gone bump according to CPW store

Just been into Solihull and popped into CPW to see deals. I told the chap about Dialaphone offer and he said "Stay away from them, they have gone bump". I said that was news to me but he insisted. Does he have insider info?:rolleyes:

    Dialaphone haven't gone bump, but maybe they will now you have started this thread!

    You or the chap you spoke to have misheard each other - there is a firm called Dialamobile which has just gone bump.

    Sorry for the ten as it is over the top but the site does not allow you to send anything under ten which of course I have gone over in explaining it so I could have had one but then this would have not made sense.

    Don't think so, I used the name Dialaphone a couple of times during the whole conversation. I also said there were lots of little companies that I had heard of going bump, he said Dialaphone. My son was with me and heard him too.

    Ok - so he has mixed up the names then.

    As they are so close - probably deliberately so, it's an easy enough mistake for the "chap" to make.

    Did I ever have you to lose? All I wanted to do was to let Quentin know that I appreciated his remark but the site does not allow you just to put one :D which is what I wanted to do. So I was just being silly.
  • Perhaps I should have said on here that I didnt think he was right, as I may be ordering 2 phones from them via Quidco. Sorry "chaps" and chapesses

    Well cpw would want you to think that dialaphone were going to go bust I would have thought. Maybe you should have asked him about mobileshop. Now there is a right contender for insolvency if you go by their shanniggens over the last year.

    The CPW employee probably wanted to have the sale from you, and deter you from going anywhere else, hence probably lied.

    DialAMobile have gone bust, and not DialAPhone (as rightly mentioned previously). It gets even MORE confusing, as DialAMobile Ltd are the one's with problems (were trading as MobileConnections), but DialAMobile Plc is a totally different entity, so don't confuse the two.

    DialAMobile PLC will definately be hit by this though, with drop in sales, etc... from people getting confused between the two (Ltd and Plc).
