I think it says more about P4U shops than anything else,
i've always bought my 3 contracts online.

Why would someone agree to an expensive or unsuitable contract ?

That's exactly what the 3 store explained to us when we subscribed.
Don't deal with P4U.

You've never used (or is be used by) P4U then?
They are the "Boiler room" of the mobile phone retailers.
If you manage to escape one of them with your trousers still on you're doing
well

To my shame I have to admit using them, but it was to get the Christmas 2004
Voda upfront deal that cost them millions.

I wouldn't dream of going anywhere near them unless I knew exactly the deal
I was after before I went it
