A1comms.co.uk - Any Good??

I am looking to purchase a Nokia n95 and have found a really good deal on https://www.a1comms.co.uk. I have never come across these before. Has anyone ever used these and got any feedback on their service or heard any reviews??

Thanks

    I looked at them as their cashback address is only a few miles from me and you only have 14 days in which to get your cashback claim to them, but they do not allow you into the building so you could not get a cashback receipt signed by by their staff. Bear in mind that if your network sends your bill late, the timeframe is very short in which to send the claim to the A1comms

    A1 comms is the same as BMP.

    and, from my experience with them, i will tell you that you will be better off with other companies. (i've had a very bad experience with them).

    Had a contract with BMP, and no T&C was sent. requested for it, but still told me to refer to website. Something then went wrong, and naturally, thay asked me to refer to their T&C. (which mentioned nothing regarding my problem).

    emailed the manager, and she took a good 2 weeks to reply me, with a 2 line e-mail:: "under the T&C, you are required to accept our T&C and Orange's T&C".

    If she had sent this by post, the paper will be very useful indeed when i take my dog out to poo.

    anyway, thats just my 2 cents worth on the comp. :)

    well if its for no cashback then go for it but if you go through quidco you may get some money back

    so you would pay a total of £630 over 18 months.

    phones4u has with vodafone 500mins and 500texts (£40month phone cost $49.95)
    total cost £529.95 over 12 months plus £60 from quidco

    And e2save have loads on orange 18 month £45 with cashback total of £630 same as the one you have seen but you get £36.50 quidco.

    u should go for the phones for you if you want cheepest but then its 12 months so you will probably wnat a new phone after 12 months.

    and if you really have to get stuck with A! for 18 months, make sure that they at the very least, connect you to the right tariff ( i speak from personal experience).

    I agree with gunton 10, that a 12 months contract is probably a better idea. at least u dont get tied for too long. at the end of the 12 months, u may get a better phone, with a better deal as well.
