  • i did the mobile chooser and got a call this morning and cancelled my phone then i got a call from my card commpany saying carphone warehouse has took 1p out of my account and it triggered something so they put a block on my card temporaraly. would you think this would be mobilechooser? and is it safe to set my card up again any help appreciated very nervous just incase

    i have tried mobilechooser helpdesk but i get nothing any ideas?

    I had 2 phone calls from my card company 2 minutes after I applied for the free sim card with mobile chooser asking had I signed up to a mobile contract with carphone warehouse. Id explained id used my card but nothing should have come out of my account and they confirmed nothing had.

    It looks like mobile chooser is connected to carphone warehouse. But Ive just checked my quidco account and they have charged me £1, is this correct?
  • My £25 has been declined.

    I spend time this morning going through the motions of getting that free Virgin sim and entering my credit card details, and for what, nothing.

    Really mad - i will be taking a clip of the quidco offer, and keeping all references. I'm not letting this one go!

    Yes Im gonna pass really concerned with all the info they want.... enough if they were dodgy for some serious identity issues... job, length of time at addy, credit/debit card and bank details etc etc...


    This is just usual info req or credit.

    I assume as they are on Quidco they are legit, but then again there are few mobile affiliates that you can trust!!

    Quidco have charged you?? No this is not correct!! Sometimes companies, including mobile companies, car hire or restaurants etc put through a dummy £1 to ensure that the card is OK. This is not unusual and will/should be credited back.

    :mad: Mine has declined on quidco too. Don't suppose there is much that can be done about it - none of my quidco earnings enquiries have ever been paid.

    I haven't had the email asking me to phone Mobile Chooser. I had what appears to be confirmation that everything is free:

  • Just had a call from MobileChooser saying the sim card was wrongly priced and should have infact been £5.. did i still want it..

    Told them to cancel..

    Not running the risk of ending up £5 out of pocket for a sim card i wont use and not getting the £20 on Quidco..

    0800 0496496 is a freephone for their 0845 number.

    Please let us know it works, as thats off saynoto0870

    Thanks, it does work. Choose option 1 and then give them your ref no. from the e-mail. Mines already been sent but the guy I spoke to was very nice and said when it arrives phone again and they will talk me through returning the phone. I#ll let you know how I get on.

    My £25 was showing declined on Quidco this morning so I don't want the phone. Some you win, some you lose BUT you have to be in it to win it !!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
