Outside of fleaBay (never again!), I've dealt with the following shops:

  • Amazon (carrying more and more unlocked phones lately) - not-so-great prices, wide range of shipping options (including free), easy returns
  • MyWorldPhone - lowest prices, terrible customer service, sometimes ship out used/returned phones as "new"
  • Pure Mobile - good prices, great customer service, sometimes "unlocked" phones are Rogers branded, terrible shipping (fast but little to no protective packaging for transit)
  • Hi-Mobile - very good prices, poor customer service, phones may have carrier branding (call first!), amazing shipping (fast and well-packaged)


Where have you shopped, and what were your experiences?

IMO Amazon's the best for unlocked phones. Their prices aren't that bad and I know I can always trust them. I pay for piece of mind.
