"REPORT THIS COMPANY TO THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU IF YOU HAVE BEEN SCAMMED! (it only costs 5 dollars) THEY ARE SCAMMERS! DO NOT BUY FROM THEM IF YOUR LOOKING TO! Here is my story:

I had been looking at phones from myworldphone.com for some time. They had good prices and the phone I wanted (Nokia 6101). I made a paypal account like they recommended and ordered my phone, a sim card, and a sim backup. Once the order was recieved I was supposed to recieve my phone within 2 business days.

Of course I did not recieve my phone within the 2 business days. On the third day I emailed customer service only to find that the email address was not valid. So I called customer service to check the status of my order.

The first time I called, the representative claimed she couldn't hear me. She sounded very young and unprofessional. I called back to a different number. The man I spoke to told me that because I ordered my phone over the internet through paypal that it would take an extra 2 day for me to recieve my phone. This was not as they stated on their website. This was the 3rd red flag so I decided to investigate and came across this website. I was horrified at what I saw, terribly worried that the same thing was happening to me.

I recieved my phone 2 days later. I recieved everything that I was supposed to. The charger had an adapter. It was obviously not intended for outlets in the US and the charger didn't work even with the adapter. I got my phone activated. I was able to start setting my phone up and sent and recieved 1 text message before the phone started going bad. It started locking up for no reason and then would not recognize my sim card. All the normal fixes did not work. At this time I had to leave on a trip that I had purchased my phone for and was not able to send the phone back for exchange/refund within the 5-day period.

When I got back I took my phone to a Nokia dealer and they confirmed that it was the phone and not the sim card. After several calls to Nokia, I found out that the phone was still under warranty. I thought I was saved and sent the phone in for repairs.

After a month of getting the run-around with Nokia (they misplaced my phone, no callbacks, no feedback whatsoever beside that they had my phone per my tracking number) they said my phone had liquid damage and that is not covered under the warranty. Now I'm out of 200+ bucks and alot of frustration. All I have got now is a phone that doesn't work with no more available options to get a working phone.

What I did do is spend 5 dollars to report myworldphone.com to the Better Business Bureau. If you are in (or have been) in the same situation with this company I suggest you spend the 5 dollars and REPORT THEM. THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM, AND SHOULD NOT BE IN BUSINESS. Document everything you can about your dealings with this company and report them. They have been reported, but more reports will only help. Be active, post here and report them. Companies like this should not exist. Do your part. Help shut them down. I personally am hoping they get sued and shut down for their bad business practices. I've never dealt with a company so consistently corrupt and hope I never have to again."

"Took a while to deliver but I finally got it. Had to do an exchange because the initial product they sent me was defective. Both phones that they sent me were used with scratches on them. Boxes have been opened before and were missing parts. Altogether, I spent $80 on shipping to and from me and got a working phone three weeks after the initial order. Customer service is very bad. They will actually hang up on you and threaten to not go through with the exchange if you open a paypal dispute. Overall, I would avoid this store. I will never buy from them again."

"Myworldphone.com is a complete scammer. never ever buy from them. They are CROOKS. Let me tell you my story. myworldphone.com is selling motorola razr v3 in different colors like green, red, and orange. Motorola never officially released these color for razr v3. Until a couple of days back, I didn't know this fact and bought twenty razr v3 in different colors. I buy in bulk and sell in Jamaica and south america. Not knowing these phones second-hand phone and that they have been re-housed, I had seven defective phones. I called them at least 100 times and everytime I call someone tells me to call back again. After getting so many run-around, I physically went to their home-based business. This was my worst decision ever to go back to these people. They pushed me out of office, called me ‘nigger’ and told me go back to Africa. I was never embarrassed in such a way. Don’t worry…I told all my Jamaican friends not go to them. And I’m telling you guys, if you read the reviews about these guys they are biggest scammers. Never ever buy from myworldphone.com. they sell refurbished phones that’s why their price is so cheap."

"They're not that bad after all. I do recommend them to my friends at time to time because they usually do have the newest phones available, and sometimes phones that aren't being offered with AT&T or T-Mobile or phones that haven't even hit the market yet. Yeah we're in OK standings, I do visit them at time to time and purchase accessories and things like that."

-phone
-battery
-charger
-64mb card
-cd-rom software
-oem headset

i did receive the product in 2 days as promised, but i only received the phone and the charger. i did NOT receive the cd-rom, memory card, or the headset. i did not even get the fucking battery so i do not even know if the phone fucking works. jesus christ i am fucking pissed right now. i called them immediately only to be told to call back later. after reading the other reviews i am not sure if they will do anything about this. i cannot beleive they can continue to do business like this, i will make sure no one i will buys from myworldphone.com again."

"I've used Myworldphone.com twice so far, and have't had any issues. The reason why I probably haven't had some of the same issues as other consumers here may be because I only pick up from their physical location, I have never used them for mail order. Myworldphone is located in Queens, NY, so it is just a long subway ride for me. I first bought a Motorola SLVR L7 on May, 22nd 06. I usually check the merchandise in front of their faces, and pop in my sim card to make sure it works. At the time $199 for the L7 was an amazing price. I then purchased a pink Motorola RAZR as a gift in November '06 for around $160. I do question whether or not I got the official pink version, as the color was still a little more "reddish" than I would have liked. But they showed me a "Fuscia" model that was clearly darker so I assumed the pink model I got was indeed the correct one. Again, everything was pretty straight forward. I believe the operation is legit, I've seen mounds of product boxes and a lot of activity at their location. I would have no problems believing they probably do a huge amount of wholesale volume. One thing that is a little annoying about them for pick up is they only accept cash, but they refuse to give a break on the tax. I understand I can't expect this, but it's pretty commonplace in NYC for cash purchases at smaller businesses (especially cel phone stores. I highly doubt they actually give that collected sales tax in "cash" to the gov't. I've heard plenty of horror stories about these guys when ordered through the web, but for pick up so far, everything has been straight. From what I've personally seen they seem to have the business to move product in pretty high volume. I would most likely use them exclusively for my unbranded phone purchases, their prices usually can't be beat. As a heads up, their phones are unbranded GSM units, usually from Europe or Africa and have 220volt plugs."

"I purchased a Light Pink V3 RAZR from "My World Phone". I received the phone fairly quickly, the box was in worn condition, the ear phone was not working at all and the colors were mismatched on the phone itself. It was half "hot pink" and half "bubble gum pink". I tried contacting them about having the phone replaced, but for 3 days in a row i was told to call back at a later time and they hung up on me. When i was able to speak to someone who could assist me they said that since i was on day 5 of receiving the phone they would not accept a return because it wouldn't get to them by day seven. I tried to explain that i've been in contact with them as soon as i found out but they were giving me the run around. This is where the "customer support" person got very hostile with me and hung up. I am very dissatisfied with the customer service that "My World Phone" provided.

I was able to contact Motorola concerning the issue and was given the option of returning the phone or having it serviced locally. I decided on the latter and took it to an authorized repair shop. They said they were unable to repair the phone because it had been serviced before and had non-motorola parts in it.

I had it sent to Motorola for repairs. I'm not sure if they were able to repair but they sent me a different one that did work. They also told me that the phone's serial number belonged to a Black RAZR and not a light pink like "My World Phone" stated.

I would never recommend them to anyone. You're taking a big gamble with them if you use them. If the phone works you'll be fine, however if there are any problems with your order they won't care as they will already have your money."
