So yet another MVNO player in a crowded space. Be interesting to see if having high street stores will give them an advantage over the other MVNOs.

    Like Carphone Warehouse? I'd rather deal directly with the Organ Grinder, than the monkey.....

    Haha yeah I didn't explain it how I meant it! :o

    I meant dedicated mobile stores (although I did forget about CPW with Talk Mobile) where you can just walk in and hopefully get your problem solved as opposed to having to phone up.

    I'm not sure how knowledgeable the staff are in Tesco's mobile departments, but Virgin stores seem to be few and far between currently.

    I suppose it's a pretty pointless question though, I guess I was just trying to pad out the post! :p

    just like when the used to own singlepoint I suppose
    Don't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.
  • To be fair the deals on MVNOs tend to be quite a bit cheaper than the deals offered by the networks who's backbone they use.
