The reseller scam from Midland Communications Distribution. Don't get involved with them!
Like many other companies and individuals we are waiting on payments from Midland Communications Distribution. This dubious mobile phone distributor insights other businesses to act as agents for them and then fails to pay.
The offers go to customers who sign up to new contracts via you the company or agent selling Orange phones. But often it can be complicated for the agent or company to claim commissions from Midland Communications Distribution and in most cases end up with nothing. Midland will use a variety of reasons not to pay. And often use the excuse that they are owned by Orange and there is nothing you can do about it. We tried to speak with Alec Cottingham who is apparently the main man at Midland although not a registered director. All calls went unanswered. We did see other reviews regarding Midland that did not make for positive reading but they assured us they were not genuine. And now we are having the same problem.

I used to work for a company in Glasgow that sold Orange and Three. One of the reasons for the company closing down was due to Midland Distribution not paying them. I didn't actually realise that they acted as an agent for Midland. I still work in the mobile phone field, but not with a dealer or with a company like Midland.
EE which now run the Orange and T-Mobile networks, will soon only be working with a handful of resellers. Midland will not a have place with EE, and EE don't want Midland.
And companies like Midland will not have a place. The only reason there still going is because Orange who used to own a small share in them allowed them to trade as a distributor for them. Under the new changes Midland will not be included.0
