Samsung J700
Not sure if this is the right board but for anyone thinking of buying a new mobile thought I'd share this experience...
I was going to buy a new phone from Virgin last week, on their website the Samsung J700 is £69.99 (no airtime plus £3.99 p&p). However, after some searching I found the same phone with £10 airtime on Virgin for £59.95 (incl. P&P).
I emailed Virgin and got a reply of 'we don't do price comparison' but on visiting Virgin Mobile in Zavvi at the weekend, I bought the same phone for £59.99 incl. £20 airtime!!
A saving of £34 and I thought it was always cheaper to buy online :T
