Anyone ever tried buying a smartphone from this business? They claim to be based in PE and supposedly sell smartphones at wholesale prices. You get to deal with a "sales rep" by the name Edwin... I'm not sure of their legitimacy as they have no website, use gmail for email and only appear to be posting ads on sites like Gumtree, Olx and Locanto... Anybody recommends or can warn me about this? Would be much appreciated

For smartphones I use Smartlab (www.smartlab.co.za), reliable with also a brick and mortar business based in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban.

I would recommend www.excellular.co.za. Larger stock range and judging by the pricing of the Samsung Galaxy SII (R5,995 on Smartlab), lower prices too (R3,999 on Excellular, you can get the Note for R5,599).

I used Excellular to buy a BlackBerry Playbook and it was recommended by a friend who made two purchases, prior to that, himself. All three transactions worked out great.
 
Thank You!

THIS IS A HOAX. The company does not exist and its registration number is false. My dad placed an order with them during May 2012 and has had endless problems in getting a refund or even delivery of the goods. The initial order was for 1 x apple i-pad which he paid for. Next he received an email saying that he better pay an additional R5,000.00 as his package contained 3 i-pads. I have made so many phone calls to them to try and recover the money paid out. Everyone passes the buck to everyone else. DO NOT FALL PREY TO THIS.
