Bill Pay Phones

misstearheus

So I think I'm gonna have to give in and buy a New Phone. Likely Bill-Pay. BUT. There is sweet feic all Phones to choose from!! Why is this the case?? Every feicing Phone Company should be obliged to let a Customer buy Bill-Pay or Pre-Pay! There's hardly any at all! I looked on Vodafone and Carphone Warehouse. Is there any other Sites? I want to buy Nokia. But I don't see any Nokias at all on C.W. or Voda in their Bill-Pay Sections unless they're somewhere else on either Site but I can't find them...

What am I gong to do now? So aside from Apple, which I won't be getting, choices available seem to be Samsung or Voda Smart.... I want a feicing Nokia.

Thanks but I'm looking for Bill-Pay.

Wow thanks! I just see they have some sort of Credit system! Yeah I remember another Clothing Company called Family Album or something used to have a credit system in place too years ago. That sounds the business! But also sounds too good to be true!! Will look into it anyway. Thanksamil!

They're not taking new Accounts at the moment!! SO close!! May still be able to do it ringing them tomorrow or Monday but would have been handy to do it all online now and send on any Documentation they need and get me Phone!

Do Argos do anything like that I wonder... Or any other Companies... Oh they feicing do actually! But it takes a couple of weeks messing around, I was gonna buy a Laptop on credit off Argos before but ended up paying all in cash that day, as they couldn't find a Manager to sort out the Paper-work side of things or some other excuse. :rolleyes::rolleyes:

I wonder are Family Album still in business or if they've started selling Products as well as Clothes I must check, and see if there's any other Companies that give credit....

Harvey Norman, Compu store, Currys.

Ooh wow had no idea about these! Is that why expensive i-Phones are so popular?!?

Must check out those other ones in a minute. Looked up Oxendales.
51.5% A.P.R.
Then 1.5% Handling Charge for every Statement / Payment.
Then a 2.6cent in the euro "Service Charge" :rolleyes:
(After your first statement a service charge of 2.6cent in the € is added to the balance outstanding.)
There is probably a handful more hidden Then's that I havn't read yet!

Still have to buy Phone-Credit after that! But owning the Phone outright after twelve months or whenever ya pay for it, beats being Voda or C.W.'s Contract-biatch...



Harvey Norman = X. (Phones not an item they sell on Credit it seems.)
Currys = X. (You need to spend €399, would only be spending half that for a Phone.)

Will probably go with Voda or C.W. altogether and can fuss-free pick up me Phone today!

Oh I never looked up Argos Website see can I sort out credit arrangement online, probably see need to go In-Store and ar$e about waiting on a Manager in the Shop though.

Looks like Voda or C.W. Website it is so!

Now I just need to pick between Samsungs or Voda Smarts..

misstearheus

Oh but waaaaitt a minute! I could probably still go with Currys and get a Nokia 8 for around €400 or whatever it is....

What would I have to pay then?! I still have to buy Credit for my Phone after paying for the loan too like.... I'm not great at these things! I think it says "Spread the cost over 36 months at 22.99 APR." So what would I be paying...


Well they don't seem to do the Nokia 8 but quite a few Phones there for around the 400 mark if I wanted to get it on credit. So how do I work out for 36 months..... I should know this...

Why would you buy a phone over 3 years? The life expectancy of a phone is 2 years.

There are plenty of cheaper pay as you go phones if you can't afford an expensive one.

2 years?! Wow that's depressing. But I would imagine only a small minority live / operate religiously by that, unless their Phone breaks by itself. I've a feeling some people would have their Phone for quite a lot longer.

What I'm asking in the Thread is for methods of credit. Can't afford to buy Pre-Pay. Many people all over the World sign a Bill-Pay Contract for two years or whatever and they only own the Phone after then. Thanks for your reply.

Search on amazon. Amazon Germany seems to be the best value for quality phones. These are simple free so will work on any network

I'm guessing if you couldn't afford prepay, it will be difficult to get credit at all? Bill pay plans with a phone are generally 40-80 euro a month. I would recommend buying a cheap phone sim free and then getting a sim only plan around 20 euro a month.

Cantona's Collars

If money is tight, look at something like this.
Sim free so you can choose your own network. Luca mobile have a very good €15 a month deal.
