Phones4u/CarPhoneWarehouse alternatives online?

[t84]

Hi guys,

Do any of you know of any good online contract phone providers? I know these two are supposed to be absolutely shocking but my better half can't get a good deal with her current provider (Orange) so she's looking at alternatives.

Are any of them any good?

Thanks!

Are these good providers? Or are they likely to shaft you on a dodgy contract?

youl find that most online bargain places are offshoots of CW (eg e2save) but just be wary of any 'freebies' they throw in then charge you after the free period, though this happens anywhere, and iv used the cashback offers before but you have to be quite organised to make sure you get everything sent off correctly.

I've had my last 3 phones through BuyMobilePhones.net and I've got nothing bad to say about them - got a free PS3 last year and this year I got my phone (HTC Hero) for free when it would have been £200 directly from Orange.

Yeah this is it, she wants an N97 Mini but they won't give her one without taking stupid money.

She has insurance and her broadband provided by them though, so it's a bit of a situation as she wants to keep her BB service!
