Hi,
Did anyone used this website before: http://www.baymobile.co.uk? They sell in bulk and their prices seem to be suspiciosly low... 25 new 3G iPhones 16GB for £2445 that's £97.8 per handset! For a device that is retailing at over £350, it looks too good to be true. I googled this website but couldn't find anything. Their address is in Northern Ireland and appears on Department of Finance and Personnel. Any comments would be welcome, I thought of buying phones here, but reluctant. -------------------- |

I find it amusing that the website is offering unlocked iPhone 3G's which to the best of my knowledge are not able to be sim unlocked.

Is it really worth the time and effort, for every one you track down there's another two that will appear.
