The Samsung B130 is £4.95 from Carphone Warehouse

That’s not a typo. It is Four Pounds and Ninety-Five Pence Only. Less than FIVE POUNDS! They’ll be giving them away in Christmas Crackers soon. Carphone Warehouse have launched the handset today — just in time for Christmas. So think twice about whether or not you want a circa £900 commitment to get hold of [...]

Unsolicited ‘Revoo’ from Carphone Warehouse

Unsolicited ‘Revoo’ from Carphone Warehouse

I’m not clear on whether this is good marketing from the Carphone Warehouse. I just got the following email through from them. Or from Revoo. Or both. I never remember asking Carphone Warehouse to introduce me to Revoo. I never like confusing people. Carphone is a brand I nkow. Revoo, I’ve heard off. But I’ve [...]

Carphone Warehouse: 40 days/nights of pain – follow-up

Good news. 3 different folk from Carphone Warehouse made contact with reader Ed after his rather painful experience with their repairs section. I’m pleased to report that all is now good, resolved, fixed. Meanwhile I’m still seething about their Lifeline insurance rubbish. So much so I’ve added them to the top of the page. See [...]

Okay, so we’ve all seen all the phones that are coming up from Motorola lately, right? Earlier today, they have unveiled another ‘MOTOsomething’, the MOTOJEWEL here in the UK.    Motorola is targeting the ‘female fashionista’ with this phone. In an effort to attract the ladies, the company is bundling a mini clutch bag that has just [...]

Carphone Warehouse’s 40 days and 40 nights of pain

A mobile phone is a commodity item. Agree? You get them in different styles and price ranges but, ultimately, they’re a commodity item. If you want them replaced when they break or if you lose them, you need to get insurance. Other than that, work on the basis that you need to pony up the [...]

Carphone Warehouse pre-Christmas event

Carphone Warehouse pre-Christmas event

I wandered over to Victoria this evening take a look at what would be big for Christmas this year from Carphone Warehouse (silly name, good shop). It ranged from the ‘meh’ to the ‘wow’ so here’s a quick overview in pictures.  The event was organised as a ‘home’ with each vendor in a different room… [...]

Mobile Shop staff… You amuse me!

No seriously! Despite how rubbish you can be (note, not all are that rubbish), you have this ability to make me laugh, even when it’s not funny! You see, on Wednesday I took a trip down to my local high street, a busy one at that; in all I would hazard a guess that there [...]

SOS: Samsung helping the victims of bullying and crime.

I was just browsing the Carphone Warehouse site, and noticed the “Back to School” offers they have. This however wasn’t what I was interested in; it was something called SOS Messaging. SOS messaging according to the CPH website is: “Feeling in danger? Simply press the volume key 4 times on your phone to discreetly alert [...]

The Carphone Warehouse does, but you don’t?

After reading Ewan’s article on the iPhone it reminded me of my trip I took to my local high-street on Friday. Now, being a contributor on SMS Text News, I only thought it was my duty to pop into the o2 store, and the Carphone Warehouse. Firstly I stepped into the o2 store, and I [...]

Carphone Warehouse and the effing iPhone

If you get the SMS Text News newsletter you’ll have already read this rant from our friend Alex Meisl at Sponge, but we thought we’d post it again for the rest of the masses. Over to Alex! — I’ve been a happy user of a E61i for getting on for a year now and like [...]

I’ve just bought an iPhone

I couldn’t be arsed waiting for a 16GB device. Instead, I ordered an 8GB. And I bought it from Carphone Warehouse. The three stage purchasing process was, as they say in France, a piece of piz. Click. Click. Done. I’ve never bought from Carphone online before. I hadn’t been that impressed, previously, at trying out [...]
