I've been looking for a decent deal for a Windows phone and came across a deal with buymobilephones.net. A free phone and a 24month contract with T-Mobile for £15.50. I checked on the T-Mobile site and the same tariff was there for the same price by T-Mobile wanted several hundred quid for the phone.
My question is how can buymobilephones.net do it for free. It's made me a little suspicious.
Thanks

Going direct to the networks is normally always more expensive.
No need to be suspicious. Bought many a contract from BuyMobilePhones.net - Its a genuine company thats been around for quite some time.0 -
Because they are getting a huge commission from T-mobile for selling their contracts.CharlieGimbert wrote: »...

That said, "several hundred quid" difference is far too big IMO. Any chance it's a redemption deal and the actual monthly price is higher?0 -
basically they get a big commission from the networks to sell contracts and they are passing some of that to you, the customer, to induce you to sign up0

I've bought from them too and no problems. They honoured their redemption offer immediately. Would buy from them again0 -
Ive just finished a 2y contract, no problems. 'free' gift arrived quickly.0
