Absolutely delighted with purchase. Item actually in superb condition. About to return for next purchase...a tablet for my funky 88 year-old Mum. Thanks. Emma.

I bought this phone to use abroad with a local SIM. Little did I know that you can't use 3G phones anymore, it has to be 4G or 5G capable. Total waste of money. They really shouldn't be selling them.

I ordered a Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016) 8 GB (see proof of purchase). I received a Samsung Galaxy J1 4 GB even though the delivery note says Samsung Galaxy J1 (2016) 8 GB. And when the invoice is issued, it's a Samsung Galaxy J1 4 GB that magically appears on it! Moral: I had to send the phone back. What a waste of time for a situation that's not at all clear!

For the moment no worries, I had the same one taken from the same place but it didn't work for a year and a half.
