Absolutely nothing. Its just that when I normally see threads like this I dont usually bother, but I got sucked in this time and got my just desserts :-)

OP. Just out of interest, how did you find out about this deal?

I would hate to think you were a disgruntled employee or anything :eek:

Just checked and status on order say's "released to oracle" on the one to be delivered 28th may.Lets wait and see.

mine's cancelled too. I'm sure Virgin will be impressed with the professional way (not) this has been handled.
Hoping it isn't a credit card fraud as they have my details. Memo - never deal with dial-a-phone. Timewasters. I shall buy my Virgin credit elsewhere.

Owned by Phones 4u Limited.

Is it really a big deal what reason they have given for not sending out a 1p phone? Will this somehow affect the rest of your life from here on out?

No it won't and the phone, whether 1p or £1000 is irrelevant now but its a question of principle and integrity and I think depends on an individual's personal standards as to how wronged she or he feels. Had demand exceeded availability then that's all they had to say and it would have been waved off with a "Oh well maybe next time". However this company chose to lie and insult customers and possibly commit fraud. My emails stated they could not collect the money today so another card must be used or I should ensure the previous one had sufficient funds in to meet the cost. They inferred another attempt to charge was unsuccessful so the order was canceled. Total fabrication as my card company says Dial-a-scam successfully charged £1 on my card at 11 p.m last night at the first attempt and there is plenty of available credit on it. I am now concerned that a possibly unscrupulous company has my personal details including those of my credit card which may well be passed on. So I don't think its "going over the top" to be angry about someone suggesting slanderously that you are insolvent. It called having personal pride and the right to express your opinions either pro or con this matter. So I am not going to let this rest with regard to the company until I get an explanation and an apology from them. Maybe it will even graduate to Ann Robinson, who knows?

"Pls be nice to all MoneySavers. There's no such thing as a stupid question, and even if you disagree courtesy helps."

Whilst they may feel more wronged than a lot of members they have some very valid points, especially in regard to the point that it is irrelevant the item was a penny.



The one thing I am unclear about, is whether a contract was entered into, if billed an incorrect amount? I also wonder if this was intended?

A bargain, court cases for loss of a bargain are becoming more common as consumers become more aware. There was no reason to think it wasn't genuine and most consumers would be thinking it was dirt cheap as you would keep topping up etc

Fine we are talking about a cheap mobile, but if you do not feel a loss-fine, just as it is fine if they feel a loss surely?
