Dear Jennifer,
Unfortunately we cannot supply you with the products that you require. The Mobile Phone Directory is not a store, and we do not sell any products ourselves. Our website was established to provide information and assistance to individuals and companies who want to learn more about mobile phone products.
However, I suggest that you can click onto one of the advertising banners on our website, and this will take you to our approved suppliers of the products that you wish to buy. We will soon be making improvements to our website to show the best prices for each phone.
If I can be of more help then please contact us again. I hope that you are able to find what you are looking for from one of the suppliers we advertise.

Hello Mr Mike S
Please can you do me a favour? Will you please help me buy all the phones, and I will give you my CREDIT CARD so that you will collect money to buy the market, and I am going to cheer you because this is a business. Please can you do the favour for me and you will not regret that you help me, because my customer is asking for the market urgently, so please help me out. Contact me back as soon as possible. Thanks Mr Mike S.

Dear Jennifer,
Thank you for your reply to my email. I would like to help you in any way I can, but unfortunately we cannot purchase mobile products on your behalf. The Mobile Phone Directory has no facilities for handling this type of purchase.
I think the best solution (which will ensure that your order is processed as quickly as possible) is for you to purchase these phones directly from one the excellent retail companies that we have here in the UK. You can use your credit card with these companies and they will be able to organise a discount for your bulk purchase, which will save you money on the deal.
There are many retail outlets that can supply you with the products, but I know those I list below should give you good service:
www.phones2udirect.co.uk
www.phones4u.co.uk
www.mobileshop.co.uk
www.mobiledealer.co.uk
www.carphonewarehouse.com
www.mobiles.co.uk
I am sure that if you make contact with these companies and discuss your requirements (I expect you are looking for a SIM free product?), then they will be able to meet your order. The other important matter you need to check are the warranty conditions, so that you can get replacements or service if there is a problem with any of the phones.
I hope you can make a successful order from one of the companies I have listed above, but if you have any difficulties then get back to me and I will try to help you further.

Dear Jennifer,
We do not deal with any computer products whatsoever, and we cannot purchase any products for you. I am sorry that I cannot help you. I have already suggested that you contact one of the retailers I gave you, and I believe that is your best way of obtaining the products you require.
We can only deal with information and technical enquiries. We do not sell anything and we cannot buy products for customers. I can say no more than this.

Dear Jennifer,
We do not know about Toshiba laptop computers here (this is not our type of business). I looked for you and I see that you can use your credit card with a big company called PC World. PC World will be happy to accept your credit card. Please go to the link below, and you can buy a Toshiba Pentium 4 laptop there: http://www.pcworld.co.uk/martprd/store/pcw_page.jsp?BV_SessionID=@@@@1512923104.1108171971@@@@&BV_EngineID=ccddadddkleifekcflgceggdhhmdfhm.0&chain=PC_World&channel=WEB&browserName=ie&browserVersion=6&platform=pc&firstrun=yes&page=Category×tamp=null&use_category=true&category_name=/DSG/01.%20Computers/Laptops&deeplink=true&page=Category&chain=PC_World&channel=WEB&browserName=ie&browserVersion=6&platform=pc&use_category=true&deeplink=true×tamp01:32:50&category_name=/DSG/01.%20Computers/Laptops&camp_id=google2_toshiba_laptop
I am sorry but we cannot help you any more. We do not take orders or act as agents, this is not our business.
