Security Policy
In a Washington Post article by Rob Pegoraro, David
Medine of the Federal Trade Commission suggested that it is much safer
to transmit your credit card number over the Internet than to give it
to a waiter at a restaurant or read it aloud over a cordless phone -
two activities that are generally taken for granted as safe.
In fact, a spokesperson at AT&T's Universal Card division stated that
his company to date had not encountered any cases of credit card numbers
being stolen during transmission over the Internet.
The security of 2U.co.uk is incredibly tight. In fact, it is
state of the art and at the maximum possible levels with today's technology.
As you consider the security of 2U below, remember 2 things
- The parent company
of 2U, Mobile Phone World Ltd, has been trading for over 10 years.
This is only due to sound business practices, of which tight security
is one.
- In the event
of a fraudulent transaction, it is the retailer (i.e. 2U) who
loses out , not you, the customer. The reason for this is because
the cardholder will invariably be given back their money once the
transaction is reported as fraudulent. This means the money is taken
back from the retailer, even if this is after they have sent
the product to the fraudster. This would obviously cost the retailer.
To avoid this, 2U.co.uk
has the following security measures in place.
-
SSL
- Secure Socket Layer server. This means that your details
are fully encrypted to protect them.
-
Verisign
security certificate. Verisign is a huge, internationally
recognised security kite mark, to show that the security of 2U
is the best it can be.
- RSA security
certificate. RSA is again an internationally recognised security
kite mark. 2U has security certificates from both Verisign AND RSA,
to absolutely show that your details are secure and that we take
your security VERY seriously.
-
Integrated
password protected database. All personal information we hold
on you is stored in secure password protected databases, that only
high-level staff members have access to (we do not hold card details).
These passwords are changed regularly.
-
Barclaycard
ePDQ. 2U's parent company uses Barclays Bank's electronic payment
system, and has for the past 7 years. 2U now uses Barclays Bank's
ePDQ intenet payment system, because it offers maximum security
both for 2U and for you the customer. Barclaycard ePDQ uses its
own SSL, which means 2U never holds your payment card details. This
is only held by Barclays, who have a high reputation for security.
The ePDQ system has great security because of the credit checking
it offers. It checks the card for 3 'green-lights', and only then
is your card debited. The 3 'green-lights' are
- The card
is authorised to take payment (ie. not reported lost
or stolen, there is money on the account)
- The CVV2
number on the reverse of the card is correct
- The cardholders
address is correct as given.
If your card is
being used fraudulently, and these 'green-lights are not triggered,
the transaction will fail, which protects you from someone else
using your card fraudulently. The address checking particularly
offers you great security against anyone using your card fraudulently
- they would not know your address. PLUS, 2U will only deliver to
the registered cardholders address, so you would still recieve the
goods! In the incredibly unlikely event of this happening, you would
simply return the goods for a full refund.

Which?
WebTrader security and customer care policy. Which? is the national
Consumers Association watchdog. Their Which? WebTrader kitemark

2U's
parent company, Mobile Phone World Ltd is a member of the mobile
phone industry group, IDG, The Independent Dealers Group,
which is a part of the FCS, The Federation of Communication Services
As
you can see, 2U is covered by a formidable security system and security
policy. You can purchase in peace, safe in the knowledge that your
personal and financial details are safe and secure.

"An
internet search will invariably throw up 2u.co.uk, which covers mobile
phones, including those with cameras, for £5.88 a month - cheaper
than some mobile companies. The policy covers all the bases: theft,
loss, water damage, rogue calls and accidental damage."

Unsolicited Testimonials
"I would just like
to say that I [was] amazed at the difference in price for the same insurance
between yourselves and Carphone Warehouse.
For exactly the same cover,
I was paying double the yearly cover with Carphone Warehouse.
It's the last time I'll
be taking an insurance out with the stores I purchase the goods from."
