The Carphone Warehouse - mobile phone dealer

The Carphone Warehouse introduction

The UK's best known mobile phone dealer, The Carphone Warehouse offers a wide range of online deals on popular contract mobile phones. Deals cover all the major UK mobile networks except Vodafone (which works exclusively with Phones4U and also sells direct). The Carphone Warehouse also offers pay monthly mobile broadband deals, with included / bundled hardware ranging from USB modems to free laptop PCs.

The Carphone Warehouse's online shop offers the ability to search for deals by mobile phone model, free gift or network. For each deal, their site summarises exactly what's included and how any special offer works:

Certain pay monthly mobile phones come with a choice of free gifts or discounted line rental. Line rental discounts come as either "automatic money back" (with no need to claim) or "chequeback" deals, where discounts are provided as cheques that need to be claimed at specific times.

The Carphone Warehouse profile

The Carphone Warehouse is a leading independent mobile phone dealer not just in the UK, but also in many other countries across Europe, including under a slightly different name. In the UK, the business trades both in the high street and online as The Carphone Warehouse.

The Carphone Warehouse is also the UK's exclusive mobile phone dealer channel partner for selling the Apple iPhone, which is otherwise only available from O2, the iPhone's exclusive UK network operator. CPW's online shop offers easy access to pay monthly mobile phones via categories including "every phone & offer", "top deals", "clearance deals", "FREE gift offers" and "smart phones".

The business has also acquired various online-only mobile phone dealers over time. Whilst these now form part of The Carphone Warehouse group, the business continues to operate them under their own brands. This multi-brand strategy benefits CPW in a number of ways, including helping it to maintain a broader online reach.

More reasons to buy from The Carphone Warehouse

Here are a few more reasons why you might wish to buy your next mobile phone online from The Carphone Warehouse:

  • Price promise: an undertaking to refund any difference in the overall price of a contract mobile phone deal up to a maximum of £50 if you find a cheaper deal within 7 days of purchase from another UK high street, telephone or online retailer that isn't part of the CPW group. Terms and conditions apply and smart phones (and iPhones) are excluded.
  • Ultimate price promise: again subject to terms and conditions, CPW will give you a credit voucher for any difference between the price you pay for a phone (with network connection) and any lower price listed for that phone in the next month's Buyers' Guide. As long as you've opted in to marketing communications, this will be sent automatically if applicable.
  • FREE delivery: all orders are delivered free within mainland England, Wales and Scotland, with higher value phones sent by courier the next working day.
  • In-stock guarantee: if CPW's online shop says an item's in stock, they guarantee that it really is - whereas some other dealers' or networks' online shops may not have access to the same kind of real-time stock level information.
