Hi,

I'm new in this forum and I got a question about Mobile Phones Direct. If I ordered one and choose my plan, so when the phone is released will the plan change or remain the same? Is it safe to order from MPD? Sorry first time buying phone contract online. Thanks =D

I've used them for the past 3 years, been good with me so far..I think this is the first time I have pre-ordered a handset so to speak though so my experience this time is a little different.

I'd say they look a pretty decent company, judging by their website. They are quick to answer questions too, I ordered today, hopefully a lot of people will have cancelled so I get mine quicker!

Haha, keep wishing

arrgghhh.. they offer the best deal for DHD but they didn't offer flexible booster. should I wait until the 18th (T-mobile) and go to my nearest store (my place has very less population, lol) to get one or pre-ordered at MPD. hmm..

if i pre-order one now i might get it maybe extra another week? lot's of demand out there and definitely MPD will not have enough stock to meet all the demand. but if i get it in my nearest T-Mobile store i might get it first on the spot or maybe not. LOL.

Take into consideration if you go into a T-Mobile store, you will pay more for the handset on the same tariff..It just happens that way.

As an idea, buy the phone from MPD, then call up T-Mobile and ask them to apply the booster?.

EDIT: I'm curious on here as to how many people have pre-ordered from MPD and on what tariffs

Well nobody here can really say if you will pass or not..Probably more than likely, for the security of T-Mobile, they will ask you for a deposit...usually about

I got TopCashback on mine, there's a number of Cashback Companies that offer cashback with MPD so it's well worth checking if your favourite one does.

Even better, if you are on Firefox, use an add on called "Cashback Guardian" which will let you know when you navigate to a site that offers cashback

Never heard of TopCashBack..but they offer quite a few there..Thanks for that..do they charge a yearly subscription like Quidco?

Just installed the Add-on..very useful, thanks again :)

EDIT: so what deal did you get with MPD?
