buymobilephones.net - offer too good to be true

Marvel1

Found the phone I want - Samsung Galaxy Ace 2

Found this offer on buymobilephones.net:
100 mins
5000 texts
Unlimited
Network 3
£17 a month, free phone

Now the above deal from 3's direct website is:
£20 a month, £69 for phone

Carphone Warehouse:
£24 a month, free phone


Also when viewing contact numbers for buymobilephones.net customer service number is 0844 880 8100 or 01773 522301 why would you offer a cheaper rate call when you have a premium?

Are they legit?

Going to both 3 and Carphone Warehouse tomorrow to see if they can match it but doubt it.

I wouldnt touch them with barge pole again, all the cash back they claim to give with contracts is always tinged by the small print.

But this deal isn't offering cashback, so this is hardly relevant. If the OP puts an order in for this phone what exactly are you saying is going to happen?

The reason they offer two different phone numbers is the 0800 number will be free from landlines, and the 01773 number is for people on mobiles to use their inclusive minutes.

Make sure you compare like with like - is the minimum term the same? That said, it may be cheaper to buy the handset and go PAYG, as this prevents your Credit File being fried if anything goes wrong.
