If their website is to be believed, and it’s too splashy to be a mere marketing ploy (no irony meant). Media Markt acts as retailer to handsets contracted to different carriers, and the implication is that for Media Markt to have finalized an iPhone retail deal, Apple will have finalized a deal with a carrier. That’s how it normally works, unless Media Markt has made a deal to all German contenders for the iPhone contract, in which case it’s not really any of our concern where Germans get their iPhone.

Warning about MediaMarkt scam.
E-Care ref 538008
I Purchased a 42 inch Toshiba TV from MediaMarkt in Belgium and it went wrong so under the guarantee I asked for the TV to repaired and contacted E-Care in Antwerp who then picked the TV up some two weeks later.
After several more weeks I contacted E-Care who said they could not get the parts to repair the TV and would send a credit note to MediaMarkt so that I could go and get myself a new TV and since the credit note was ‘In the post’ and I had been without a TV for two months I paid a deposit for a new TV.
Day after day I contacted MediaMarkt to ask if the credit note had arrived so that I could pick my new TV up only to be told the credit note had not arrived and that they were chasing it up.
Today some ten weeks later I am still without a TV and have been told that the parts to fix the TV have arrived and I will be getting my old TV returned some time later this week.
Clearly E-Care and MediaMarkt have been telling Lies and using me as pig in the middle and have failed to provide a reasonable service in taking far too long to fix and return my TV and using deceit as a delaying tactic.
Does anyone know the legal position on this ?
I would avoid both companies unless you like being scammed like me.
