    Still nothing taken from my bank account. Status says processing application. If they are going to cancel, wish they would hurry up!

    I see on my order history I used them back in 2003 and can't recall any probs with them but then did pay the full price.

    After reading Gaz1990,s post, I just found this in the TnCs.
    I am a bit worried now and want to cancel but You can only cancel by phone during office hours. Grrr.
    1. Supply of Phones, USB Modems and Laptops. ...Top

      Unless we have specifically agreed to sell you a phone or laptop on a standalone basis we only agree to sell or supply a phone, USB modem or laptop (as appropriate) to you on the basis that you enter into an airtime agreement to connect the phone or USB modem we supply to an airtime provider for the specified minimum period on the particular network and tariff that is associated with the phone or USB modem. If there is a connection fee and/or a delivery charge, you must also pay that. The reason we insist on this is because mobile phones, USB modems and laptops can have a significant cost to us and we can only sell or supply a phone, USB modem or laptop either free or for a price far below what the item is worth (depending on the model or offer) if you also enter into such an airtime agreement. Your contract for airtime is not with us but is with a separate airtime provider.
      If we deliver a phone, USB modem or laptop (as appropriate) to you (other than on a standalone basis) and you do not enter into the associated airtime agreement or you cancel your agreement AND do not return the phone, USB modem or laptop (as appropriate) to us (or where permitted under paragraph 10 do not enable us to collect it) we will charge you the retail price of the items delivered to you. Our price list is on the website or available on request.
      The goods we deliver to you become your responsibility once they are delivered to you.

    From what I have read, there's no point in bothering.

    also taken from the same link i guess u didnt read it all then?

    ANOTHER EDIT: We’ve heard from Dial-a-Phone – their said: “We’ve looked into this and can confirm that the matter is as a result of an admin error and was by no means intentional.
    “The copy referenced an old process for connecting prepay which is no longer valid. We have not charged any customers for not using a SIM for at least a year. Accordingly, the wording will be amended shortly.

    Ordered 2 of these yesterday. Having read some of the posts this morning and looking at the T & C (I know I should have done this before I ordered), I was worried that I might end up having to pay the cost of the phones so decided to cancel. Was unable to log in to cancel online. Have just phoned (0844 481 5866) and managed to cancel without any problems. Their website does state that pay-as-you-go has to be cancelled online but the lady I spoke to cancelled my order. I told her when I placed the order that I hadn't realised that I needed to buy airtime as well - she didn't deny or concur this.

    Hope that those who get the phone do manage to get it for 1p - it's a great deal if it works (even my topcashback had already logged in pending) - I was going to keep mine to use as a spare/temporary replacement.

    Looks like the link has stopped working - I guess they've all gone!
    My order still says "processing".
