    Is dialaphone.co.uk trustworthy?
    I am considering the samsung galaxy note and on dialaphone for £20.50/month on orange I can get the phone free but the same tariff on the orange website wants a £210 fee for the phone at the start.

    Seems a bit dodgy to me to be so much cheaper and how would orange allow this?

    I've had a contract with them in the past, they were fine until it came to claiming cashback when they started making us jump through as many hoops as possible.

    Yes it's fine I used it and got my contract for £20. Just make sure you remember to cancel all extra stuff they give you by default. And remember to claim back your redemptions then its a really really cheap contract.

    Oh and they get away with it because they make the money back when people forget to cancel the default super expensive gadget helpline and insurance. Because it makes you pay for them six months up front( but it gives you a free month to five you chance to cancel

    Give Phones4U a ring, they should be able to direct you to the relevant department to cancel
