I just found a 32GB Samsung Galaxy S6 on EE for £24.99 a month on www.mobiles.co.uk
The handset is £25 but with code TENOFFVC you can get £10 off making it a more attractive £15 upfront.
I have tracked it through Topcashback so should hopefully get £20.20 from them. Quidco offer £20
The tariff is the faster 4G Extra with 1000 minutes, unlimited texts and 2GB of data.
The contract is 24 months.
I am working the total for the contract out as £614.76 with code (not including cash back). Obviously a little better with cash back.
There is a choice of 4 colours on offer. They are blue, gold, white and black.

2GB data is quite generous for the price. Even If you bought an LG G4 for £300 you will be looking at over £12 per month for 2gb of 4g data for two years which comes to around £600 anyway

I've never used this site before but their prices have grabbed my attention: http://www.valuebasket.com/search/search_by_ss?q=galaxy+s6
Apparently they're selling a 32gb S6 for: £333.99
Hopefully others can vouch for the trustworthiness of this site?
More than likely based in Hong Kong.

I can't find one with £25 handset cost. Any ideas?
I know who it's from, topcash back get the cash from mobiles uk affiliate network, it doesn't come out of topcash pocket

Ordered yesterday instead Galaxy S5 £21 M + free handset.
Galaxy S5:
Removable Battery, Micro SD capability!
1000 min 1GB Vodafone
So no need to pay for 2 years £96 + £25 handset = £121 extra for Galaxy S6

I'm on a sim only 3 deal, paid 270 for a nexus 5 a couple of years ago and get unlimited 4g for £13.90 a month.
vodafone gove me as as a customer a decent sim only deal for 12 months. Half price line rental for 12 months ul minutes, ul texts and 5gb data with tethering. £12.50 a month

It's 2015, 2GB data can be consumed by an hour long youtube video.
Providers outdo each other with ridiculous download speeds nobody ever needs on their mobile while keeping data allowance at a level that's good for checking your facebook from time to time.

I have the normal S6, I could have got the Edge, but the deal breaker was the screen distortion at the edges of the screen as they slope, and picking up the phone from a flat surface is seriously annoying, because of the lack of surface area at the edge of the screen. I was a no brainer to get the normal S6 for me. The 'bigger' batter in the edge is a miniscule 50mah over the normal S6, makes no difference. The Edge+ has a 3000Mah battery but of course a massive screen. The S6 and S6 Edge will both have a crap battery life.
So I'd say unless you're a fashion victim do not get the edge. The S6 Edge in Emerald green is really tasty though, but I don't believe you can get those anymore.

I was about to get this deal but common sense kicked in, as I've just received the Android 6.0 update for nexus 5, its like s whole new phone, battery life is better.
I'm on virgin mobile sim only 1250 mins, unlimited text and 500meg for £8 that will do me for now.

you cant port to the same network so in that sense what they are saying is true. you'll open a new line with the deal on ee and if you are on ee already you wont be able to switch the number across. stupid in my opinion as there are now only 3 proper networks in the sky

Guys and Gals,
Nice looking phone but honest question here. How do you all afford to buy these £0.5k+ phones? In my experience, all phone brands get buggy/faulty after about a year of constant use, some quicker than that. Then there's the occasional drop or slide of the car seat when you go round a corner and moisture gets into them through weather and inside pockets. Then factor in they drop the price on these high end phones constantly from their launch date, by 20% to 40%+ in the first 10 months. So the deal above seems cheap relative to the launch date RRP, but in fact it's a premium price no?
So factoring all this in, how do you all afford these top models? My phones tend to get broken within 12 month, and I'm not particularly reckless with my stuff. Do you get insurance and If yes can you please put in a link, as I have not seen and good phone insurance deals.
I would love this phone but I could not afford to replace a phone like this on a yearly basis. I find a sim only coupled with buying a phone outright is significantly better value than these kinds of deals.
jb66 to Beach_comber

I use a rubber bumper and screen protector, I also have insurance through my nationwide bank account, its £10 per month and covers 4 phones in my family, breakdown on my car and travel insurance
dunc360 to Beach_comber
15 Oct 151#39
Simple answer to most of your points is to use a protective case.
I have owned the Samsung galaxy, S3 and a HTC one M8 (from the smartphone generation) which all were the newest models on offer at the start of each contract I took out.
All of them I have resold after the 24 month contract ended without a single mark on the cases thanks to protective covers, even the rubber ones that just act as a jacket are better than nothing. I don't use screen protectors because I loathe them.
I am careful with my phones but have never once broken or dropped any of mine.
Sounds patronising but it's just being careful and taking precautions, if the weather's p**sing it down put it inside your jacket rather than in your trouser pocket, don't put it in a pocket with anything else, don't leave it beside sink, bath, children etc.
And yes sometimes the phones play up and slow down a little towards the end of a contract, probably due to the mass of content they accrue, but never faulty or buggy in my experience.

If you're at the end of your contract ask for your pac code and transfer to pay as you go on another network for a few days. Then transfer back to EE as a new customer.

Yes,Edge has bigger better battery,also much better looking device..and better colour options..overall much more attractive and its more on demand so better re-sale value.
and ofcourse some edge only functions like edge notifications,favourite lists on edge etc..
I will take the 6 Edge over standard 6 anyday just because of superior aesthetics and design and better battery life..
Charliejaymie
14 Oct 15#28
Is there any benefit to getting the Edge version over the normal S6? Die to upgrade and looking at my options.
Also, can you use a PAC code on the same network? EE are offering terrible deals (at least £10 per month more than the Uswitch options) for me to upgrade, but as a new customer they seem to be the cheapest. Rang them up and asked about it but the guy was very "no mate, can't do anything for you" after I've had two lines with them / Orange for 8+ years...

That is a healthy amount of data for a decent monthly price, especially with a FREE phone.
However, I was looking for as much as I could get for as little as possible and didn't fancy parting with the extra £7 a month for 24 months. That is a huge £168 extra over the contract length. As you have probably guessed, I am very tight.

14 Oct 15#25
I've been managing ok on 750mb for the last two years so 2gb will be more than enough for me. Thanks OP, been waiting for a deal at no more than £25 a month in total - if the cashback tracks this will take it just under :smiley:

14 Oct 15#24
good price as long as you don't use much data, but this day in age nearly everything on a phone uses data. 2GB wont get you far lol

I only found it when I refined the 'upfront cost' to '£1 - £50'
The particular tariff I am referring to has a set one off handset charge of £25 so I feel my listing is accurate.

I will keep you all posted to whether I get it or not.
