Results tagged “Carphone Warehouse” from Birmingham Mail - Is It Just Me

If you want a really good laugh go into Carphone Warehouse and ask for a new battery cover for a mobile phone. I have a Nokia N95 and the cover, a flimsy bit of plastic, lost a couple of lugs this week so is currently held on by a bit of sticky tape, very high tech

Personally I think the cover should be covered by warranty - wear and tear is a few years not a few months - but as it isn't I was expecting some rip off price of £4.99 or such like for an item giving plenty of change from 20p to produce. The first time the young lady, smiling sweetly, told me the price I thought my aging old ears had deceived me but no, when she repeated it, I had heard correctly - Carphone Warehouse are charging a staggering £45 for a bit of plastic for the back of a phone.

Not that anything really surprises me about Carphone Warehouse though, having waiting more than a year - so far - for caller display to be restored on my TalkTalk phone line, but £45 - no wonder she was smiling.

Anyone else got mobile phone or landline horror stories to relate?
