User recommends the product

Advantages competitive deals, cashback offers, easy navigation, free delivery, free phone sales line
Disadvantages no PAYG phones, free insurance not that great, customer services a bit slow

There is only one reason why I bought my mobile phone from Onestopphoneshop... and that is the highly competitive price! I had been looking to buy the Nokia 6310i on contract for many months for as cheap as possible, which in my terms means free! However, ‘free’ on mobile phone company terms usually means having a monthly contract of at least £30. This is especially true for the Nokia 6310i. I was not prepared to pay high monthly premiums just to get a phone that is so called ‘free’. So, after searching High Street shops, many mail order mobile phone sites and Ciao! I was more than pleased ... more

Advantages Cheaper than high street, offers latest handsets
Disadvantages No handset information, pages slightly confusing and slow to load

Introduction OneStopPhoneShop (henceforth it shall be known as "Osps") was one of the first online mobile phone retailers to make a good fist of cashing in on the growth in shopping on the internet. It was stalked by The Carphone Warehouse as a target for acquisition during 2003 and bought in 2004, although it remains independent in terms of its website offers, choosing instead to offer a genuine alternative to customers from its parent company and other retailers in the market. Website content Many websites prefer to simply display prices, handsets and tariffs rather than provide extensive ... more

Does Exactly What It Says On The Tin 23/08/2002

User recommends the product

Advantages Huge selection, competitive prices, easy navigation
Disadvantages The Homepage is confusing, Delivery not actually next day

It is all too often that I forget what a simple, yet superb, idea Ciao is. No, I’m not just spewing sycophantic praise to gain a better Premium Fund payout but instead revelling in my recent mobile phone purchase made cheap, easy and successful because of advice I gleaned from this very site. I must admit that it is all to rare that I use Ciao for what it was designed, as a forum for consumers to gain valuable advice on a range of products and services, but in this instance I did. Perusing the mobile phone sites category I came across www.onestopphoneshop.com as the highest rated online phone ... more

Watch your bank account!! 20/11/2004

User doesn't recommend the product

Advantages none that you can't get anywhere else
Disadvantages returning handsets - porting numbers - insurance 'trick'

Having duly completed their online purchasing form including entering my existing pay as you go number - so that it would be ported across, I duly took receipt of my new Sony Erricson K700i this week from onestopphoneshop.co.uk. On the site they offer free insurance with the phone - something I have never seen the point in as most domestic household insurance policies cover phones - but if it was free what the heck. However, when the phone arrived (within two days to be fair), I immediately noticed a couple of things I didn't like the sound of. One was that you could return the phone within 14 ... more

What a deal! 13/09/2007

User recommends the product

Advantages Prompt service, great offers, good selection
Disadvantages pay monthly only, no face to face contact

Scrolling through past reviews, lots of people appear to have had bad experiences with this company. Personally, I have experienced no problems with them, in fact I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a new phone! ---The Website--- OK, so perhaps it isn't the best laid out website around, but all the information is there. As I knew exactly what model of phone I was looking for I was able to find that quickly on the main page and then see a list of relevant offers. I chose the LG Chocolate on Orange with nine onths free line rental on an 18 month contract. I was slightly ... more
