This is a small branch of Phones 4 U located on Dalton Road in Barrow, which is the main shopping…read morestreet in the town. Its located right next door to the Carphone Warehouse, and in my opinion I don't know how it stays open. As the shop itself is so small there is a limited amount of stock on display. They have a small selection of Pay As You Go, and a just as small selection of contract phones. I found the staff to be extremely unhelpful, I recently went in because I had broken my main phone and wanted a cheapie just to tide me over for a week or two. I found an Orange PAYG phone for £9.95, which was good enough for a temporary measure. Taking it to the counter they told be I had to buy £10 of airtime if paying cash or £20 of airtime if paying by credit card. I told them I only wanted the phone as I already has an orange SIM. I was then told (in an extremely snotty manner) that no shops sold phones on their own, EVERYWHERE (and she did emphasis the everywhere very loudly) would make you buy airtime. So I left it, walked 20 paces across the street and picked up a very similar phone in Woolworths for £8.95 with no need to purchase airtime. So I suppose I should say thanks to her for saving me a pound, but had I not been a canny shopper she would have cost me a minimum of £10. So I would certainly not recommend Phones 4 U to anyone.

The staff are seem to be helpful. I had to put my phone in to repair and they take you to a desk and discuss what is up with your phone!

I came in origonally just looking for a phone for my son and then i got chatting with a member of staff and he told me about mobile internet and how i could get a free laptop if i signed up for a 3 contracct! I thought this was brilliant! The man went through everything with me. He explained how everything worked and now i have one less Christmas present to worry about! This shop is full of all the latest mobile handsets and there is a phone here for everybody's price range. I'm so glad got my internet contract form here because i know that if i have any problems they will help me sort them out wothout complaining!

This one time i bought a phone and couldn't get my picture messages to work. I took it into the store and the staff were having problems as well with the settings on it so they actually rung the o2 call centre for me in store and stayed on the phone for an hour whilst they sorted out the issue on my phone! I thought this was really good of them they really did go the extra mile for me! Also they always have free mints on the counter which i like to nibble on! :) They do really good phone accesories as well like little tiny dangly lip glosses! Great store! I wouldn't change my network for anything!

I popped in here just to waste time and went out with an iphone. Not sure how that happened but I…read morehave to say I was very pleased I did. The lads that work in there although they look a bit young and wet behind the ears, they are actually very knowledgable. Just goes to show appearences can be deceiving. I had never had a contract before or been with o2, but I am glad I am. The whole process from start to finish was so easy and they were really helpful everytime I went back as I didn't know how to work my phone. I spent nearly an hour in the store being given a lesson on how to work the iphone and they really helpful. This surprised me as I thought they would not care as they had already sold the phone so they could of not bothered, glad they did though or I would still be looking for the off button(there isn't one).

What do you think this shop sells then? That's right, All Things Mobile sells a range of fairly…read morecheap mobile phones as well as all their respective accessories. The shop itself is a bit on the small side but stocks quite a lot in there and compared to its local rival Rupert's, the shop is practically enormous. I recently paid a visit here to enquire about the cost of a new screen for a phone I had bought of eBay a week or so before as it had a couple of small scratches on it. The staff there that I spoke to quoted me a price but after looking at it recommended that unless it was a massive problem at the moment that I should leave it until it gets worse as it was quite expensive; nice to see they weren't trying to recommend something just to get my money. The selection of phones there did look pretty decent, and they do also offer their services for various phone repairs and phone unlocking, meaning All Things Mobile is definitely becoming a worthy competitor to Rupert's in the mobile phone stakes.

My shop for Mobiles, been with orange for years. Newish…read moresmart shop. Fair amount of mobiles to choose from. And PAYG mobiles too. I have always gone down the PAYG route am happy with that. But that can cut your choice of phone down a bit. Ok down to the Nitty Gritty. Although Orange is my choice I think the quality of service given in the shop is pretty poor. You would expect staff to have a fair amount of knowledge on the workings of the Mobiles , but not been my experience. It's usually a trip back home and a search of the web where I find Mobile phone wizards. I love my mobiles with the Android operating system, it's my choice and I stick with it. But everytime I go in for a new mobile and ask about a model with Android,. I always get the same sales spiel ( patter ) Ohhh Android that will drain your phone, that will take a lot of your internet Quota. That will kick in when you leave home and you can't turn it off. No it dosent drain and no it dosent take alot of your Quota and yes you can turn it off. Arhhhhhh stop giving me all the Rubbish just sell me the mobile I want. So Lads for your Spiel it drops to 3 Stars

The O2 shop in Barrow is quite small but they has a decent selection of both pay as you go or…read morecontract phones. They also sell or replace sim cards and do card top ups. There is also a selection of mobile phone accessories such as in car kits, Bluetooth headsets, mobile phone jewellery. The staff are helpful and will explain the differences between different handset in a way that anyone could understand, they are not pushy and will allow you time to make up your own mind. Because the shop is so small it can sometimes get a little crowded and occasionally there may be a bit of a wait because I've never seen more than two staff on the shop floor at any one time.
