I asked uSwitch what would happen if the reseller went bust during the duration of your contract - would you be left in the lurch?
Oliver explains: If you are billed by a reseller who then goes bust, whilst the mobile network would not be obliged to honour your contract, they would be likely to do so. However this is unlikely to be an issue - I have not heard of a mobile phone reseller ever going bust. And finally.. Oliver says: As an intermediary, it is unlikely to be the responsibility of uSwitch if something goes wrong.
Comparison sites behave more like an intermediary than the checkout — as such they will not hold any of your bank or transaction details. In this case, the comparison site may be able to help. How could a Sainsbury's bank credit card leave me red-faced at the supermarket till?

Galaxy Ace models offer broadly similar features to more costly Galaxy smartphones. But with smaller, lower-grade screens and cameras and less processing power, enabling Samsung to sell them for a more wallet-friendly price. Below, we take a look at some of the newest additions to the Galaxy range and give you a brief insight into what they offer.
The standout feature on the Samsung Galaxy S8 is the stunning edge-to-edge screen, which fills the front of the phone. The display definitely sets the S8 apart from all other smartphones on the market at the moment and is perfect for watching videos and playing games. The eight-megapixel front-facing camera has the same large aperture, making it perfect for taking selfies in the dark.
The S8 also comes with the Bixby voice-activated assistant, which is said to be more aware than Siri or Google Now. In select apps, you'll be able to do anything you'd normally do with touch commands completely hands-free. The Samsung Galaxy S8 Plus has all the same features of the regular S8 but with a better screen, bigger battery and more RAM to make it work even faster.
The Galaxy S7 and Galaxy S7 Edge are the first smartphones to feature a dual-pixel sensor, resulting in faster autofocus, improved brightness and better overall quality of your photos.
Made from the same deluxe materials as the Samsung Galaxy S6, the Galaxy S6 Edge differs from the standard version by including a screen that curves down both sides of the handset. The curved part of the screen doubles as a kind of secondary display that lets you see information even when the phone is on its side.
It also features a People Edge feature that assigns colours to five contacts of your choice.
