Buymobilephones online review
BuyMobilePhones is a website selling mobile phones both on contract and on pay as you go to various different providers. The providers that they deal with are O2, T-Mobile, Orange, Vodaphone, Three, SimFree and Virgin.
Like a lot of mobile phone sites at the moment BuyMobilePhones is offering a variety of incentives to encourage people to buy from them. These include free gifts such as Xbox, Ipod, PSP, TV, Laptop, GHD Straighteners, Automatic cashback , and cashback by redemption offers.
The site is laid out so that you can search for different elements in different orders, so you can start by knowing what phone you want and then search that way for different offers available with that phone, or you could start by looking at a specific network and then looking at the phones and offers available within just that network. As well as this, you can search by free gift, or you can look at what the site terms it’s special offers, and finally you can search by what’s currently popular, so if you’re not sure what you want, you have several different ways of looking to see what there is available.
Overall the site is reasonably well laid out, images of the phones are good and clear, and the information given seems pretty thorough. The site is secure for payment, and delivery is free unless it states otherwise for that product.
My biggest criticisms for this site are that some of the pages seem a little slow to load, and that I could find nowhere on the site where you can see what the payment methods are unless you go into the payment process with an order.
In theory the site has a ‘tell a friend’ section where by referring your friends to the site you get something back when they make a purchase. However at the time of writing this article, that section of the site wasn’t working.
The site has been going for eleven years, and is a member of the safebuy web code of practice. The site also supports internet number porting so you can port you old mobile number to your new contract when you make the purchase saving you the hassle of doing it separately and/or letting all your friends know you have a new number.
