Two baked bean tins and a piece of string is better than a Samsung tbf

If the tins had an apple logo on thou they would be worth at least double ?

 

[davo172]

No

Is the 75 quid iPhone that much better than my £23 a month S9+?

No

According to techradar s9plus is the best phone you can buy right now.
No Apples in the top 3 even ?

Ease of use is definitely the iphone forte imo.

The P20 seems to be very very good. Getting more used to it and the battery is great. Also a 2 year warranty on the phone which is nice.

For some odd reason it was like an emotional good bye to the phone which is just weird.

Issue i have/had was choice, iphone sold, long live the P20....

 

[imprezaworks]

After a few days it was a good move. Highly recommended.

 

[masekwm]

Going to get the wife the P20, if I didn't have an Apple Watch I'd jump ship too

 

[Brigsy]

Weeks use of the note9 and can confirm its pretty awesome. Battery life is 2 days - you do not need to worry when its on 30% or less still have hours of use available.

 

[imprezaworks]

Yeah battery life is spot on

 

[davo172]

Yeah battery life is spot on

Not missing the overpriced fruit then !?? ??

 

[imprezaworks]

Never say never lol

 

[Steve]

Daughter looking for 8+ XS or XR anyone seen any good deals.
Best so far 8+ 30gb £43p/m

 

[R3k1355]

Does she really need 30 gig of data?

The XR can be had on Virgin Mobile for under £40 a month

 

[Steve]

Needs 10gb + hence the 30 seemed good idea.

 

[Steve]

In the end went for, XR 24m 30gb, £48 pm, stayed with EE.
Matched a deal I found

 

[imprezaworks]

Seems a decent deal. Did they match an online deal that was advertised on uSwitch or similar?

Uswitch

[imprezaworks]

Yeah that's how I managed the pro deal

 

[hopgop1]

Who's the best for deals on mobile plans these days? I've been with o2 since I first got a phone over 10 years ago now and the latest price gouge has made me think I'm probably getting ripped off for 20gb of data at £29 (and about to rise) not including the handset.
Have my iPhone on a device plan because it's 0% interest, but I can pay that off and swap.

Ideally someone that offers eSIM and will sell you a new phone at 0% interest (assume that's standard?) when upgrade time comes.

I’m with o2 on a sim only deal, 20gb of data for £8 a month. They’re having you on charging £29 for the same thing!

 

[Flat Eric]

Ye £29 for 20gb is very steep.

I've gone for 40gb with Vodafone for £14.
I'm sure there was other deals about but I didn't shop around that much if I'm honest.

 

[SC03OTT]

I’m on O2. 30gb data, unlimited everything else. £8.

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

My O2 is sim only but a 12 month contract (I'm well over that now so can cancel at any time) and it is £23 for 80gb not that I use it, but it wasn't any cheaper for less data.

I was looking to upgrade but all of the contracts I fancy are 36 months now and bloody extortionate. I can't justify £60+ per month for a new phone anymore.

 

[sburrell93]

Just taken a sim with Smarty for £8 a month & 24gb data. 30 day rolling too so can increase/decrease that whenever I wanted or jump to another deal whenever.

They use Three network which is great where I am but I have heard mixed reviews about them tbf.

I have been using Smarty for my kids for probably 4 years now. £9 a month each for 30GB data.

Never had a problem with them, but Three has fairly decent coverage in my area.

 

[VenomUK]

Currently on an old sim-only contract because it still has roaming included, comes with 160GB for £22.85 with EE

 

[hopgop1]

Bloody hell I am being had then, will have a shop around, although I bet I’m on some sort of contract that I’ve signed my life away on, will have to see how hard it is to get out of.

O2 used to be pretty good with deals. Like you, ive been with them forever. Recently though, they had begun to take the piss. I was on some ridiculous data plan (200gb?!) and unlimited everything else - was £20/month iirc. It then just kept going up, 25, then 30. Recently the wife pointed out it had gone up to 35 and I just felt like I was being spanked.

Looked on their app, £18/month unlimited everything and 75gb of data.

I swear they just increase it and increase it hoping people cant be bothered/notice.

Every year, when my 12 months is up I go into a comparison site and pretty much pick the same tariff on O2 but for less £££. Rinse and repeat.

 

[Gus]

Im on a virginmedia sim only £14/m for 20g data. Looking on their website they have better deals for new customers, Is it possible for me to buy one of those deals and then port my number on to it even if its VM transferring to VM?

There shouldn’t be any issues with doing that.

 

[imprezaworks]

With EE at £15. 25gb iirc.

 

[DrR]

My o2 with 50gb for £12 and roaming looks a bargain compared to some of you guys.

 

[imprezaworks]

Who do they use for signal?

Wouldn't take this as gospel but I was told I couldn't change from Vodafone to Vodafone and take my number with me without doing a direct upgrade with Vodafone. So left and went to three to allow me to keep my number with unlimited everything for £20 a month and a pixel 6a phone

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Three.
Which are shite by me.

 

[OEM Battery Nonce]

I have all four of us with Smarty for about a year now, all on a family group too so I get a further 10% of published prices.

They're such a bargain, Euro roaming and 5G included, love it.
