Anyone have any experience with buymobilephones.net?

I've been looking to get an HTC Touch Pro2 on monthly contract, preferably o2. But the only network I have found it on is Vodaphone, who I don't want to go with due to bad past experiences.

buymobilephones.net seem to sell the phone on o2 and orange, which is weird because it's not listed on the o2/orange websites. Has anyone had any dealings with this company? can I trust them?

Also im assuming that once I have bought the phone I no longer need to have any dealings with them as my contract will be with o2?

I have used them for a couple of years along with mobiles.co.uk (carphone warehouse). They seem fine to me, I've just upgraded one of my contracts through them which was a lot better than Orange was offering me themselves. Upgraded at 2.30 thursday afternoon, phone was with Friday mid-morning, perfect condition.

I would say the only difference between buymobilephones.net and mobiles.co.uk is the "free" gift system. With buymobilesphones.net you sometimes have to send voucher off to get the free gift, whereas with mobiles.co.uk they sent it with the phone normally.

Edit - No you don't need to have dealings with them after you have bought the phone (unless you want to at contract end etc).

I recieved a free Sony Vaio laptop from them. No issues whatsoever. I gave them a few calls before sorting out a new contract and who I spoke to seem to be ok.

I used them a couple of years ago, got my xbox 360 no problem at all. Only difference between that contract and the 'proper' orange one was, if I recall, I had 1000 texts a month and direct through orange it would have been unlimited. I dropped the contract a fiver and put it back up, direct through orange, and it went to unlimited.
