- I just had a call from Phones4U asking me what I thought of it and was told something interesting.
All the BB10 devices sold at Phones4U are sold unlocked whether they were bought on contract or SIM free.
This makes me very happy as I travel a lot and means that I dont need to carry a second handset around with me.
Just thought that I would let others know.02-07-13 06:40 AMLike 0 - I just had a call from Phones4U asking me what I thought of it and was told something interesting.

Told them that I bought the phone sim free and all was good. Really loving this phone. Phones4U were quite relaxed and all cool when I ordered with them. Was a nice experience.
Anyhow next day i get a call saying that my order has been cancelled so rung them up and they said yes the system cancelled my order so asked them to re-order it but only to be told the price has gone up to �550 now. So told them to cancel and refund the charges back to my account.
So long story short, im now down over �900 because they still havent refunded the 2 charges the stupid muppets. Spoke to my bank, they said there is nothing they can do as its the retailer that needs to cancel the charges. Spent most of this morning trying to get some headway on this only to be told that it will take 7-10 working days for the money to be returned to my account....i swear what a bunch of inept ****ing morons phones 4 u are. Told them that ill be making a complaint and if my bank charges me for bounced direct debits then ill be wanting compensation for my charges, highly unlikely but worth a try. Im hoping these idiots put the money back into my account by tommorrow or ill be raging even more. Ive checked my bank account, the 2 charges havent come up on my account statement neither has the money left my account, seems like the money is 'frozen' because of the authorisation codes or whatever.
All i can say is that i wont be ordering from these idiots again.02-07-13 09:34 AMLike 0 - 02-07-13 09:45 AMLike 0
- Wish i could say the same about them myself, have had nothing but an atrocious service from them. On monday i placed an order for a black z10 sim free at �479. Got an email saying they received my order, all well and good but only to get a phone call from my banks fraud dept saying that ive been charged �480 twice when really it should have been only the once. Anyhow rung them up and they said they nothing on their system saying that ive been charged twice so i asked them again to check, which they did and said yes its been charged twice so asked them to refund the other charge, which they said they did.

Good luck!02-07-13 02:30 PMLike 0 - Yeah that's quite frustrating mate! Now it depends. Maybe the system made a mistake and they really can't see it. However, first you get your money back and then you can order it from maybe the CPW if they receive new devices. Otherwise try it again with the phones4U people. Maybe it really was a problem with the booking system and nobody could see it. Still sucks of course! Hope you'll get your Z10 soon.
Good luck!
I did speak to one of the guys on the phoneline and i asked him as to why the black z10 was much higher than the white one, he said its probably a glitch in the system ie said that if you placed an order for the z10 it would show out of stock and they are hoping by next week the price will be fixed. Dont know if he was talking out of his backside or what but ill be checking next week to see if the price has gone down. As much as i love the phone, theres no way its worth �550, in fact �480 is still too high for the phone but its better than paying over �500 i suppose.
Anyhow the wait for my black z10 still goes on, could pick one up on tmobile by upgrading my contract but at the moment im paying �21 a mth on a 12mth sim only plan which gives me everything unlimited and looking at the contract prices for the z10. Id have to pay �41 a month over 24mths to get unlimited everything then be charged a further �30 on top lol. 4G EE is worse though with their contract prices, unbelievably expensive to be quite honest.
The worst thing is that phones 4 u keep ringing me asking if i want to get the z10 on contract, when ive made it quite clear to them that one im not interested in getting it on a contract and secondly to stop bothering me with these calls. So far today i havent received a call from them, hopefully they have got the message.02-08-13 07:32 AMLike 0
