PHONES4U: The worst mobile phone shop in the world - probably
Young sirs wants a new mobile for his birthday. Happen to be in the Trafford Centre for some other shopping. Look at a few phone shops having seen a poster from BT mobile for a £9.99 per month deal. End up going into Stupid4U as its the nearest to where we were standing at the time. Ask the boy in the shop if you can get an Ericsson T630 on the BT deal. Boy swings into used car salesman mode, 'have a seat', 'I just need to ask you a few questions', alarm bells start ringing, but stay with it rather than what I wanted to do which was RUN AWAY!! After about an hour they then said they could not find any record of me on their credit check!! This is despite having a fisful of credit cards, driving licence etc. Told us that we could come back with our BT phone bill. Instinct is telling me to sack it & go to one of 20 odd other phone shops, but no...we pay £10 deposit 'to keep the phone' as it was a 'rare colour' (=scam to make you come back) ...back we go with phone bill...phone bill is 3 months and 3 days old...new one is in the post...won't do apparently...I blow top...scare off about 3 new customers (yeay) and alsoo have a go at myladdo for continually nipping to talk to other customers while dealing with us. £10 refund please...across the way to Carphone warehouse. Phone sorted in 5 minutes, plus an incar charger and handsfree kit for £5 down from £15.
So the jingle is Don't go to phones4U, don't go to phones4u, don't go to phones4u, ming-ming-ming-ming-minimnooo
