    I'm in two minds whether to cancel my Beepy order and go with another vendor, albeit at a higher cost as they've got some cracking deals :(

    Anyone ordered one on T-Mobile from buymobilephones.net in the last couple of days and had confirmation that they'll get theirs in Tuesday's batch? They're not bothering to answer my emails, which I find concerning!

    My sister ordered one through buymobilephones.net a few weeks ago and received it fine. I also ordered one later on, at the time it showed in stock but I later (same day) received an email saying they were out of stock and that it'd be around 10 days until back in stock.

    My PAC only had 4 days before it expired so I had to cancel, sent them an email and got a confirmation of cancellation email back on the same day. From what I've read I'd go with them over Beepy but I have no experience with them.

    Been waiting for about 2 weeks for my desire from beepy. No sign of it ever coming. How is it other websites are doing next day delivery where beepy customers are waiting so long? The deal I am supposed to be getting is t-mobile, 18 months, 300 mins, unlimited (1gb?) internet: £25 a month and £70 back by redemption.

    Are there any other 18 month deals out there around the £25 mark with any sites that actually have the phone in stock? My patience is running out.

    Wow, this deal almost seems to good to be true...

    I'm guessing that you have to pay quiet a lot of money for the handset, and redemption is involved - right ? Is it an 18, 24, or 36 month contract ?

    Can you post a link to this deal - thanks.

    Been looking at this phone and I also just found the mobiles.co.uk HTC Orange deals. Can't pots the link but you can find the deals quite easily.

    The deal anniemf2508 got is actually £25 per month but half price for 12 months via redemption. So it actually works out at £18.75 over 24 months and the phone is definitelyfree.

    Alternatively you can get:

    400 mins, Unlimited Texts, Unlimited Data

    for £30 per months on a 24 month contract with half price for 15 months via redemption. This works out at just over £20 a month over the course of the contract, and again the phone is free.

    I'm very tempted by this, but not sure whether this company is trustworthy and whether the redemption aspect is reliable.

    Has anyone hasd any experiences of mobiles.co.uk?

    They've been around years - I've used them once or twice over the years. They're part of the Carphone Warehouse too.

    no redemption and a free phone
    My husband originally ordered the Wildfire but they have postponed that til september now, so for his inconveniance they offered him that deal on the Desire. He then rang up 2 days later and asked if they could do the same deal for me and they agreed :)

    Well I've cancelled my Beepy order and had decided to go with the slightly more expensive deal via BuyMobilePhones.net through TopCashBack (£30). Would have turned out to be about £100 more over the 18 months, but they've just changed their deals again so I've now got the following on T-Mobile for £21.94 per month over 18 months (£395 total cost after cashback from both above sites) for:

    Free Desire
    600 mins
    500 texts
    Free internet booster

    Where is this? I'm looking at the deal you describe now (T-mobile, 18 months, 600 mins, 500 txts, unlim data) on buymobilephones and it is coming up at £30 a month with £45 cashback. So if you include cashback from TCB as well the total cost is:

    (18 x 30) - (30 + 45) = £465
