Has anyone else been screwed by CPW recently.

Bought a PAYG phone from them, forced into buying £10 top-up/airtime and not receiving the top-up/airtime.

This is £10 CPW has stolen from me due to a forced sale for something the customer has no control over.

Everyone AVOID Carphone Warehouse.........................

Money saving is now a way of life:cool:

    Have you tried checking with them and the network, could be a mistake. I have bought 2 very checp Pay as you go's since Christmas and had no problem with the credit.
    The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible.

    The CPW offer you refer to is a bit tricky: the £10 credit is not actually applied to your payg account until 8 days after you go and make a first top up elsewhere. Sucks, I know. But if you go and make a £5 topup just now, you will get hte other £10 in 8 days time.
    I accept no liability if you chose to rely on my advice.
