im that didn't work. Had to order a new one when it came it won't register. Sitting using an old phone with a different number. Now have to go into a Vodafone shop which is miles away. When I have time to see if they can register the phone and get the dam thing to work. My first bill comes out on the 14th. With a phone I can't use fuming is an understatement!!!

Not a UK iPhone

Whilst the price, delivery and initial communication from Fonehouse was very good if, like me, your iphone stops working after a few months you are screwed. On taking my iPhone to an Apple store I was told the phone was previously sold in India and as such was not subject to a UK guarantee. But Fonehouse are refusing to repair or replace my phone.
