Has anyone ever ordered a phone from...

[Joe Eris]

Hey people, I was just wondering if any of you have ever heard of, or ordered a phone from an online company called "Topcellulardeals.net" cause I just ordered a galaxy s3 from them yesterday for an amazing price. But when I tried to find some reviews on them online, I get nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You'd get better response if you put the info in the title rather than go with the teaser title like that.

What was the deal you got?

The prices seem pretty normal to me(at least hte off contract ones). Did you do a contract deal? The $19 for a new line with sprint is pretty good

I paid $39.99 out the door. And they threw in a samsung flip case.

I've moved this over to the Android Lounge as it should increase the chances of finding someone who's used the site before

Wait... Just $39.99 outright?

Are you certain it's a real Galaxy S3, as made by Samsung, or is a KIRF?

$39.99 isn't that low for an S3 on contract. They were at $99 during Christmas, and then jumped back to $150. Now, the S4 is at $150, so I'd say $50 or less "SHOULD" be market price for an S3 on contract.

I know...it's never that easy, but it just seems right to me

Ah it's in the US and contract, I can understand that. I get so used to things that say cheap Galaxy S3 or S4 or Note 2 or whatever. I thought it might have been an S3 from Shenzhen.

Well, I assumed it was on contract. There's no way you can get an S3 for $39 off contract (unless it's been blacklisted )

Looks shady

That's what I thought originally when I first saw the site. First thing I noticed was something like "Cheap S4, $80",... and I thought, "Oh yeh here we go, another Shenzhen trading company pretending to be American", didn't see the stuff about contracts.

Apparently the company is in the US, not China, and so should be OK.

Think one should be careful when buying premium phones online, there's a lot of fakes around, especially from companies that one might not have heard of. Asking for a second opinion probably a good idea.
