Sorry, but it took awhile to look though the 100 listings that whitepages had at , 1170 Broadway New York, NY 10001, but this is the closest I could find;

Cell Tech Corporation
1170 Broadway, Frnt 11
New York, NY 10001-7507
(212) 684-7863

Opps, sorry hit quote instead of edit.
Oh, and this makes what, six phone numbers now. They sure are following the pattern of most the NY area camera shops. That's just an observation on my part.

Very professional looking web site, however, why order anything from NY ?? Any consumer crime will be placed in the back of the line.

Looks good, but uses osCommerce code. That is not very secure code and I don't consider it professional. osCommerce is like the DOS of shopping carts.

EDIT: It looks like osCommerce code that someone has stripped all references to osCommerce out of the HTML so they can claim it as their very own. It uses the same query strings and the sign-up page is identical to osCommerce.

This is beyond the best company I have ever done business with. I come from a Customer Service background from a company with the highest Customer Satisication rating in the Wireless Industry, but even that company doesn't compare to ExoticPhone.com. When it comes to customer satisifaction, they go out of their way to provide customer satisifaction. Let me explain why.

I have bought Samsung D900 from ExoticPhone.com when it first came out. I was very excited about this phone before it came out in the market. This phone is so lovely because of the features that it carry. I liked it so much I even got one for my boyfriend. After about three weeks, I had dropped the phone and the screen was not cracked but went blink. I was devasted and didn't know what to do since ExoticPhone.com doesn't cover physical damage. I called up a repair center in Chicago and they have quoted me $210. Without thinking, I just walked over to ExoticPhone.com's Manhattan location since they're like two blocks from my 5th avenue apartment. I went there and spoke to someone name Jahid. After listening to me, he took the phone from me and asked me to come in two days. I showed up the day after. Jahid, such a gentleman as he's, gave me a sealed brand new samsung d900 and didn't charge me a single penny. I would never forget what ExoticPhone.com did for me...Thanks.

This day and age, Customer Service is key. But in every environment I have worked in the bottom line always effects the ability to provide great customer service, and that bottom line is squeezing every penny out of every opportunity, sacrificing customer satisfaction... This is the reason I am no longer with the "leader in wireless customer satisfaction".... ExoticPhone.com has gone out of it's way... AFTER requesting less then what they have provided. This is FAR beyond my expectations as a customer, and far beyond my experience with any Customer related field. They are reliable, they are quick, their pricing is by far the most competitive in the industry. Thank god for a company like ExoticPhone.com, I am a life long customer.

I'm not sure if the company is a scam....But for me the sale went sour and all I want is my money back in paypal. They keep telling me that no transactions have occured....Yet $310.00 has been sent to GSM International, INC. and I have yet to see it returned. I'm wondering if I called the FTC would they do anything about it.

mfdell,

If you paid via credit card, call your credit card company to initiate a chargeback else start a claim with PayPal.

[mfdell]

I started a claim with paypal. But it may tunrto legal action here shortly.

Update.

The BBB report now lists the company's address as;

EXOTICPHONE.COM
1170 Broadway, Suite 1100
New York, NY 10001

-and-

Based on BBB files, this business has an unsatisfactory record with the Bureau, because there is a pattern of complaints, and the business has not corrected the underlying reason for the complaints.

Well I was close. See post #11 above.

Well, the my3cents link pretty much is the same story as posts here at RR. I'm guessing the youtube video was supposed to show that he didn't get a full phone?
