mobiles.co.uk - no support or customer service

Advantages: Get a mobiles phone next day with a free gift
Disadvantages: up to hour wait to get through to their support, then 25 mins in queue

...to take a contract through mobiles.co.uk due to the great offers with orange and the amazing free gifts. The phone I ordered came as stated, the next day. After 3 days there was a fault with the phone. I called their returns line only to keep getting cut off due to their not being any lines available. When I finally got through after 40 minutes, it took 23 minutes of hold time in their queue. I was told there was only one gentleman on the returns ...
...I was paying for two. Mobiles.co.uk had not cancelled my faulty one. When I phoned them - yes, another hour wasted getting through to them - I was told that it could take up to 14 days for them to cancel the contract with orange - so I could be paying for 2!!! Yes, mobiles.co.uk are very good in getting the phone to you but when it comes to support, customer service and complaints, they simply don't have the time, they are too busy ordering phones ...

Mobiles.co.uk EXCELLENT!!!

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: Nothing as yet

After reading reviews for this site it seems that not many people who have had a good experience have written anything so here it goes!!! I ordered my band new shiny pink samsung g600 on Thurdsay 31st July at 3:00pm. The package includes a JCV Tv, 1200minutes and 600 txts for £45.00 a month. I know this may seem alot to some but its much better considering what I get through at the minute. So after looking around the site after I had placed my ...
...it would be bigger so I called customer services and asked if they could swap the free gift for a new Hp Laptop they were very helpfull and said this wouldnt be a problem. I had read some bad reviews on this company so not trusting them I called them again and asked them to confirm the free gift that was down with my order and to my surprize they had the HPLaptop. On the website they guarantee next wokring day delivery if your order is processed ...

Mobiles.co.uk - customer service - no problem

Advantages: Quick, easy to contact, friendly, free gift
Disadvantages: none.

Mobiles.co.uk - love it. ordered my new phone with free wii. bit apprehensive due to the poor reviews - but thought it was worth a try based on the free gifts being delivered WITH the phone. Phone ordered Friday - Sony K810i. £35 p/m, 600 mins and 500 texts. The order went through, but I didn't receive my phone or gift on the saturday as expected. I checked my email, and they had informed me there was a problem with my order - and I needed to contact ...
...from the post office. Mobiles.co.uk couldn't help enough. I received my replacement phone 3 days later (ps - I didn't have to return my wii, - good job - my husband was addicted to guitar hero !) I also had to port my number - I was already with O2 on a contract - my new contract was with O2 - and to port my number I needed to go onto payas you go, then over to my new contract. This is standard - from O2 to O2. just took a couple of extra days ...

Buying a Mobile Phone Contract with Mobiles.co.uk

Advantages: Quick delivery
Disadvantages: Inactive Sim to begin with

I recently bought an O2 contract that came with a free LG Cookie mobile phone, free Wii and free Wii Fit. My boyfriend had already had great service when buying a mobile phone and receiving a free Playstation 3, and I'm glad that I found the process just as easy! I placed my order late on Sunday evening and was playing on the Wii on Tuesday - very quick service. And also free delivery! I had great customer service over e-mail, very quick responses ...

Do NOT use!

Advantages: None!
Disadvantages: Where do I start? Bad, bad, bad customer services, Mis-selling tarriffs, Long hold times......

...however, when bought up with mobiles.co.uk they say it's usually £30 and reduced to £25, (which is NOT what O2 confirmed to me a number of times)! Thinking about small claims court as they just refuse to sort it out! My emails go unanswered. Apparently there is a 4 working day turn around for the supervisor (Zoe Hirst) but as yet I've been waiting 2 weeks!!! Every email you send goes back into the queue, even if its already an open case. So if ...
...and spoke to an advisor mobiles.co.uk should be proud of (she couldn't help as not a supervisor but she listened to what I was saying (and understood it) and found out what was happening for me, it turns out that the complaint was with their marketing department! I was told I'd get a responce from the supervisor soon. Well, today I still hadn't heard, so I called again (think I know their hold music word for word now)! The advisor put me on hold ...

samasung jet super service from mobiles.co.uk

Advantages: No overbearing salesmen, straight forward order process quick delivery
Disadvantages: none encountered

...but always came back to mobiles.co.uk as site the easiest to navigate. Decided I wanted a touchscreen phone so plumped for the Samsung jet which in my opinion is a decent enough phone with all the stuff I will ever need. Deals offered were very appealing and with such a varied choice quite hard to choose one. Hard cash always wins though! Ordering process very straight forward with decent comms to let you know deilivery dates. Wasn't next day delivery ...

mobiles.co.uk

Advantages: Good when they get it right
Disadvantages: Still to be determined

...me. When I contacted mobiles.co.uk about the duplicate order, by email of course, they duely sent me a returns number, but informed me that I had to send the package back to them, at my expense, and contact both the phone insurance and gadget support companys, on premium rate telephone numbers, to inform them that I was cancelling the phone contracts on a phone that I had not ordered. Also, that the phone contract itself would not be cancelled ...
...and within the 14 day cancellation period supply with any contract. Remembering that I live in Northern Ireland, and with the postal service in uncertain status, whats to say that the package would not be delayed in getting back to them? I take it I would be liable for a phone contract that I did not order and do not want. This is still ongoing at present and as yet I have not received my first, ordered, free gift. If I receive a second free gift ...

Ordered a Nokia 6700 - great experience with Mobiles.co.uk

Advantages: Good website, prices and fast delivery
Disadvantages: None yet

I recently ordered a couple of phones from Mobiles.co.uk; a Nokia 6700 and a Samsung Tocco Ultra. Both of these were on cashback offers, which I have done previously with a number of other online companies successfully. After my good experience with ordering the Samsung, I ordered the Nokia for my girlfriend a couple of onths later. I have to say that on both occasions the prices on this website were better than all others I checked. I haven't yet ...

mobiles.co.uk / o2 iphone

Advantages: quick, cheap, quidco cashback
Disadvantages: communication, account navigation

...on the o2 network via mobiles.co.uk as you ca get £60 cashback via quidco. All in all it was a good service without any major issues or delays. I had the phone in my hands 4 days after initially ordering it. The credit check and subsequent order process was quick and faultless. At one point I did send an email asking about the progress of the delivery and had a very generic reply sent back to me which did not help or explain anything to me. Navigating ...

FINALLY a phone that does it all and beat iPhone - The HTC-HD2!

Advantages: quick service, excellent prices, straight forward - not to mention the 5* star handset
Disadvantages: none

After about 3 years of searching for a replacement phone for my beloved XDA Orbit phone, I finally found a phone which I liked and which does all an iPhone does....except better and with Windows mobile. However, that was only the beginning. I had to try and find the phone somewhere. The O2 shops advertised them, but didn't have any in their stores. They didn't have them on the online shop either and with Vodafone the cheapest deal wasn't cheap at ...
...www.mobiles.co.uk website, which immediately offered me a better deal than available with any of the operators....and they also had the handset in stock. 2 days later and with NO HASSLE whatsoever...I now have my HTC-HD2....and it's everything it promised to be.....except the build quality is actually better than I had dared hope for. Highly recommended - both handset and Mobiles.co.uk. ...

mobiles.co.uk

Advantages: Better deals than the High Street could offer
Disadvantages: Need a computer!

GREAT....Used mobiles.co.uk for the first time to purchase a Blackberry on a o2 contract....I spent time to compare their offer both 'on line' and High Street, neither could compare comparably. The transaction was secure and smooth, the website was easy to use. I was kept up to date on the progression of my order via email and notified, again by email when my phone would be delivered. The phone was delivered by DHL during the Christmas and New Year ...
...On receipt, the phone was exactly as the description, it included an Invoice which detailed my order and the mobile phone number. On installing the SIM my phone was instantly ready to use. I had been offered a phone insuranace which I later cancelled due to already having a previous insurance in place. I contacted them and it was dealt with straight away. In my opinion this is a first class service. ...

Simple to order, great deal, received quickly

Advantages: Great phone, good deal on the line rental
Disadvantages: The phone itself if quite long, but I knew that by checking the dimensions

...Chocolate BL40 mobile phone through mobiles.co.uk . In my opinion this is the best touch phone on the market for my needs. I really like the QWERTY keyboard facility on it and the large screen. I have since ordered a leather case for the phone from another supplier on ebay - very reasonably priced and it keeps the phone protected. I found mobiles.co.uk on the internet when I searched for cheap contract phones. They have a massive selection of handsets ...
...I couldn't find a better deal anywhere else and I got 10 months half price line rental on my deal. You do not have to choose this, many come with other free gifts such as DAB digital radio, et.c I have already recommended mobiles.co.uk to my friends. ...

Great Deals

Advantages: Great deals, fast delivery
Disadvantages: Communiction

I purchased 2 handset deals, one came with a ps3 and the other was an upto date phone (Nokia N900). Good deals, certainly cheapest deals I could find and they send the freebies with the mobile phones, no waiting for the first 2 months bills etc. Delivery was delayed by the bad weather we had, so not Mobile.co.uk's fault. I called the sales team before ordering online and the call was answered very quickly. I then had to call the customer services ...
...be answered. On the website you're given proper numbers to call not the usual 0845 / 0870 etc. but you are warned priority is given to email support. I found the email support very slow, the suggested time for response is 4 business hours, I waited the 4 business hours and then called them as they didn't reply to my email. The problem I have is the sim will not register in the new handset, customer services have told me it is because of the number ...
