    So out of two contracts only one was 100% clean as the other was a faulty phone so a 50% success rate ???

    I bet you were relieved to get it exchanged :rotfl:

    Well the phone (nokia) came and was fine - my bro was using it fine. Two weeks later it got some keys not working and screen went fuzzy on one side. So I was relieved that it could be returned for an exchange within 30 days. The new one arrived and I guess it was not brand new (its got all the screen stickers on) and that is working fine (even though I have re-flashed the new one myself now :D to get latest firmware on it)

    3 contracts with them and one out of three phones went faulty and exchanged. That is fair I think - had I been out of the 30 days limit, I might have been a bit peeved.

    The screen down one side was the problem with the Nokia we sent back and we all know what a nightmare that turned out to be :eek:

    I think you would have been more than peeved if it had not been lucky enough to fall within 30 days as you would have had no chance with their CS :rotfl:
    Good job you are savvy enough to be able to flash phones and stuff ...well done.

    I see the "mobiles.co.uk rep"'s posts (and all others regarding it) have now been removed.

    Makes you wonder about them!

    He seemed legit, and his reply was in line with the replies from mobiles.co.uk themselves, iam sure any randoms couldnt do anything with just the order number anyway.

    I sent everything back to them on tuesday and have had confirmation from royal mail but nothing from mobiles.co.uk yet that it was delivered yesterday, ive now got a upgrade direct from orange for 20 a month 800 mins but less texts (which i dont use much) and a samsung wave the phone i acutally wanted for 20 a month (was paying 35 a month before on racoon 35 an the contract from mobiles was 35 a month), over two years that save 360pounds and bought a xbox with kinet from argos for 250 with halo reach,
