The last time I went to the Potteries Shopping Centre it took me a while to find the O2 shop as it…read morehad changed units - It's now located near the main entrance. The shop itself is very spacious and the staff are polite and helpful. I recently upgraded to an iPhone and spent over an hour in Carphone warehouse before being told that because I was an existing customer I couldn't do the upgrade there. I then went to the O2 store and had my new phone within 15 minutes so I will definately be returning when my existing contract runs out.

The staff in the O2 store in Hanley are helpful and polite…read more As with most phone stores in Hanley it gets pretty packed at the weekend, so you may have to wait if you need to talk to some one on a Saturday. Upgraded my phone in store last week and the staff were well versed on their product knowledge and helped me find a great deal.

I was looking for a sim free expensive mobile ( wont mention any brands, but its brand new and expensive haha ) she told me that they dont do sim free mobile sales in there, just contract deals, which is fair enough. she was still very helpful in telling me all the deals they had if I did decide to go for a t mobile contract for the mobile. Gave me her name, wrote the store number down and said to ring if I needed any more help. The other staff member was a friendly man, but though it sounds silly, he had his jeans under his buttocks, like rappers have their pants down a bit so you can see the name on their jockey shorts? But his jeans were actually under his bum cheeks so all his jockeys showed, I thought it was a joke at first to see if people reacted, it was like candid camera.. I expected the ghost of beadle to jump out and say 'gotcha' ;-) Still I wasnt offended and I was happy with the help I got :-) I'm going to give this shop 3 stars because of the lack of sim only mobiles to be bought in store and because it feels quite blank and bare in the store.. you dont feel like you can just stroll around looking which I find in most mobile stores though.

The 3 store in Stockport is located next to Monsoon in the Merseway shopping centre. I find this…read moreshop a bit un-nerving, as as soon as you go in the staff approach you and give you the hard sell. They are quite pushy, even if you just want to browse the phones and plans they have on offer. Yet if you go in specifically to see an advisor you have to wait as they are either having a conversation with each other, or they make themselves look busy even though the shop is empty. I wouldn't recommend going here even if you intend to go with the 3 network. Carphone warehouse is much better, or even their online store.

I recently bought a phone from this shop and got a really good offer. I got a brand new phone with…read more300 minutes and texts for 15 pounds a month. The store sells a wide range of phones and has price plans to suit every budget. They were certainly the cheapest when I was looking. The only slight problem is that the 3 network reception is not as strong as some of the others and so my phone can sometimes lose reception when other peoples don't. Other than this though I got a great bargain and a really nice new Nokia phone. The store also stocks accessories for phones and they sometimes do offers where if you introduce a friend you get money off your bill. This is worth asking about.

This little phone shop is situated in a kiosk in the middle of Merseyway opposite the Orange shop…read more I went in to get my phone unlocked. They were very friendly and efficient and the price was the cheapest around, just £8. It took about 10 minutes and I had a browse round the shop while I waited. They have all sorts of accessories including hands free kits, phone cases etc. They also stock new and second hand phones and although the shop is tiny seemed to have lots of stock. Anyway when my phone had been unlocked the man popped a simcard in to show me it was working fine and off I went. If I need anything like that again, I'd certainly use Zone 52 again.

The store was clean and did have some advertising for some of the latest devices from Samsung and Apple. The staff seemed friendly enough, and were helpful, even when visiting close to closing time, I do find the stock in store to be poor again, so perhaps you might be best using O2's website if you have a specific device or colour in mind. Do remember the store closes very early on a Sunday and Bank Holidays at 4 pm, I find this to be far too early in the day for a store to be closing, which makes the location a lot less useful, unfortunately.

But…read morethere was a whole kerfuffle with shop owner telling the police where they had run off to and that kind of thing. Not at all what I would expect from Wilmslow. I've always liked O2 as a phone company. The service is reliable and most recently I had a sim-only deal which was hella wicked. Cheap, easy and the fact that with this deal you are able to cancel at any time makes it almost perfect. Excellent stuff.
