    They a realiable yes. Bought a few phones of them back in 2003-4 when they had some Asian brands as well, and some special Asian Nokia models etc.. Now they only have European phones. They are based in Singapore.

    yep i used to buy from them, but you will get done for tax.Dont bother i think ebay is better and cheaper .
    You will defo get caught by customs.I know from experience and they work out expensive :(

    What phone are you looking for

    Why not get a bill phone from vodafone, it might even work out cheaper or check adverts.ie

    You might be buying in dollars but that doesnt mean much if the phone is expensive in the first place :rolleyes:

    Its $575.90 on mobileplanet thats 424 euro
    its 430 euro on ebay in postage from uk,i think uk is better as from usa you can get taxed.

    sure, but expansys.ie had the Nokia E61i for 530 EUR approx, and mobile planet, which seems like the same company as expansys, at their international site, costs 585 USD incl shipping = 430 EUR.

    But maybe there are VAT issues...??

    Yeah there might be. I would prefer to buy from ireland or uk.I wouldnt buy a phone from America.

    With the hong kong company its fine.just tell him to reduce the value and he will.he did it with me and seriously im happy .i have bought many phones in the past and this was the best as it was hassle free.I paid and in 2-3 days was at my door.
