    I bought a second hand iPhone 5 off them over a year ago (September 2014) at this stage and came…read morewith 3 month warranty. A while after this was up I dropped it.. Broken screen so brought it in got a new screen which back then cost €90. I think a month after drop again and screen calibration went. Bring it in, new screen this time did a deal for €75 and then I bought a cover for €25. So as you can see giving them a lot of business. I ended up breaking the screen again while I was out of Dublin and got it fixed in another shop. They proceeded to inform me that the screen was "shocking quality, I'm not surprised it broke even with the case and tempered glass on". This screen now has lasted me since this time and the only reason I have decided to write this review now is I went in to see if they would trade it in and I could potentially buy a better model. They obviously remembered me as one greeted me upon entry by saying "No man, not again?" They didn't have any phones to my fancy and after leaving I thought about it and I'm glad I didn't do business with them again as they like to see repeat business obviously!

    Left my Galaxy Note II (international model) in to be repaired to replace the charging port back in…read moreAugust. They told me it would be two weeks max due to being international model. I rang every week after and five weeks in they still hadn't ordered it "because it's an international model, it's a difficult part to find in europe." When I told the guy on the phone that i found the necessary (international) part on my first attempt on Amazon UK and a site called etradesupply he didn't know what to say and that he was going to look for the required part on Monday....what was he doing up until now? That was late September. I had to ring them up constantly. Never any attempt by them to contact me and they wouldn't take my email which I thought was strange for a business. Also, a popular model of phone that is only two years old and they telling me it's difficult to get parts?? A really poor, amateurish service. Update: 2/11/14: Just over nine weeks in and still no phone or contact from them. Update: 7/11/14: They contacted me for the first time!!! No, it's not fixed but they excitedly tell me that they have a batch of battery pack chargers for me to charge the battery externally outside the phone. I hand over €20 for this cheap looking generic charger. No, it's actually €50. But they gave me €5 discount for them having my phone 10 weeks. How generous. No more than two hours total to charge the battery they tell me. After trying it when I got back, it's actually over 12 hours to get the battery to 78%. Have since seen the same charger on amazon for £3.24 since. Also, whatever they were doing with my phone when they had it, they damaged my samsung battery, with the top of the battery lose, I only bought it about a week before I dropped it into them. Ineptitude at it's worst. Surely, they haven't been in this job long because they don't seem to have a clue. DO NOT GO HERE.

    The Carphone Warehouse is a kind of stripped down version of 3, Meteor, Vodafone and O2 under one…read moreroof. You get to compare your options without having to trapes into each individual phone shop, but you're actually better off to do so as you may get a network-specific deal at the provider's own shop. But if you're rich and lazy, you may as well go here. Why is it called CARphone warehouse though? There's very little car related stuff in here.

    I just finished writing a review for the Rathmines shop and you think that would be enough. But…read moreit's not. Let me tell you a story... Once upon a time. Not that kind of story. I went in to Rathmines to buy phone credit and SIM cards for my students who were arriving and I asked, just out of curiosity, what were their cheapest phones. They showed me a phone and I got a great deal, so bought 4 of them. Then I said that I would be interested in buying in bulk and he said that I would need a letter, etc So I got all the paperwork done and went back to Rathmines, but they didn't have enough phones for me. They suggested going to Grafton St., which I did. I explained the above story to the really helpful shop assistant, Shauna and presented her with the note from my boss and the company brochure and she told me they didn't have enough phones. So I asked if I could get the total from different shops and she call ahead. Well, she spoke to the manager and he phoned all the shops in town and instead of me going on this wild cellphone chase, the manager went and got the remainder of the phones. Then they set up the phones for me, added the credit and sent them to the Rathmines shop. Now, isn't that service? Amazing. And they made me a cup of coffee. Really happy I did business with them...

    Firstly, let me begin by saying that each and every member of staff here are some of the most…read moredown-to-earth, helpful and genuine people I know of. Always been friendly to me and others, and sometimes that's what you need when it comes to return custom. Yes, as someone mentioned previously in their review, the store can sometimes be a bit haphazard in terms of keeping things clean and tidy, but I'd be willing to give the employees a bit of slack on that, as the store is in a super-busy part of the city centre as it relates to footfall. Onto the review: great store, could be better though, even though it's a priority place to visit for movies and games. On occasion, you might plan to buy something there, but a "customer" has swiped the box. I'd like to see some security measures employed by the owner, though if that hasn't happened after the first 7 years, then I don't know... Also, the queuing system drives me crazy. People just randomly stand to the side of you (and some even have the nerve to walk right in front of you), which says more for their upbringing (or downbringing) than anything else. A proper queuing system is badly needed here, as it's mentally draining to go in there after 1pm because the most unsavoury characters are lingering around the store like semi-zombies and are completely oblivious to others. Apart from that, good job.
