has anyone ever used these? They look ok, and have lots of lovely testimonials, but it could all be a scam?

I'm looking to buy my husband an iPhone 4 for Christmas, and they have them for £189.99 (class B) or £209.99 (class A)

    I could - I was hoping that someone might have used them and put my fears aside.

    Don't take my word for this, but I don't see any worrying signs.
    • They have a UK address that seems to be real - the same as some related company "Money For Your Phone".
    • Thy have UK landline telephone number.
    • They take card payments - that gives you some protection if they don't deliver.

    The only real problem may be if a phone develops fault and isn't covered by Apple's warranty.

    I did take a look on their site and it says they use mobile phones that people have returned for recycling, so that would add up.

    My husband would be really mad if I paid £319 for a new one from Apple (current price) so £190 doesn't seem too bad.

    My worry would be the phone being barred down the line if reported lost/stolen to claim from insurance?
