    I'm looking to buy the new samsung s4 or HTC one and considering doing it online. The main reason being there sim free so I can switch to 48. Is pixmania a trusted company? I seen phonesonline aswell and it looks good but more expensive than pixmania.
    Any help would be great!

    Amazon is a safe bet because of the no quibble guarantee,
    Parcel Motel if they wont send it over here.

    Another option is Vodafone PAYG, and then unlock it.

    Thanks for that, I looked into buying one from a few diff networks and for meteor and vodafone I have to spend 130 euro credit on the phone before I can unblock it, and o2 I have to have phone for 3 months 1st. I wanted to switch to 48 straight away because of the good deal and I don't want to go bill pay! I'm not really good at this oredering online crack as I'm a bit cautious it could be a scam! If ye were in my position what way would ye do it? I cant buy directly from samsung either unlike apple unfortunately!

    I meant unlock yourself (not difficult, with a little guidance) but I see the prices aren't as competitive as they used to be, so forget that option.

    Phonesonline are based in Greystones, if that's reassuring? Amazon is a little cheaper, but won't ship directly to you (just tried to test buy an S4).
