Buymobilephones.net - advice please

Hello!

I'm considering buying a contract phone for the first time and I've been tempted by an HTC phone.

I've seen a fantastic deal on the buymobilephones.net website which has the ideal contract for me (18months and £25 a month) but the phone is only £19.99 - the same contract at the carphone warehouse has nearly £200 for the phone price.

I have seen some bad reviews for the website regarding their free gifts and cashback offers with which some people have had problems - but the deal I'm looking at does not include those offers so I'm not too concerned with that side of things.

Has anyone bought a standard contract from this site and does anyone have any advice? Do I go with my gut feeling and avoid the cheap deal, or go with my moneysaving tendencies and go cheap?

Thanks in advance!
Kat

    And dozens of other results if you search the board.

    Personally, I wouldn't hesitate to buy a phone from any company if the deal doesn't involve any cashback and I can pay by a CC.
    Don't forget about quidco/TCB.
