When looking to get the latest phone on the best deal, one might go to Carphone Warehouse as they…read morecompare the prices of most of Britain's major mobile phone networks from O2 to Vodafone. Other networks, of course, include EE and Carphone Warehouse's own network, ID.
Most of the contract prices were competitive, but I don't really like using Carphone Warehouse as I often find there to be better deals perhaps if you go directly to the network, then you perhaps benefit more from the network's exclusive tariffs, however by putting things together in one store does make it easier.
This store is huge for a branch of Carphone Warehouse on the lower floor of Westfield London in White City, the store its-self is modern, and stands out and is probably one of the nicer branches of Carphone Warehouse I have visited, it also has numerous phones on display including a large Apple selection, if you're looking at picking up the latest iPhone this store is so much quieter than Apple's store elsewhere in the mall, meaning you don't have to fight as much to get your hands on the latest device.
The staff didn't seem too eager, which surprised me as I'd presume they'd want to come over and help customers and help sign them up on the latest tariffs, because that's what they work for. I did find there to be a lack of information on tariffs at the devices, as they seem to prefer a more personal, salesman approach here, but I don't see why they can't do both with a rough estimate of quotes perhaps even loaded onto the device, as I have seen this before such as at Three on Oxford Street, which is just a short bus ride away from here. I find it interesting one of the few providers to do this, actually don't have a partnership with Carphone Warehouse so you can't shop with Three here.
The store does stand out and is one of the nicer phone shops, and Carphone Warehouse stores I've visited, despite some flaws with the staff and presentation of prices, it is still a big, modern store which can be a fine example of all other Carphone Warehouse stores, many of which are crying out in need of help.
