Very Expensive Phones !!!!

  • I agree with what everyone is saying (you know the APR in advance, high risk etc) but they also charge a fortune for the phone to begin with!

    For instance, you can buy a Nokia 6111 on prepay from Carphone Warehouse for £90 plus a £10 top up (online anyway...), but with these guys the same phone is £329.99! Ok, the sim free price is always more expensive than payg, but still...thats a large difference - the total payable with finance is £419.99!

    I'd save up my pennies and go to the high street...

  • There must be enough stupid people out there who are silly enough to pay £600 for a phone, otherwise companies charging 98% APR wouldn't exist...

    Nobody on here is buying a phone on credit, the thread is about the op noticing a high interest charge:rolleyes:

    I was replying to the advert, not the op.
