Hi there,
I'd like to purchase a Nokia 6101 for a friend of mine (she want's a flip and SE doesn't have any new and current affordable so don't start!). I found that Myworldphone.com and gsmphoneplanet has it for good prices.
Before I send off the funds, I'd like some feedback. Has anyone ever shopped there before? What was the experience like? Thanks.

Take caution when purchasing a phone from MyWorldPhone.com

I recently purchased a Motorola a780 from MyWorldPhone.com. Soon after receiving the product, I realized it was missing a key feature I wanted (EDGE support) even though it was described with this feature in the product description. I called them nearly a dozen times to rectify this problem (I even recommended they change the description on their website). The result: A partial refund. Even though it was their fault they misrepresented the product, I lost nearly $100 from this transaction.

I’ve asked to speak directly with the owner or supervising manager only to be hung up on twice. I’ve tried to get contact information for a manager or owner, and they would not give it to me. I’ve been blatantly lied to (twice they said I would get the balance of the refund by a certain date). This has been going on since October 21st with no resolve in sight.

I’ve pretty much given up on getting the rest of my money. This was the worst online transaction I have ever experienced.

If you are considering purchasing a phone from MyWorldPhone.com, my advice would be to look elsewhere.

I second the caution against buying from myworldphone.com. My husband bought a phone from them, and it was used (had someone else's data/picture still on it). It returned the phone but has not gotten a refund despite over 20 calls. A search of the web, reveals many other users with almost exactly the same experience. They give you the run-around and blatantly lie, hanging up on you, or putting you on indefinite hold. BEWARE of myworldphone.com. Do an internet search yourself. To date my husband has not gotten his money back!!!!
