Has anyone used direct mobiles to buy a phone?

The handset will be provided by the dealer.

I'm not sure what you mean? Are you saying you have used them?

I imagine in a contract situation the contract and handset are provided by the carrier i.e Vodafone etc.
Help appreciated.

No. As above. I wouldn't be too keen to use them having had a look at their website. I only do cashback contracts and they have hidden their cashback t&c until after you order. That's pretty much of a non-starter for me, among other things. I also expect I could get better deals on cashback with other sites I have used extensively.

ah ok now I get you...cheers.
I'm really torn. I've not used cashback before and after searching for a good few days I havent found anyone offering it less than £640.

The sort of cashback I use is really for contracts and they are getting harder and more expensive to find. I've never used a dealer to buy a phone outright, though it can be cheaper in the end than a contract, with a sim only or PAYG sim. I assume you've done a search on google to look at other suppliers? If you buy a phone outright by credit card you'll be protected and if done over the internet as with this dealer you'll have a 14 day cooling off period too.

I am also looking to buy the S9 - SIM Free and it does seem to be the cheapest website around.
But it's not known in the same way as say Carphone Warehouse. I found out the name of it on one of the MSE pages on buying a cheap mobile.
Argos and everyone else is selling for £739.
When I went on this other website they also offered me a 10% off code on top which would make it £576.
Tough one...

Lacey86 - did you place an order with them in end?

Being well known isn't necessarily a good thing. I stopped using CPW 3 years ago, though mainly because they stopped offering good cashback deals.

I didnt no, but I am still considering. I was hoping somebody on here may have used them or may have been able to vouch for them, but no such luck yet.

what was the 10% code you got?

thanks
