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

-

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! ;D
Phones4U must have made some sort of sign they wanted 'something' to happen...... just greed, I suspect. :-\

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...?

It depends on the actual contract. In some cases its with the network, with the shop being the retailer, but in some cases, Phones4U were the airtime supplier.
So it depends on the individuals contract here :)

I wouldn't comment if it was Voda or any of the others, but orange/EE are very fussy about what software goes on their handsets as you know and what service plans are agreed. They simply don't let third parties in. Ime....

The point being is it isn't an EE/Voda/O2 phone, strictly, as per if you bought direct from the network. Its a P4U phone. Same as with the Carphone Whorehouse, or Dixons, or whatever its called this week.
Obviously dependent on contract, as all these places do also resell directly what the retail arm of these networks provide as well... ...which is why its not always straightforward who you are with.
