Argos

About Argos

With stores in just about every major town and city in the UK, it’s fair to say Argos is a brand people recognise. But what cracking mobile phone deals can they offer? Well, if you’re looking for a pay as you go mobile phone, you’re going to find it hard to beat Argos. Take for example, the Sony Ericsson T250i. With a sleek aluminium body and an ultra-low price tag, it’s one of those mobile phones where you can’t quite believe it’s as cheap as it is, because it LOOKS and FEELS like a really expensive phone. Ah, superb value… That’s Argos’ speciality, you see!

Want more evidence of that? Then check out the ultra-sleek Samsung U700 Silver, one of the sleekest slidephones Samsung have ever made. However, just because it’s slim and shiny, you shouldn’t think it’s a brainless beauty, because it’s far from it! With a 3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth and HSDPA-internet-access giving you data speeds of up to 3.6Mbps. So, whether you’re surfing for bargains, or downloading ringtones, the U700 Silver lets you do it faster than ever before!

Of course, as one of the most recognisable retailers in the UK, Argos also have access to mobile phones you won’t see anywhere else, the best of which is the Fly SLT100. It might not be a familiar name in the mobile world, and it’s certainly nowhere near as well-known as someone like Nokia, but what it is is a fabulously cool mobile phone with 2 megapixel camera, built in music player and FM radio, and best of all, a full touchscreen interface. Which means that Argos have a full touchscreen mobile phone for under fifty pounds!

The history of Argos

They’re a site you can see in just about every town and city in the UK, and they’re one of the most recognised retailers in the UK. We’re talking about, of course, Argos, pioneers of a unique shopping experience unlike any other. Can there be anybody out there who hasn’t used Argos at some point in their lives? (We would hazard a guess that the answer’s not many, as two-thirds of the population has an Argos catalogue at home at any one time, and Argos serves about 130 MILLION customers every year!)

There’s nothing that quite approaches the joy of looking through the Argos catalogue (whether you have your own copy, or use the laminated copy in the store, something that comedian Bill Bailey calls the laminated book of dreams, for good reason!), filling out that little paper slip with that tiny little pen (you can even do the patented Argos stock-check, if you like), and then you get your stuff from the guardians of the storeroom, complete with tantalising glimpses into the mystical warehouse of treasures beyond.

Shopping at Argos isn’t just shopping, it’s like a little adventure!

The thing is, with Argos, you also get great value. Because their store chain isn’t built like traditional shops, they don’t have aisle after aisle of merchandise on display, which means they don’t need as much plush, keeping the overheads down, and meaning you get great value.

Oh, and the other unique thing about ordering a mobile phone through Argos… you have the option of picking it up, in store. How’s THAT for convenience!
