Conrad Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I water damaged my phone the other day so my brother lent me his Sony Ericsson K800i until my contract's up in June. As it's locked to Three network I bought an unlock code from this website: http://www.unlockcentral.co.uk/ I entered the required info as requested and awaited my instructions. I've just received an email saying they can't unlock my phone and I would have known this if I'd read the terms & Conditions on this page They wont give me a refund but said I've credit with them until I have a phone that needs unlocking! I know it's only £3.29 (they sneakily added VAT after I'd made payment via Paypal) but it's principal, I'll have to pay that again somewhere else now. Allowing you to buy something they don't have then keeping your money is theft surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiten55 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 im guessing if its in their t&c's they have a strong case. crappy thing to do though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aero-M Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 done exactly the same to me. and they reckon you will come back and use the credit on another phone! jerks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conrad Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 It's totally intentional too, hence you have to physically type the brand and model as opposed to using drop down boxes like they do with the network field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesC Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Yep they did it to me too about 6 months ago. Ripping b"%$&ds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fri3ndly Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 Lesson learnt? I know it can be a PITA, but with dodgy sites like that you just have to! Always read the T's and C's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
