Email the seller of that auction, he's got plenty of them up for sale. Remember - if you do buy from him, make sure you get him to create an auction for you, otherwise if they don't come you're up shit creek without a paddle.

Same guy, previous auction. Someone got one for £220. If you're buying 5+ I bet you could get them for £200 a pop.

Thanks for the help. I've also managed to track down the people who supply carphone warehouse, called them up and asked if they sell off handsets themselves.

Apparently they normally don't, but as I work for the government and only need sim free they are grabbing some good prices for me now! Mr. Green

I dont really understand what it is? Crying or Very sad

Is it a phone with no sim and a set contract no matter how long you talk for?

Ah cool, But why cant you just buy normal phones then get them unlocked?

I imagine a 9300 won't be very easy to unlock.

Also, pay as you go phones have loads of horrible branding etched to the case and as a startup screen and everything. Might not take much to get rid of, but much easier to buy an unbranded sim-free one in the first place.

It's also trying to find a 9300 as a pay as you go. As it's a business phone they only tend to sell them on contract.

I've managed to find them over £100 cheaper than vodafone are trying to charge us, and when your looking to buy a lot of them it soon adds up!
