    Ordered 2 for 2p - thank you OP xx - my credit card shows a pending transaction of £1 from Dialaphone.
    Guess I'll just have to see if they refund, or take more for the unwanted top-ups!
    Some days you're the dog..... most days you're the tree! :D
  • I really hope this isnt a scam.....normally things that seem to good to be true are!. Saying that, I threw my hat in the ring and got this message

    "Thank you for ordering your mobile phone from Dial-a-Phone Pay As You Go.
    We will keep you informed via email of the progress of your order, please remember to check your e-mail regularly for updates"

    Finally got this offer to work by using internet explorer.
    Hopefully they honour it.

    Are they allowed to take more from your card than what you originally agreed to? What's the legal position???

    Isn't that theft. I would be surprised if they could do that but I am sure someone will come along who knows more than me.

    You just got me thinking...

    There is no mention of price on any correspondence, i did save the original page with the order number on it, but there was no mention of price and the transaction wasn't verified through the bank.

    Me thinks this could be scam, did anyone tick the boxes just before checking out?

    One of the boxes was offering a substitution if the item ordered wasn't in stock.

    My credit card says one pending transaction, "rounded up" £1.

    So I am guessing when it is actually proccessed it will be for the correct amount, 2p.

    I have had £1 ringfenced from my account too. Am assuming that is the minimum amount possible and expecting 2p to be debited tomorrow.

    I didn't tick either box. Nothing's been taken from my bank account yet.
