Experiences with Phones4U. Good,bad,indifferent

WHat are your experiences with Phones4U? Want to get daughter Samsung Galaxy S2. Best Orange can do £31 (based on how she uses phone). Phones4U £26! However, if things go pear shaped, what is the after sales service like? Phone Orange, been with them for 10+ years. No additional discounts. All advice appreciated.

I wouldn't worry if it is not a redemption deal.
And you can always deal with Samsung directly instead.

P4U is one of those companies where its kind of like a 50/50 mixed bag.

Works for some. Doesnt for some.

Its not like Primus which is total crap bags yet only deal with homephones and cant even get that right.

theyve been fine with me once the phonew is active anyway you go through orange as per usual

they have a forum and live chat if you need any after sale service

Don't forget to cancel the 'free' insurance that they will sell you.
And don't miss on £50.50 TCB cashback.

i said no to the insurance but will check to see if they added it on anyway

Hi Kerry,

It's not really on topic with what you're asking, but P4U have the Samsung Galaxy S2 with o2 for £21.50 a month with virtually the same package as if you were to choose it with orange - 200 mins unltd texts and 500mb of data, so bare this in mind as you could save yourself £4.50 a month and if you decide to use a cashback site then the contract would effectively be under £20 a month

Thanks poshparrot. Had noted O2 deal but would like to stay with Orange - only because of Magic Numbers. Daughter at uni, phones mum regularly (1000 mins/month) but as both are on Orange calls are effectively free. O2 have bolt on (£7.65 ish/ month) that would do the same thing. Obviously costs more!
