Mobile Phones Direct
Reviews & Experiences

Reviews show a clear split: many customers praise quick delivery, friendly staff and an easy ordering process, while a smaller but significant group report serious delivery and communication failures. Multiple positive reviews cite next‑day delivery and helpful telephone support; several negative reviews describe long waits, cancelled orders and confusing courier notifications. Communication with couriers (DPD) and stock/dispatch information are recurring points of failure in complaints. If you consider buying, check stock and delivery terms, keep order confirmations and monitor courier messages closely to reduce risk.
