I went to purchase my son a replacement phone for Christmas at Virgin Mobile as that is who is his current provider. They informed me that I had 14 days from date of purchase if I needed to return or exchange the phone. I indicated that I would not be activating it until after Christmas and they said they could not extent the return or exchange date for the Christmas gift. I also contacted there head office to speak to a supervisor and they would not even let me speak to them and they confirmed what the guy at the Virgin kiosk said and that was all they would do for a new purchase. So if my son did not like my choice he would not be able to exchange or return it as I was going to purchase on the 26 of November making the 14 days two weeks prior to Christmas so I will not be purchasing this as the warranty is like the taillights on your car once there gone so is the warranty. Before you spend your hard earned money on a cell phone check out cellphones.ca 450 complaints aga

Have a Merry Christmas, Anita

So why not just wait until the 20th of December to purchase the phone? What is the problem?

Who out there starts a warranty when you want them to and not at the time of purchase?
Alexis says...
A company shouldn’t be put down because they don’t let you take an item home today and the warranty start a month later.
Cut out a picture of a cellphone and wrap it in a cleaver way, give your son that and then let him go pick out his own phone.
