Carphonewarehouse Credit

Hi

Brought a sony j110i for my son as a first phone , could not fault the
service from carphone ..............phone was free if brought with 10
quid credit. Now i start having problems ........web site says allow 7
days for credit , waited 9 days no credit . Phoned Virgin who said
nothing to do with us ............carphone said ok have updated your
request wait another 8 days . We are on 8 days and still no credit on
account .............i know its only 10 quid but do they have a secret
policy to stall you so that a certain percentage dont chase it up . Will
ring them again

You can get an unlocked 2310 from a CPW for 9.95+10quid credit
(19.95 total) on Virgin / TMobile / O2.

But the Tesco one will almost certainly be SPlocked, whereas
the CPW one will be unlocked GSM stock, allowing you to use any sim
including local sims when abroad.

IMHO well worth the extra 3 quid

Nope, I just like my phones unlocked so I can use any Sim,
especially abroad, when I can use a local Sim to make cheap local,
and calls back to the UK
