Christmas Bonus for UK Online Mobile Phone Retailers

Internet Shopping portal Gruntled.co.uk sees sales through major online mobile phone
retailers up by 15% on same period last year.

London, UK - 6th December 2005

With less than three weeks to go until Christmas, online shopping portal
Gruntled.co.uk is already seeing a 10% increase in mobile phone sales on the same
period last year.

\"The online rush started at the beginning of November,\" says Gruntled.co.uk\'s Ben
Padstow, \"a week earlier than last year, and already we\'ve seen mobile phone sales
through our partner sites up more than 10% on that period last year. Since December
is normally even busier, and with mobile phone retailers offering delivery up to
23rd December, this year is going to be the biggest ever for online retailers.\"

With rumours of a huge high-street slowdown and bricks-and-mortar retailers starting
January sales in December, it\'s clear that the advantages of shopping online - keen
prices, convenience and fast comparison across brands - as well as the unusually
cold weather in the past few weeks is driving the online sales of mobile phones.

Mobile Phones are traditionally a big seller at Christmas. Whereas 12-month contract
phones sell well for the rest of the year, it is Pay As You Go mobile phones which
sell more at this time of the year, where the phone is purchased outright, with no
requirement to commit to a contract.

Gruntled.co.uk\'s site at http://www.Gruntled.co.uk is a shopping portal launched in
2001 which puts shoppers in touch with the best value online retailers in various
sectors, including mobile phones, holidays and loans.
