatched on the internet.

    There are plenty of happy customers of MobileShop on this forum, who don't share your sneering cynicism

    Just stick to posting accurate comparisons of deals, and quit the abuse of other companies.

    Perhaps you should have added IMHO after this statement of yours in the op.

    "Its by far the best deal on the net at the moment".

    You still don't get it.

    I'm saying the CPW deal is the best at the moment. I know there are other offering similiar deals on cash backs etc for a similar deal but overall, CPW is better as they offer a much better after sales, peace of mind, and their terms and conditions are far more favourable than say mobileshops, in other words, it makes the deal a far better one than say you mobileshops deal.Try comparing the terms and conditions for both companies and you'll notice a big difference.

    I;m referring to the overall deal/package (not just what it says on the website about free line rental for 12 months)

    As pricefighter points out, perhaps you should have qualified your remarks by saying this was only your opinion.

    Perhaps also you could have explained earlier your pejorative assumptions about the solvency of other companies, which have been trading for years, and with plenty of happy customers here.

    Instead, those people who have less knowledge of all these are treated to an absolutist, unqualified comment that this is by far the best deal around.

    Unless Mobileshop and others go bankrupt, which is very unlikely despite your snide hints of the possibility, then other deals are better as they have new and higher spec phones, and very little difference indeed in terms and conditions.

    Next time you introduce a deal here, please do it without a load of made-up-after-the-event excuses for incomplete and misleading information.

    So if someone makes a post and does not state it was 'their opinion', it must be the truth? :rotfl:

    There was no misleading information.

    It was the best deal as far as I can see. If I was to do a survey to ask people who offers a better all around, you'll find CPW would come out on top. They have also been voted the best retailer for a while now.

    Again, I repeat for allround service CPW would come out on top especially for this deal (including service).
