    I just ordered 2 - thanks OP,
    for those who are worried the tick box at the end of the order syas this:

    All mobile phone offers are subject to status, in the event this application is unsuccessful I would like Dial-a-Phone to look for an alternate mobile phone deal. I acknowledge this will involve one additional status check. I will then be contacted before any change is made. Please tick the box.

    So you will be contacted should a product not be available but i think this only applies to contract mobiles as sometime people fail credit checks for 1 provider but dialaphone will find an alternative for you.
    :TIs thankful to those who have shared their :T
    :T fortune with those less fortunate :T
    :T than themselves - you know who you are!

    download google chrome. Go to file menu, open "incognito window"

    just did it on my mac where no browser worked and it worked instantly!!!! thanks to which poster said this method
  • Anyone using Google Chrome, if you open the link in an incognito window you don't need to go through a proxy server.

    ***WORKED 1ST TIME, GIVE IT A TRY!!!***
    Funny thing was, i tried safari/firefox/chrome normally on my mac, forgot about chrome's icognito window :D

    Tenth Anniversary First Post Combo Breaker
    Hi,

    First time poster here. I've just started reading these forums, saw this offer and ordered 2 for 2p. However, I told my girlfriend of this, and she told me of this article she read online, sounding similar to this offer. The article was at www. bitterwallet.com/dialaphone-and-the-hidden-charge-they-tell-you-about-after-youve-purchased/15064.
    It mentions the 1p sim card or pay as you go offers and the fact that virgin were the company in the example. Whether this issue should be brought up with dialaphone or virgin is beyond me, and I'm not sure whether this article has relevance now, due to it being a year old. I would just like clarification on the matter because I was planning on using these phones as Christmas presents for younger cousins thus they wont be used for at least a few months.
    I'll be calling dialaphone tomorrow to see what they have to say on the matter, and maybe even cancel my order. They would be great gifts at a great price, but I dunno if I can be bothered with the hassle that may come with letting my order being fully processed.

    Sorry about the gap in the address, I can't link as I'm new.

    edit just had a read thru seems as though these t&cs were dated a year ago and have not been practised since. but we should all still check the t&cs when our phones arrive on fri.
