Affordablemobiles

Svb

Hi. Can anyone tell me if they have used affordablemobiles.co.uk and if they are good way of getting a mobile. I have always got a phone from the actual shop so I'm sceptical about these sites that do the phone deal a lot cheaper.
Thanks for any help you can give me

A quick google would show you that they are not a very trustworthy company. Issues include non-delivery, selling stock they dont actually have, impossible to contact them, incorrect billing, reneging on redemption claims etc. Pretty much everything really.

Part of A1 Comms, which operates a couple of other sites at least - including buymobiles.net (as they now call themselves). If it's a cashback deal avoid; they aren't paying according to their contractural timescales and things won't be so cheap if you lose the cashback (assuming it is a cashback deal).

I'm not a cash back fan but wouldn't have an issue buying from affmob if the deal was the right one.

Bad reviews yes, but they all do tbh, they're shipping thousands of orders a month and I doubt every order is going wrong.

Really? A fool and their money are easily...

Try searching the web for them, Buymobiles, Mobilephoneshop and Phones.co - all the same company - and you'll find all their current "happy" customers who no doubt thought the same.

I got my money back no problem from them. You just have to make sure you submit the requests on time....

People only tend to post when something goes wrong. As you don't know how many customers they have in total, how can you tell if the number of complaints is significant? What if these complaints represent 1% of orders or 99% of orders?

An over reliance on web searches seems to be a common problem nowadays.

As usual people spring up to defend abysmal companies based on ancient experience or misplaced belief in guff.

Actually I am overseeing SEVEN contracts and they have ALL paid well after the due by dates. Is that enough for you (apart from the endless lines of people on other consumer websites with the same issue across FOUR dealers this company operates). On past form, probably not - but those with a dose of common sense will AVOID them. For others, a fool and his money are...

I would listen to mj. You may not always like how he says it, but he knows what's what on cashbacks. If he says avoid - avoid!
