Again another good deal if you don't want the 5GB data. Although 5GB never lasts as long as you think ;)

Ordered yesterday and arrived 9am today. Chose to ignore negative reviews as they all seemed to be about people struggling to claim cash back or not being eligible for the deal they had originally wanted after credit checks which doesn't apply to me.
The phone arrived factory sealed, there were a few marks on the box but nothing of concern. The phone itself was in perfect condition and I googled the IMEI number before confirming just to double check it had never been activated before after reading something about someone being sent a refurbished phone.
Overall I'm very happy! Though I can't comment on customer service as I haven't dealt with them at all.

I knwo this has expired but just wanted to chime in with my experience! I was also skeptical about this deal as I've never dealt with mobiles.co.uk before, but I went ahead anyway as the offer was worth taking a chance on! Places the order on Wednesday, mobiles.co.uk sent confirmation emails every step of the way and I received the phone the next day, brand new seal in packaging with no problems (so far anyway). Definitely worth the punt!

Just to throw my own experience in. I had my reservations (see my posts at #45 & #49) but decided to go for this deal on the silver phone on behalf of my daughter. The experience was very positive: ordering, communications & delivery were all as I hoped and the phone that was delivered was brand new, boxed and fully sealed. Set up with EE was also very straightforward, so for me a very worthwhile deal.

Tried tech support, they said there's no actual option in the system for them to do that so going to have to get PAC and take number out to another network and then back in again. PITA

I'll have to give that a try then, what number did you ring for that ?

Hi, I was told on 2 occasions by EE retentions that I would have to do what you describe. I didn't want to go through the hassle tbh especially as the phone will lock to first network too. I tried another route and went through to technical support rather than retentions and hey presto :smiley: they were really helpful and the number switch should be complete in the next 24-48 hours. I then just need to call them to close my old contract. Give tech support a try :innocent:

Honestly, I found using Giffgaff the least fuss. It costs £10 to activate the SIM, but you can retrieve your PAC from the online portal.
You can spend that £10 as you like, for example, on a month of Spotify Premium.

Thanks, presumed as much :disappointed:
I don't suppose there is a recommended SIM from another network that I can use as middle man that will give me the least fuss?

Is there any way to keep your EE number if you're already an EE customer and taking this deal? Or do we have to port the number away from EE and then back again? Seems a royal pain.

The imei number on apple is recognised but says the phone has never been activated yet ( a good sign) and I've had a text and email saying DPD will be here between 2 and 3 this afternoon.

27 Jun 16#54
I was sceptical but ordered Friday and its due today, on an email they have provided the IMEI number so its easy enough to check this on the Apple website so see if the phone is new or not.

No problems here, ordered Thursday and received phone on Friday lunch time emails sent at every stage of process and DPD give you a one hour delivery slot. These deals don't last forever so grab it whilst you can.

I know it looks bad, but I took out a similar sort of deal on a 6S Plus last month. Initially, I was skeptic, but then I had a realisation;
Don't a majority of people who post reviews of a company, do it only when they receive bad CS?
I thought 'sod it, what could hurt?'
Luckily I did, because I was accepted in an hour or so, and the phone was delivered the next day via DPD. I saved at least £200 by taking this risk. But, hey yo. Just my two cents. :wink:

I am in the same boat as you - looking at it for my daughter - and have the same dilemma. The company is owned by Carphone Warehouse and the offer is legit. However - if you check my comment #45 - you will note how poor a lot of the reviews are. I already have 2 contracts with EE and called them to see if they could match this deal and the answer was a resounding 'no'. The contract itself would cost you £10 per month more and the handset would be 6-7 times more expensive as an up front cost going directly with EE according to the lady I spoke to at EE.

26 Jun 16#48
Isnt this some sort of a scam? They have terrible reviews but the price is unbelievably low. I want to get this deal for my girl but im hesitant whether its fake or not? Is it possible to get this directly from EE? Can someone explain me how this mobiles.co.uk works ? are the phones refurbished or used or what?
Done all the due diligence stuff to get this sorted for my daughter but - after looking at the reviews on TrustPilot (almost 53% are 1 star with many saying they would have given 0 Stars if the system allowed) - I am going to go directly to EE as I have two contracts with them already. Link to TrustPilot review of mobiles.co.uk:

Says this on their website: Please note: Unfortunately we can't' guarantee that the seal on your mobile phone box won't be broken. This is due to spots checks that are made in our warehouse before despatch. If the seal has been broken when you receive your phone, this is the reason why and there is no need to contact us.

Got one off these a few months back and I just bought as a new customer and then got PAC off old network n gave it to new one via their online chat, which also closes down your old account (my contract had expired).

Do you get to transfer your number from another provider? Can't see where you enter the PAC code details.

The 7 will be October? Why would you think that, when the 5, 5S, 6 and 6S were released mid Sept? I'll concede that it's a few months, rather than a couple :P
I got this exact same deal back in October. Given the next gen is out in a couple of months I'd have expected it to be better than this. Glad I didn't wait now!

I got the 64gb 6S for free on an EE 29.99 p/m tariff with 4gb data about 6 months ago. This barely beats that so don't think it's scorching but if it's the best deal right now (I haven't looked) then I guess it's hot. Hard to believe the prices haven't changed much in all that time though.

DO NOT USE MOBILES.CO.UK
My phone accidentally came with a "refurbished tote" sticker on with "knowhow repair centre" all over it. Therefore I would have unknowingly been getting a "brand new" re-sealed and repaired phone. I called to complain and they said it was a refurb and that it must have been a mistake. To anyone that's unsure of what a tote is just imagine the crates that the fruit and veg are in in supermarkets. Now imagine how many refurbished iPhones you can fit in one of those. Now think how they manage to get the deal so cheap. It's safe to say I returned the phone and cancelled the contract.

It will be locked to EE as it locks to the first SIM that is inserted. If you sign up to the EE contract I don't see the point in putting another SIM in it anyway. :confused:
