If someone was selling mobile phone contracts online would you trust them? or if they emailed you with a contact number and they asked for your information on the phone if you were interested would you trust them more?

I would definitely not trust this kind of business. If I wanted a mobile phone contract then I would go to a legit telecom provider physically and then sign a contract there. I just don't see the word "online" and the word "business" fit together.

xtedaxcvg,
I was wondering if you realized what you said? "I just don't see the word "online" and the word "business" fit together." Any time one tries to make money it's a business. This site is a business, an online business. We are in the business of trying to make money by using this online business.
I would feel unsettled if I was asked to sign a contract online, but again with the internet we do that pretty much everyday. It's called a Terms of Service or TOS. We electronically agreed to a contract with this site. We do it when we sign-up for an e-mail service. Anything that provides a service we sign a contract with. If I had the option to sign a contract with someone in person and it was convenient to me then I would go for that option. It's just that in today's world we are doing more things electronically than we realize.
