Phone City to close

Sadique said the constant uphill battlevagainst the networks has finally got the better of him. One customer told me how T-Mobile contacted him, saying that if he upgraded the N95 in my store it would cost him £40, whilst if he went through them direct the deal would be free, he said.

The direct deals theyre offering my customers are leaving me without a leg to stand on. Its hard to see a future in this business.

Sadique, a regular at Hugh Symons dealer forums, has been in the industry for eight years. He is moving into property.
