Profit in mobile phones is very slim, and I am speaking through experience.

If you are still looking, feel free to contact me direct as i deal in this trade.

if it were that easy everyone would be doing it! as the previous poster has said, the margin on sim free mobiles particularly is wafer thin.

Personally, i'm starting to wonder if 'wholesalers' really exist any more - we are predominantly involved in the I.T. sector, and have yet to find any 'wholesaler' who can supply as competitively as the big online players anyway.

Unless you can offer something that the big companies can't, then phone companies are not going to deal with a you as a new set up.

Lots of phone reselling companies have gone to the wall as the occasional cheap phone that crops up on here via a retail source tends to swamp the market and undercut even wholesale prices.

Also don't forget that phones are often seen as a loss leader so sell cheaply purely to get people to sign up for a contract. If you are planning to sell unlocked phones then they will look very expensive compared to one sold online from say Orange or Virgin. Whilst they may be locked many people are able to unlock them and gain the benefit that buying direct from a phone contract company brings.

Yer phones are dead unless you are selling contracts, why do you think they offer free phones.
