Are they a reputable company? I don't like being conned...

They are reputable. My partner has bought a phone from them with a playstation 3 as a free gift and there were no problems

Anyone had any experience of Protect your bubble.com for mobile phone insurance?
Prices look competitive and there don't seem to be too many exclusions.

Thanks, I'll take a look.

I'm not understanding alot of the way they do the pricing on this site - it looks as if you can get more for less....

Plus so many phones - and I haven't got a clue! You also have to buy the phone - which gets cheaper in cost but the payments become more - sometimes.... it varies... I've looked at many combinations and they are fairly similar.

I've never bought a phone yet - and don't intend to either!

If only the mobiles co uk were any good!

Or they do this kind of deal...

No idea on the phone - I'm a bit clueless... chose it for the colour..

Country bumpkins, they do TV's as well. No idea how good they are tho.

Mixed reviews...

I'm tempted by an offer with these people..

I've read mixed reviews and after several days of umming and ahhing - I think I need to make up my mind...

Anyone dealt with them lately? Have they improved? - I say that due to some bad reviews (there were some good ones too). Not anywhere near as bad as mobiles co. uk I hasten to add!

Thanks

You ask , have they improved , they have never been poor. I have had numerous contracts with no problems at all. The only people that will 'have problems' are those who do not follow the rules ( terms and conditions ). You cannot expect a company to pay out if you mess up and forget to send a claim in or send it in late. Be methodical and you will get your money. These schemes can only pay out these extra amounts if some people fail so you will always get some unhappy customers but it is usually their own fault.

Ive been looking into these deals because i want a ps3, but got a few questions because i fear charges coming from every angle. Hopefully with a bit more knowledge can help me out here.

I want to get a contract which includes a reasonable amount of internet and have found some promising deals..

This deal seems ok to me but when i go onto the t-mobile website they seem to force you to get the blackberry email booster for and extra £5 a month?

also was interested by this deal: http://www .affordable mobiles.co.uk/contract-mobile-phones/t-mobile/combi-25/blackberry/8900/8411496.html
When it says + blackberry email what does this really mean? do get internet would i need to pay more? and would that be easy to add on?

Thanks Keith! I'd read a few reviews that were 'unsavoury' but most seemed to be happy - but they were quite old reviews...

Think I could be making an order tomorrow - as long as they can deliver to my work - if they can't - then its all over!
