Ah that's where my post went. Thought I was going mad on the other thread for a minute.

I cant unserstand how they can call in the receivers when they made £100M profit....? and put a hell of a lot of people out of work...

[The Red Baron]

Someone got the money out beforehand, clearly.

In a nutshell, I think the 3 big networks refused to supply them any more...   ...which smacks of bad bill paying

Yep, namely Vodafone shortly followed by EE who must have seen the writing on the wall.

Both Vodafone and EE were (separately) in talks to take over Phones4U earlier in the year.

I suspect they got annoyed when their offers were refused and refused to carry on trading with them.

So Voda and EE decided to bully them coz they didn't get their way, so spat their dummy out....

It's a theory.  I'm not sure it'll be as simple as that though! 

Phones4U must have made some sort of sign they wanted 'something' to happen...... just greed, I suspect.

Bah, not now it seems. 

If the contract is with EE it should all be fine. Phones 4 u are just middle men after all.

Not true Im afraid, EE are Network Operators with Oftels permission to retail direct to the Public, Phones4U are Airtime Providers, not EE Resellers so the Terms of Contract are with Phones4U not EE.

EE will honour the contract, as the contract, and hand set are supplied by EE. Or Voda or whoever.

If you want the phone unlocked, you ring EE. More minutes, EE....;

Faulty hand set/insurance claim/loss or service/settings issue/text messages won't send, anything, you ring EE. As it's an EE contract.

Once the deal is done, contract signed, f4u wash their hands. Same with horehouse. Same with mobile phones direct etc etc.

The service provider then takes over, as the contract is with EE.


...although I'm not sure about the cash back bit...?
