Okay okay okay, i know ppl have talked about them before but i really wanna know, has anyone actually taken out a contract with them ?
i know they don't offer anything any good but it looks like the only place i'm gonna get a new phone cheap and be able to spread the cost (just been discharged from bankruptcy) unless anyone else has any ideas ? one's the don't involve getting someone else to take out a contract for me...
so has anyone dealt with them ? does anyone know if their phones are locked (i know they use the t mobile network but are the actual phones tmobile branded) ?
any other info on them ?
cheers

Hi cd02
What would you like to know? I have a sim-only contract with them, no surprise there.

Doesn't look that great to me - they look like a company that was touted all over the place years ago (back as far as Yahoo! Auctions) - I can't remember the name, but someone else might.Certain OTT members have caused me to add this disclaimer: all advice given is free of charge & as such should be taken to be IIRC (as I don't spend hours researching all answers :eek: )!0

no i'm not.. just wanna know stuff like, is their cs any good, are the phones network locked.. just the basics0 -
The phones are locked whilst under the minimum contract terms and can then be unlocked for no charge. The minimum contract term available is 6 months, depending on the handset chosen.
I believe their cs to be very good - there are members on here that will differ, but I think that goes for any provider.Personally I'm always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught - Sir Winston Churchill0 -

i think the phone i was look at is a 36 month contract which scares me lol
so the phones are locked ? bummer.. was hoping to get something i could easily pop my orange sim in as i get 3000 texts a month free..0 -
Have you got any local shops that sell unlocked 2nd hand phones for a song?
Alternatively, Virgin are doing some good PAYG deals at the moment - and they didn't used to be locked.Personally I'm always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught - Sir Winston Churchill0
