    Looks a legit store from what I can see. Been runningyears and all data matching up
  • Same here i have had the same email, and i have replied to it, to see if they send me a message back. They have also tried phoning me aswell from the 08445675863.

    So i am wondering if its true or not.
  • mmmm I got the same "winning" email and did respond via email thinking it couldn't do any harm :o ....had no reply though.

    I'm just a bit hesitant to ring them and get caught up in some sorta scam :eek:

    Waiting to hear what happens with the rest of us :)

    Did you reply with all 4 phone numbers that you had received? I only received 2 and some people haven't received any.

  • I have got the same e-mail, but cannot remember whether I ordered or even received any sim cards. I googled the email address and one of the results that came up was the following

    Hello Mobile / Facebook.
    email [EMAIL="henry@ibitstore.com"]henry@ibitstore.com[/EMAIL] tel 01771 51763.... selling the latest mobile phones to people in the UK on behalf of orange th Uk's largest mobile network.

    I am not allowed to post links on this site due to being a new user but if you google the email address ([EMAIL="henry@ibitstore.com"]henry@ibitstore.com[/EMAIL]) into search, it should be about a third of the way down in the results.

    When I looked on the events page of the facebook page for Hello Mobile, it looks like it is either based in or do a lot of work in Egypt. I haven't yet replied to the email I received, but was initially tempted, it's only because I have my other half kicking me into reality with the 'dont get something for nothing' phrase that stopped me.

    A lot of people on this site get something for nothing though so it is always worth finding out. Had no reply yet.
