If you have an old phone to recycle, use this link to order this deal which gives you an extra £50 when recycling your old handset.
I've already had my phone dispatched and received my £50 code, will give me £150 for my old iPhone 5 which is better than eBay and seems less faff!

The Three SIM unlock trick does NOT work. Do NOT insert a Three SIM in first expecting it to unlock the phone.

Thanks to wildturkey for this extra data info..............
Just got info from O2 online chat to confirm that you can upgrade the data to change your monthly tarrif to
5gb - £34
10gb -£39
20gb -£49
Once upgraded, you can downgrade back down to your base tariff of 3gb whenever you like if you change your mind.
Great deal
****EDIT*****
Update: This deal has been extended and will run up until the end of the Black Friday weekend. However, we understand there's a chance it may be pulled depending on stock (Gold is temporarily out of stock), due to the sheer popularity of it.

Don't forget to buy a case with a cut-out section for the Apple logo so everyone can see just how cool and wealthy you are.
Gives me £50 extra when I recycle my old phone, so that's £150 back for my old iPhone 5. Not too bad I thought.

This is a fab deal, does anyone know if I order this now would I be able to cancel my current O2 contract which is up next month and move the number to this one. The upgrade deals are nowhere near as good
simile to aprilg
9 Nov 15#39
If you are starting a new contract on the same network they can't transfer your number over. If you want to keep your number you will have to get a spare sim on another network, Port your number to that new network, once it's gone through, you then have to port your number back to o2. It's a bit of a time and hassle but it can be done.
However when I did this for my mum who was/is on o2 they royally fluffed it up and it took nearly 2 weeks and a dozen calls to o2 to sort it out.

It's not direct from o2 I forgot ,it can be funny might be better putting a 3 sim in it first or it might be totally unlocked but doubtfull

Just put a Three SIM (even a Pay As You Go one) in it as soon as you get it, then after a few minutes take it out and put any SIM of your choice inside. Your phone will be fully unlocked by doing this.

It will work. I did it on my mate's 6s yesterday actually! He was initially sceptical but when I told him it increases the resale value, he let me do it!

Uh oh this was just what I needed to upgrade from my 5, still costing me £19 a month more than current Giffgaff, but it's about time I upgraded.
Does anyone know if there is a possibility of buying out the contract on refresh? Or did that have to be bought on a different contract
preecey to owens101
9 Nov 15#58
Unfortunately O2 Refresh is only available if you buy from O2 direct. If you go through any other sales channel like mobiles.co.uk/CPW etc then the contract will be a combined airtime and device tariff plan, with no option to pay off the handset part early.

Had a 6s 128gb briefly a few weeks ago that was sold as locked to O2 and arrived locked to O2?
Tried putting a EE sim in it to start with and it just came up with a message saying it was an invalid sim or something and I should use the correct one?
It worked fine with an O2 sim, just mentioning that these O2 locked phones seem to be locked to O2 as opposed to locking to the first operator sim you put in them, like previous iphones have?
Never tried the "3" sim trick, can anyone else confirm that this works?
If everyone sticks 3 sim in then doesn't unlock were all sucked with a f
manjimup1998 to argosextra
9 Nov 15#90
On the forum it has a point. "If the phone has never had a sim in it, putting in a 3 sim may lock the phone (to 3). If it does, then 3 will unlock it free of charge, so the end result is what you want; an unlocked phone. :confused:

thats not what the page says - extract below
Pay Monthly and Pay & Go customers
If you're a Pay Monthly customer, then you can unlock your iPhone at any time, for free. This doesn't affect your contract though – you'll still need to see out the rest of it. This policy may vary depending on your phone and tariff.
To unlock your phone, just fill out this unlocking form and we'll do the rest.
Make sure you enter the mobile number that you bought the phone with, to avoid being charged.
Once we've got your form, it'll take up to 72 hours for us unlock it. Once it's unlocked, we'll text you to let you know. You can then put a non-O2 sim into the iPhone and connect it to iTunes. iTunes will then tell you the phone is unlocked.

To solve that problem just pop a Three SIM inside the phone as soon as you get it. Wait a few minutes, take it out and then pop the O2 SIM in.
Voila. You now have a perfectly unlocked phone with a higher resale value.

preecey to kerryrobb
10 Nov 15#149
They're just trying to scare you with RPI inflation. What that basically means is that O2 will increase the price of your contract each year around March/April time. This will be typically no more than 50p a month. Tesco doesn't do that.

No, it's a standard contract. Refresh is only available from O2 direct.

Can't argue with this for value though!

Same here, but isn't this deal on a monthly contract with o2? Surely if I put my giffgaff sim in I still will be charged £31 per month otherwise how does o2 make its money. Sorry if I'm being dim but I'm just about to place an order.

Sorry boss, still £819 such a high price, not worth, I am happy with my £209 worth of huawei honor 7 specs : 5.2", 16 gb, dual sim, micro sd, irda sensor, gps, gyro, 4g, 3 gb ram, 20 mp sony main camera with duel tone flash, 8 mp front camera with led flash, fm radio, dual antena design and btw complete metal unibody with more screen to body ratio, 72% vs 65%, 425 vs 326 ppi, screen size 5.2" vs 4.7", 20 mp vs 12 mp main camera, front camera 8 mp vs 5 mp, only hype, apple have to thanks people worldwide iphone buyers because of their huge support they can sell cheapest config phone for such a high price/margin, no surprice that's why company is richer than ever before
And honor 7 is now available to order and delivered from uk so local sales and support and mine has 3 years warranty offered as part of promotion, its really funny but it's difficult to beat £209 of honor 7 with £619 iphone 6s, and btw if I get sim only deal with cashback and buy any top android phone I can still save lot money compared to iphone
This deal is nothing special, only things honor 7 can't beat is "hypnotized iphone fans"
Lol forgets to mention the main point: honor 7 has fingerprint reader also, which is fastest in the world

For those looking to try the Three SIM trick I did just this with an iPhone 6 - Apple were replacing my EE iPhone, I bought a Three PAYG SIM from the nearby Three store in Meadowhall, stuck it in and VOILA - worked on Three...locked to Three.
Got my wife to request the unlock from them as she had a Three contract - they told her the model was not registered to their network so they couldn't unlock initially she just got a 'there has been a problem' text.
This was an Apple refurb, and I know these work like Carphone Warehouse iPhones in that they lock to the first SIM. I was also hoping that putting the Three SIM would unlock it and increase the resale value down the line. Unfortunately I was left in a position where I couldn't use my own contract SIM with EE in my own replacement for an EE phone.
I got lucky eventually and EE agreed to unlock it under the circumstances.
I'm not saying the trick won't work but it definitely didn't work in my situation - it just left me with a phone locked to Three that couldn't be unlocked by Three :-/
preecey to misterleoni
10 Nov 15#181
That's unfortunate. The Three SIM trick worked fine on my iPhone 6 which I bought as a refurb on O2 from mobiles.co.uk earlier this year.
Received phone, popped in my PAYG Three SIM straight away, waited a minute or two 'just in case', then took it out and popped my O2 SIM in, which it happily accepted.

Bought my 64GB outright straight from Apple, pay £15 P/M for unlimited calls/texts and 2GB of capped data and I've literally never ran out of data and I leave it on constantly and use YouTube and all the other social media. Then when I come to upgrade next year and unlocked iPhone 6s 64GB will probably sell for around £100 less like the other models always did and I'll sell it and upgrade :smiley:
Don't forget to buy a case with a cut-out section for the Apple logo so everyone can see just how cool and wealthy you are.

10 Nov 15#197
You'll find that the vast majority of people who go on review sites only go on there to vent their anger or frustration. It's rare for a satisfied customer to comment positively on their experiences on such sites.
Mobiles.co.uk are very reputable and are part of Carphone Warehouse.
lump to coz1873
10 Nov 15#201
mobiles.co.uk were good for me on my last purchase. The quidco worked without hassle. The only problem is they were relentless trying to get hold of me come renewal time.
They're part of Carphone Warehouse, meaning some mobiles.co.uk customer information was leaked when they were attacked this year.

Just like Microsoft, Google,etc; Apple is open to exploits App Store hacked

All networks and devices are vulnerable and Apple is certainly not 'faultless'.
Stuebydoo
10 Nov 15#195
Hopefully they will fulfil your order, I tried for 2 months to order form them earlier in the year, and kept saying it was out of stock despite their website saying it was in stock. Then they decided to change the terms of the contract and raise the price £10 a month too.
kiish
10 Nov 15#196
I never said Apple are faultless? I said their end to end encryption is, go see latest court reports. Apple are unable to help unlock devices as no encryption key is stored so once you "lose" or "forget" your pass code the device data is unrecoverable.
Same applies to nearly all tv/broadband/mobile providers - as you know most people only review when they have issues or are frustrated, they're owned by carphone warehouse so you're 'relatively' safe. Either way, most times if you can't get help you just complain on their FB/Twitter, they resolve the issue :smiley:

Great deal, voted hot.
Have to say though that a Note is by far a better phone in every way than the 6s or 6s plus (I have a personal Note 5 and a company issued 6s). The deal is hot because it's the best deal of this nature you can get, but that doesn't mean the iphone isn't horribly overpriced or overrated, even at this price. Kinda baffles me why anyone would go for an inferior phone at a greater price, but hey ho, we're all different.

It was actually when you mentioned 'user privacy' being faultless (you did mention encryption as well) which I don't agree with.

Genuinely don't know whether to go for this - EE can't get anywhere near even with the 30% F&F discount. Feel loath to bin off the EE discount but even with buying out my contract (£98), this works out cheaper.
EDIT: Damn it, ordered.

Should also say EE retentions decided almost straight away they could get nowhere near and gave me my PAC without asking.

Yes, a month early. However you'll probably find that a new connection at the end of the term will be cheaper. You won't lose your number, either. If you stay with O2 for the new connection just call them to transfer your number over from the old contract to the new one.

Amazing looking through deals for Android phones then comparing them to iphone deals.
Not one person trolling in an android thread. yet every single Android troll comes crawling out of the woodwork at the first sight of an iphone thread. Android fanboys should really grow up and stop trying to nitpick at every single tiny detail, i hate to break it to you but Android has its fair share of issues too. "ooohhh iphone 6S, overpriced" Nobody comments that the Galaxy Edge is overpriced though...
And for the record, i have both an S6 and an iphone 6S - which do i prefer? Neither. Neither are perfect nor revolutionary, they just have gimmicky features nowadays to try and show off.
I remember the days of being amazed when a phone had a colour screen or bluetooth, and WAP was an added bonus.

Great deal OP - Heat added for the cost savings.
The user feedback of Mobiles (and CPW who own them) has mixed reviews dependent on which review site you go to but generally I'd be happy with the service offered. I would be more concerned that the site was hacked a couple of months back which is why I haven't buckled yet :neutral_face: See the link: http://www.mobiles.co.uk/information.html
This meant obligations to the data protection act was not met that people's personal data was leaked including employment details and bank account details.

Care to explain what is wrong with the new version of Touchwiz in the Note 5? (Bet you're going to google it now lol).
Touchwiz is great on the Note 5, and actually necessary for a phone like the Note. The only people who say otherwise are those who are just used to vanilla Android. Either way, Android with or without Touchwiz is still a few steps ahead of iOS. Until iOS gets widgets it's just vastly inferior from my personal viewpoint. And the S-Pen just makes the Note a more useful device than a non-penned phone.

You would pay approx £20 a month for the sim only version of this deal. (£480 over 2 years)
Leaving £339 towards the phone. The phone would still be worth about £300 after 24 months, so true cost of about £39 for the phone...

That does NOT make it a cold deal. Can you find this phone, with this data/mins/texts cheaper elsewhere... If you can please share. If Not then this is 'Hot' That is how this site works. We are not voting on how much data you or anyone else might use.
Same point to those who say Cold cause its an iphone or they don't like the colour or don't like to order on a Tuesday.... Too many folk don't get how this site is supposed to work!!!
Rant Over!!!!!!

Ssshhh stop talking sense, that's the massive bonus about an iPhone, ok a more expensive device but you need to recognise the resale value is much higher and regardless what others say Apples CS is top class, all my devices have been swapped over no questions asked and only the other week they exchanged my iPhone 6 outside of warranty, now I'm not sure if Samsung or other manufacturers provide that level of service

Ahhh, just after I re-negotiate a 12 month SIM only contract, this pops up. This is the kind of deal I was looking for last week!

Just ask for the same deal. Hopefully they will oblige or offer something similiar.

dean_brfc to herrbz
10 Nov 152#337
You should get a seven day cooling off period, depends what day you ordered it. Give them a ring.
I love Android so I wouldn't switch, but this is a cracking deal.
Why is everyone getting the maths so badly wrong? The £819 includes your monthly bill for two years. People saying you can buy a £200 Android phone...you can, but you still have to pay monthly bills. Let's say £15 a month for a comparable contract - £200 + (£15 x 24) = £560. You'll need to make it nearer £300 to get a comparable phone as well, so let's say £650 for a comparable deal. Not a great deal of difference.

Almost £1000 for a phone....what?
joncoyle87 to kay1992
10 Nov 151#314
Show your workings...
How is it nearly a grand for the phone?
You would pay approx £20 a month for the sim only version of this deal. (£480 over 2 years)
Leaving £339 towards the phone. The phone would still be worth about £300 after 24 months, so true cost of about £39 for the phone...

Ordered, can anyone confirm whether the Three sim trick works? I have a Three sim which I could carry on using until my number ports over but don't want to risk locking the phone to Three.

If I wanted a photo of you and everywhere else was selling for more then yes, that would be a Hot deal.
kiish
10 Nov 151#338
This is £819 for the 2 years, £619 for phone so £8.33/mo for o2
If you buy phone from Apple for £619, you can get this:
EE - 12 mo contract - Unlim mins/text + 4GB data for £19.99/mo + £144 cashback (redemption) so £7.99/mo
£619 + 95.88 (7.99 x 12) = 714.88
Sell phone after 12 months, value will be more then 24 mo. By then you can probably get cheap SIM only plans if you keep phone
Cheaper by £10 for 2 overs with same plan
Scoobyd
10 Nov 151#339
Excellent deal. Best you'll find out there right now.
Also as mentioned earlier if you've got an old handset to shift going through the Mazuma link for the additional £50 voucher can help make a great deal even better!
Just bought it! Does anyone know if it comes with 4G?
nothingmuch to Gentatsu
10 Nov 15#343
Yes it does come with 4g
Banterlicious

Scoobyd
10 Nov 151#346
Unless you're constantly streaming hi def music, movies and tv while out and about I'd say 3GB should still be sufficient for a lot of people. More than enough for social media, news apps, navigation, emails, internet etc etc. Plus with most people having wifi connections at home and at work the reliance on data becomes less.
kiish
10 Nov 15#347
Assuming you can afford upfront cost yes, value of sale will be more at 12 then 24 mo.

dean_brfc
10 Nov 15#351
How much will you spend over 24 months using your method of 12 months contract, resale then do that process again? It's a pointless comparison at the moment.
I use my 4g data all the time for streaming Spotify. Can't keep connecting to wifi when I'm on public transport or driving. Luckily I have unlimited with Three - main reason I won't change my contract, I don't think they even offer unlimited any more.

You could gain more in interest in the bank on that £619 than you would save by buying it outright and doing the deal the way you mentioned.

You could, hence the SIM Only is only worth it if you want to sell the phone in 12 months where its value will probably be at least worth £100+ more then 24 months.
Value of 6s in a year? At least 350
In 2 years? 250?

Wait - if *you* wanted a photo? That's not what you said before.
You said if something was the cheapest price around then it must be a hot deal.
You get a lot of deals here for cheap tat. It's still tat, so I'll vote it cold. I don't care if it's a cheap novelty t shirt, a free mug or a picture of me for £500. It's still tat, so I'd vote cold. Other people might vote hot. I don't blame them, I am really really ridiculously good looking, but I see me in the mirror every day so I don't need the photo.
Anyway, I digress. Cheapest available doesn't necessarily mean hot.

Technology is getting better soon we will have live tv on phones . Supported by forced adverts . Mobile phone companies will see a opportunity to charge £1 a gb for data . See how they all give unlimited texts because people use iMessage and what's app no demand for texts! . I have Netflix and sky go on my phone and when Iam bored I watch it and it uses about 500mb every hour . Data on mobiles is gonna get massive ! Grab a three all you can eat unlimited data while you can as it will soon disappear . 3gb is not enough for future technology !

They're still accepting orders, doubt its out of stock. Perhaps o2 has some sort of different credit/job criteria for this offer for customers?
50/50, UK Competition and Markets Authority don't want it to happen but are happy to let BT buy EE for whatever reason. Strange world.

I didn't have a dispatch notification so I rang them and I had not put in my bank details correctly, she took all the details and confirmed delivery there and then. I asked how long she thought the offer would be on and she said maybe a few days.
I have just ordered a second one online, no problems, I'm happy x
madda
10 Nov 15#369
Ordered mine, I wonder if it will go through. Surely they can't decline based on no stock and say it's due to your credit rating. That's all kinds of wrong.

Just a point for anyone who works in the public sector - if your employer is part of a salary sacrifice scheme you could get his for less (saving approx £150 by my calculation). my employer is no longer part of the scheme so I've jut ordered mine and the wife's through this deal. Thanks OP

10 Nov 15#383
How long ago did you take out the Three contract? If it's within 14 days and you originally ordered it online or by phone you should be able to cancel it under the Distance Selling Regulations, or whatever it's called nowadays. You'd still have to pay for anything you've used in that time, though.

But that's not how the site works, it's a deal site not a popularity, quality, tat site, you vote on the deal, deal less than rrp, it's hot, deal rrp cold. You can add comment to threads on how good the deal is or why you think it's cold or if you are a droid then you always come and winge on Apple threads and then moan on android ones.
This page might offer some advice on how to vote http://www.hotukdeals.com/help though you have been around long enough you probably won't change now :smiley:

If you are out of contract or 30 day one you can do it.As soon as you get your new number,ask o2 to transfer over from the old to the new contract.They are happy to do that.I did it over the live chat,no problem,just need to receive the new number as they want to send your password on it.

Above post is correct - I find it frustrating when looking for say, an iPhone deal and they're all voted cold, not because of the price or offer available, but because of how people view the product.

Ah, damn. Sorry to hear that.
It is bizarre though as over here in Swansea Three and EE are vastly superior to O2. Outside of the city centre you'll only ever get GPRS from O2 but full 3G from both EE and Three. From personal experience however I have found O2 to be better than EE in Cardiff. EE's quite congested there.

I'm sorry but £820 for a 2 year contract is ridiculous. So many sim only offers out there that are dirt cheap, and when phones like the g3 are under £200 why the hell do you need an iPhone? You can pretend to look cool on instagram on most smartphones...
preecey to lukeyboi89
10 Nov 15#403
I'm an Android fan at heart but I own an iPhone 6 and have used an LG G3. The G3's battery life is awful! Not to mention the gradual slowdown over time due to the processor struggling to handle the sheer amount of unnecessary pixels packed into the screen. Pixel densities above 400ppi are just overkill and deplete your battery faster.
dean_brfc to lukeyboi89
10 Nov 15#405
How much are you going to be paying in bills over the 2 years on your £200 G3? It's not £820 vs £200, more likely £820 vs ~£600.
I'm an Android user and previous G3 owner btw!

lukeyboi89
10 Nov 15#418
I was just using the g3 as an example, plenty of other phones at a similar price, honor 7 etc (with discount code)
And I never said it was £200 vs £800.
Loads of sim only offers out there, e.g Virgin media sim only unlimited is £15 per month, plus most of the time you can get cashback of £50 or around there with ease. Not that anyone needs unlimited, plenty of other providers have 3gb offers etc for much less.
And to address the other guy, I don't care what anyone does with their money, but when there's suitable alternatives for less than half the price I thought it might be worth sharing.
preecey to lukeyboi89

Virgin haven't done unlimited data for a while now, and they only offer 3G. But I suppose iD Mobile do offer competitive deals around that mark.

I have to agree. I'm in inner London and have just returned an S6 Edge because with o2 I couldn't get 4g at all and even 3g was very poor. What's happened to o2? Regarding EE retentions I tried several times and couldn't get anything out of them despite being with tmobile for more years than I care to remember
cecilmcroberts to bargainbuyer29
10 Nov 15#436
I left Orange/EE for O2 because of the bad signal where I live in N.Ireland! O2 also has TU GO now which more or less lets you receive calls/texts if you have wifi but no mobile signal. You can also use on another device for example your PC/Laptop and text/phone/receive etc using your own mobile number.
Anyhow off topic and good deal thanks OP had been looking for an iPhone deal for my niece.

Just ordered this for my mum. Finally gets her away from awful Vodafone to a half decent network at least! Factor in the £150 ish I should be able to get for her current iPhone 5S to offset against this and it's a cracking deal.

With o2 you can ask them to unlock your phone. And they do it for free. Just go on there website
I'm only getting the vodafone deal now,anyone else getting same thing?

Its easier to find once you sort O2 and select handset price £100-200 from the left hand side menu.

MoneyTrain81
10 Nov 15#460
Now now. You obviously jumped wildly to a conclusion about this particular deal. I said data is overpriced. And that means on basically all phone networks is what I'm saying. This deal has nothing to do with the fact I said data is overpriced.
kiish
10 Nov 15#461
Fair enough, might have wanted to mention that. Anyways its probably cause no one uses calls and texts now so data is the only thing the can make profit on.
MoneyTrain81
10 Nov 15#462
That's kinda my point. If nobody uses calls or texts, then deals like this having 'unlimited' calls and texts is kinda gilding the lilly unnecessarily. Knocking both of those options to reasonable numbers means they could then sort the data out. But only 3 seem to bother with good data allownaces and less minute options (sim only deals), and even their contract prices are rising now.

Ta - I had a look
"The HUKD temperature gauge (the little red and blue arrow next to each deal) is used by members to show their opinion on the deals, competitions, vouchers and freebies on HUKD. Members vote "hot" for those offers that seem pretty special. Enough hot votes and the deal will go front page."
Maybe you should have a read through too.
'Vote hot for offers that seem pretty special'
Doesn't actually say anything about price. In fact, 'seems pretty special' actually implies that it's subjective. An opinion. Not just a grade based on price.
There's nothing special about tat, regardless of the price. And a bad product at a good price is doesn't make it a special deal.
This deal looks good to me. Enough minutes, texts and data for most (me included). Good price for a good product. Nothing staggering about it but worth an upvote.
When someone posts a £50 'full suspension' Tesco bike then I tend to vote cold. Great price, lousy product.

I thought about calling but it's Mazuma who actually give the £50 voucher and I'm sure they do that based in any referral fee they get for the contract you take out with mobiles.co.UK so can't see why they would give me the vouchers. Just concerned about the potential hassle of cancelling two orders then re-ordering. Will have a think!

I rang Tesco today for my PAC code today to swap to this and the guy on the end of the phone tried to talk me out of this saying that there is no protection in the contract that doesn't stop the company putting up the cost f the phone with inflation and the cost of the contact in line with the current O2 costs.

Was about to buy this sim free and stick with my unlimited data three sim but am now in two minds. Is it worth paying an extra £7.50ish a month to keep unlimited data? I've also just spent a couple of weeks in America and being able to use your phone freely abroad is something I would definitely miss if I left three.
herby247 to spy16
10 Nov 15#512
I am in the exact same boat mate, on unlimited everything with Three for £40 per month, used in New York, Florida and back to to New York in Jan again, having the ability to use it abroad for FREE and not worry about extra roaming charges is worth being a Three customer alone for me, each to their own though.

10 Nov 15#513
One way to put the whole RPI thing that everyone keeps saying about (guessing Tesco Mobile well trained to say so) is that every company is entitled to do this if they please but anything more than what O2 state is against Ofcom rulings which mean you would then be entitled to walk away from your contract if you decide not to accept the rise after the 30 days notice which they must give. Tesco mobile currently state they will not exercise this right. I'm guess this would stand as your contract T&C's at the time of taking out the contact, but its not to say in the future they will or will not.
Really you are talking about 50p per month for 1 year. unless the RPI drastically goes up.
Amazing deal! Couldn't find anything anywhere near as good as this
mackie7722

cecilmcroberts
10 Nov 15#520
Sorry, maybe 90p in this case (Possibly). Forgot this deal would be an all in one cost whereas my current O2 contract is refresh so it was only applied to the airtime part of my contract not the phone part (as the phone price is the price of the phone at the time of contract taken out)
Out of contract costs are also entitled to go up by this much also. So the likes of out of contract minutes and 08 whatever it is these days numbers can go up also and data.

10 Nov 151#530
Ah right sorry misunderstood. Guess it depends whether you've got an old phone to get rid of (I've got an old 5 64GB that's looking worse for wear but will cover my buy out cost).
Given how cold iPhone deals usually go on here, even with the Android fanboy comments littering the thread j think it shows what a deal it is, you can't get the 6 64GB on this kind of tariff let alone the 6S.
Don't see it being matched again in the near future, I'm giving up a 30% EE discount at next renewal in favour of this.

Great deal! £31 is very manageable considering the same tariff is £17 SIM only on EE. Just ordered a Space Grey version. The 16gb models are too finicky with all the space management you have to do. 64GB means you can record plenty of 4K footage, download lots of games and take many photos.

11 Nov 15#565
Technically it's not locked. mobiles.co.uk have the same stock as the Carphone Warehouse,. These Apple iPhones comes partially unlocked, but lock to the first SIM inserted. If you lock it to the EE SIM, it will be pain to get a full unlock as you can't prove to EE that you purchased the phone on their network, whereas if you lock it to O2, it will in theory be an easier unlock.

11 Nov 15#582
I have an old three contract, £15/m with unlimited everything and tethering. So compare with keeping that sim and buying the phone outright from Apple, I'd save the equivalent of £6.70 month. Not worth it as 3gb isn't very good, I hardly use 3/4g and still average 5gb a month. Also three is excellent when travelling abroad, zero costs to use in many countries, that's the deal breaker for me. Still voted hot though

Hi There,
After this order, once you get a new number, you need to call O2 with your PAC code. You can get the PAC code from calling the cancellations department of the old network. O2 will then do the rest. Hope that helps.

StuJHUKD
11 Nov 15#585
Thanks to the OP for the deal and to the poster who linked the extra £50 Mazuma offer.
Ordered this deal for my wife last night as she was looking for an upgrade and this was by far the best iPhone 6S deal that I have seen, and worked out over £150 cheaper over 2 years than her buying the phone direct from Apple and staying on her current SIM only deal (which admittedly was not the best and was costing her £5 too much per month, but she didn't want to move). And that is before taking the extra £50 from Mazuma into account which will save me the hassle of eBay and will also likely lead to her getting at least £30 more for her old iPhone 4S.
As to those complaining about 3GB of data, I have a 2GB allowance on my work contract phone and have only exceeded it once in the last 2 years, which is when our home broadband was down for a few days and I was tethering while working from home. My wife has a 1GB allowance and has never gone over it to my knowledge. Not everyone needs GBs and GBs of data for their usage, so 3GB is more than enough for probably the vast majority of the population.

Watched this thread since it was first post, phones been in and out of my basket a dozen times wondering if a better deal will come along - but the bullet this morning

11 Nov 151#600
My phone is being delivered today. I phoned tesco to get PAC, they informed me that mobiles.co.uk could not possibly offer that deal and the likelihood is they will increase the contract to £51 a month as it'll be hidden in TnCs that they can..........I'm now rather worried. Is this possible? Likely? Anybody had any experience of this? I'm hoping the tesco lad was just trying uber hard to keep me as a customer and take his offer of £46 a month instead.
benjyyy to lilmisswelshstar
11 Nov 15#601
It seems Tesco reps will go to any lengths to stop people from leaving. Poor show really.
matt139 to lilmisswelshstar
11 Nov 15#615
If that occurred, not only would the contract be rendered invalid but there would be MASSIVE backlash for carphone warehouse and more than likely feature on something like watch dogs, their reputation would pretty much destroy themselves. It's scaremongering so you won't leave Tesco =)

Thank you, I thought being able to up the contract by almost 50% was a tad unlikely but it definitely had me worried and querying cancelling with mobiles.co.uk
kiish to lilmisswelshstar
11 Nov 15#607
They're lying quite badly, if they increased it by that amount you would be able to leave contract free. The max o2 can increase without allowing you to leave is per the RPI (retail price index) every year which was stated on the order form, max £1 most likely a lot less. Not all do that however.
ollie87
11 Nov 15#605
Actually a bit of analysis proves this to be an amazing deal.
A 64GB iPhone 6s is £619.00. The lifetime of this contract is £819. So the contact by itself is £200 for two years of unlimited calls and texts, and 3GB of data - that's £8.33 a month. I'm struggling to find a similar deal SIM-only, the cheapest I can find is £14.99 a month through The People's Operator.

what a sweet deal. i have a keen eye for deals as future investments, considering getting a few of these, i reckon they could go up a fair bit in the future.

Agreed, I'm thinking of ordering a few too and selling them when the iphone 7 is released
How is using a lot of data not having a life? I'm out every weekend enjoying myself n not tied to a WiFi signal and use over 15gb a month catching up with football results, listening to music streams, backing up photos to the cloud etc...

Well I've filled out the return form for my first order which has jut been delivered and tried to reorder through the Mazuma link - just been rejected! phoned them and the lad went through everything only to find I'd failed the security check due to the fact I had an open order or something. Said I'd have to try again once my original one has been returned although there's no guarantee it will work then and may be too late anyway. Considering just leaving it now.
chrish5244 to chrish5244

On a monthly amount of £31, unless we get into the realms of hyperinflation (at which point paying for your monthly phone bill is going to be the least of your worries), sub £1 per year rises are to be expected.

11 Nov 15#624
Very good deal. I ended up buying the handset outright from Apple for £619 in the end after getting d!cked around by mobiles.co.uk in terms of dispatching a handset - but this is the kind of deal that I was actually looking for in the first place.
brookysm
11 Nov 15#625
But still not a guarantee! Currently its unlikely but who can say that for 2 years? (This contract will see 2 price increases btw).
mossy3
11 Nov 15#626
Pity o2 in Derby is seriously poor. Voted hot though.
Bal
11 Nov 15#627
I appreciate that but to start it from the day of dispatch is taking the pi$$. Pretty sure in the past the sim would automatically activate within a 7 day period if not done sooner.

11 Nov 15#630
Thanks OP, I've ordered this.
As I have a (business) virtual landline with o2 that diverts 200 mins of incoming calls to any o2 mobile per month for only £7.20, it fits nicely. Previously I had to have an extra phone with an o2 payg sim in it!
By the way, I was given the choice of any colour, so mine's grey (gray).
SteveWilliams1
11 Nov 15#632
Im currently on a monthly sim only deal with Tesco Mobile. I believe that they use 02 as the network carrier. Can I get a PAC code from Tesco to port my number to 02 or are they treated as the same?
My daughter got 6S 64gb last month from CPW with 6gb data. She is paying £35pm with an upfront cost of £130. However, as the carrier is Vodafone the monthly amount stays the same across the term of the contract.
Bill de Sarce to SteveWilliams1
11 Nov 15#636
Yes, PAC code required.
I'm moving from EE to o2 and have my code ready.
I believe that you have to ring them within 24 hrs or so of using the new phone & sim.
kiish to SteveWilliams1
11 Nov 15#644
Tesco are independant MVNO so o2 should let you transfer, i'd go on the o2 site and ask live chat to double check.

Just checking but is this discount code only limited to iphones as I tried on a samsung but did not work :disappointed:
twinkle
11 Nov 15#634
Highest I can remember is around 25% in 1975 when we had a 5-10 year period of inflation (great rates for savers though) - yes I am that old...so that's £7 a month. It wobbled in the late 80's but not been over 5% since then...probably more risky getting on a plane.
Bill de Sarce
11 Nov 15#635
I think that distance selling laws would allow you to do that.
Cancel and re-order might be the way forward?
Or ring them and see if there's an alternative to you using this option(?).

aww decisions, i was going to divorce apple after many years of iphone marriage for the LG G4 £299 deal & get a giffgaff sim 4gb data pm for 24m + th eLG = £659. i know 3gb data is low but this seems a good deal enough to stay.
Oh no advice please, i was getting excited being free from apple, but this is like fate hehe
ollie87
11 Nov 15#659
Why? It's a lot cheaper than any other contract I've seen. The phone itself straight from Apple is £619, so it's a unlimited calls and texts and then 3GB data contract for £200 for two years.
You simply can't beat this deal, even if you bought the phone separately and tried to find a SIM only deal.
It wouldn't be for me, but for a lot of people it is fine.
You aren't voting on if you like iPhones or not, you're voting on if the deal is good or not.

Once again, like a broken record.

Sorry , 64gb. Told him mobiles.co.uk part of cpw so can he do same deal. O2 4g isn't in my area so I was reluctant to go with this but price is very good. Done it with ee, wanted £120 for the phone but said I budgeted £70 for this deal and he agreed. Even though slightly more a month, more data and I get 4g

chrish5244
11 Nov 15#679
No, the issue with mine was that it wouldn't let me re-order through Mazuma at all (failed security check as already had an 'open' order). So I asked if there was any way I could keep my original order and get the Mazuma deal otherwise I would just cancel and leave it altogether.
The contract is still through mobiles.co.UK regardless its just that if you do it through mazuma's site they get commission and they give you a voucher.

The girl popped me on hold for 2mins, came back and said she is having a cheque for £50 posted to me.
Bonus, as I recon i'll get more than £105 for my 32gb iphone 5 anyway.
coolio28 to joncoyle87
11 Nov 15#699
The bit about the cheque being posted by mobiles.co.uk can't be right because I called up and asked when would the £50 bonus cheque/ code be sent over and he said it's sent by mazuma once they get confirmation from mobiles.co.uk that phone has been dispatched.
I hope that they do send you it but different to what I've been told.

No way are ney refurbs. You can actually select refurbished phones in he drop down menu separately. I would guess the sales person is just presuming they are refurbs due to how good the deal is compared to others.
coolio28
11 Nov 15#705
Oh right okay my bad. that's really nice of them to compensate by sending a cheque for £50.00 but why would they do that? Surely as a business they lose out by sending a cheque of £50.00, how would they even know if you traded your phone in?

I called 3 to get my PAC code and had a tough time convincing them that I was leaving and they couldn't stop me. They tried to offer me the same deal for £44 a month! Hardly. They told me that the price would increase by a lot and I'd have to pay £50+ a month! They told me that 3 were buying 02 anyway so I should just stay with them. He actually sounded totally desperate and I wondered if he loses a bonus if people leave. After asking to speak to his manager I finally got him to put me through to the person that can give me my PAC code. Phew.

3 sim trick. I'm not sure if some people just like to see the world burn.
Would be very cruel to get people locked on the worst network 3.
usenetz to DealWhore
11 Nov 15#732
Like I said earlier if you put a Three SIM in the iPhone supplied as part of this deal then it appears to work however if you do not go through the whole 'Activation' process with that SIM still in the handset but replace with your new O2 SIM then the iPhone will lock to O2.
I don't know what would have happened if I had kept the Three SIM in the phone but suspect it would have either locked to Three or as part of the Three activation would have unlocked the phone completely.
We need someone to follow this through and report back but obviously only if you could handle the phone locking to Three.
Anyone?

Mine arrived today at 9:30am after ordering yesterday at about midday. Whole process very smooth so far. Can't fault mobiles.co.uk service & communications. Now just have to port number from giffgaff.
Excellent deal. Thanks OP. Glad I was off work yesterday to see this and take immediate advantage.
Disappointed with myself for not doing this via mazuma though as £50 extra for an iphone 4 would have been a great deal. Phone out of its box and plastic now so can't cancel (nor do I want to go through the hassle of returning anyway)
joncoyle87 to tasman
11 Nov 15#746
Call mobiles.co.uk
tell them you have since spotted the mazuma deal, and you're thinking of returning the phone you have now, and taking the deal out again via the mazuma link. They more than likely will then tell you to keep the phone you received today, and will post you a £50 cheque.
That's what they did for me and a couple of others

I just merged my old and new one accounts.In my o2 they are giving me a Refresh option to pay £465.00 to upgrade again(or just to pay off your contract).So that's £540.00 for new Iphone 6s 64gb.I'm not sure if you go for it will you have to pay the first monthly bill of £31.00 or just some part of it.

I am really tempted by this, but all the talk of poor battery life is a deal breaker for me.
Has anyone got any real life experience of this on the 6s?
riker71 to Kidsteruk
11 Nov 15#750
Most reviews by people and websites testing the battery say it's fine, eg gsmarena.com phonearena.com Reevoo user website. I'm coming from an iphone 5 over 2 years old so I'm sure it will be an improvement. Sure ideally they would have put a thicker battery in but it's no deal breaker. Plus you have 14 days to return if not happy. I'll be getting Lirum device app to check which A9 chip the phone has when it arrives, TSMC or Samsung. The phones with TSMC chip are reported to have better battery performance. Samsung’s chip shows up as N66AP or N71AP, while TSMC’s appears as N66MAP or N71MAP. if anyone has received theirs and can update here which chip they have that would be useful

Great deal was was going to buy this for my daughter for christmas but since my contract ends next month have gone for this deal giving that when you take the cost of the phone of the price the plan works out something like £8 a month. Don't forget deals you get on a monday with 02, meal deals from WHSmith, Boots and uppercrust, each meal deal cost just £1 instead of about £3.50, get 3 pays for contract, I won't eat them all myself that would be greedy :laughing: Thanks for posting this

Interesting deal as works out roughly as £8.34 per month (minus the handset cost) or £200 over 24 months. If I was able to get £150 quid for my old iPhone 5, I'd be ecstatic. Sadly 02 has awful coverage in my area so no deal for me, but hot regardless.

To the people who keep moaning about 3gb data not being enough.
I have bought this deal and have spoken to o2 chat online. You can upgrade to 5gb data a month for £3 more per month so £34. I think this is a pretty good deal. Also 10gb for £39.
riker71 to brendanb581

Thanks for this, as I'm on O2 now and will need to migrate my old number across. Sounds like cpw 02 service provider prices are better than O2 direct or am I missing something.

My current O2 contract is up for renewal in Feb. If I buy this contract now, can I port my number to it in Feb? Or would I have to get my PAC now & pay off the existing contract?

Probably to do with the 'GET DEAL' link takes you to the Gold phone only.
If you then change the colour option another tariff comes up. So useless.

Once upgraded, you can downgrade back down to your base tariff of 3gb whenever you like if you change your mind.

People don't even know that Android runs in a Virtual Machine whereas Apple is native to the hardware. So being native Apple is able to do the same thing but with less RAM and CPU compared to Android running in a VM. 1GB of 3GB android RAM may probably just be used for garbage collection. Fanboys gonna fan, I wouldn't get worked up if someone is too stupid and is a spec ****.

You seem to be getting worked up rather nicely tho....
Oh and it isn't running in a virtual machine either. Android itself is core code no different the the Linux platform its based on. The difference between Apple and Android devices is the code has to be kept wide and broad as it has to run across many differing hardware solutions and therefore it isn't possible to optimise it without losing the ability to support many differences (which officially Google has done in the past, The change from Gingerbread to Jellybean saw many devices lose official support, Marshmallow looks like it might be the start of other devices that will require wholesale modding of Android versions to continue to be running on it. Manufacturers have to tweak code given by Google for their devices in order for them to run smoothly, its exactly the same as the guys and girls on XDA are doing with the source code on whatever they are modding!

I know fully how it all works 'brah'! Dalvik was changed when the spat happened between Google and Oracle, if you knew what you were talking about then you'd have known that it was possible to switch between the 2 for a while or did you think that Google shipped 2 versions of Android with every upgrade?....
Dalvik and Art are for simple coding instruction exactly the same as HTML and Java are that running top of the source code, Android is not running in a VM its the OS, if it wasn't don't you think someone might be a bit pee'd off that all these phones and gadgets are available running off the back of someone else's and they weren't getting paid for it?
Android is a version of Linux, pure and simple and that's it - end of!

Out of date specs but still runs blazing fast and works beautifully synced with my iPad and Mac over iCloud, stupid Apple what are they thinking
Even that link shows you know absolutely jack about Android as that fells you that apps are running on top of Android.
Also it completely misses the boat, the reason for lots of ram = lots of apps running together, you know actual multitasking not the freezing of apps that have been moved to the background. That's the way how Apple keeps up performance, it shuts down background operations whereas Android only does once it's memory is full or the task is manually killed.

As for customer service, other than with Samsung I've never had an issue with any other suppliers customer service and oddly enough it seems Apple devices can't be very reliable seeing as people are forever saying how great it is whenever they have had a problem - personally I prefer it when my electronics simply don't break....

I spoke to o2 today and they confirmed that they will unlock foc in 6 months time. The only alternative to this is to contact Apple themselves. They will unlock but apparently charge a fee (I don't know what the fee is, if you wanna know, call 'em!) ;-)
How is this a deal? This is only marginally less than buying the phone outright + my existing rolling unlimited plan on three. But you'd be stuck with a crappy 2 year contract. Can you change/upgrade halfway in the contract?

Its not marginally less but infinitely better than outright buying phone + unlimited minutes + 3gb data is =649+600=£1249.
The deal works out at £819. For me its a good deal even if i tried to get same with 3 they are charging £44 a month and 100 upfront. A saving of £420 is good in the long run.

The clincher for me was the fact that I have an o2 Business Landline account that allows me to divert incoming calls to a number of my choice. I can divert 200 mins per month to an o2 mobile at no extra cost. Diverting to my previous EE mobile would've cost 50p per minute. Needless to say I got an o2 payg sim deal but that meant having to use a 2nd phone.

Guys,today I've received my phone and activated it with the o2 sim supplied.I filled up online unlock form on o2 website,and been told that will receive a text in up to 14 days.Nothing else.I just decided to put in different sim( 3 one,only this I have) and it get connection and go through activation process.I didn't finish it,turned it off,put my o2 sim back,turned it on and again got o2 reception.I think that means the phone is unlocked,just not sure if it was unlocked or o2 did it.I haven't got any other nano sim to try.What do you think?

I pay £12 for unlimited data = 288 + 619 for the phone (list price) = £907. So less than £100 over two years without getting stuck in a contract. Unless you can pull out of the contract somehow? Or do people who take these deals always have their phones for two years? What happens if you lose it?

Thanks to wildturkey for this extra data info..............
Just got info from O2 online chat to confirm that you can upgrade the data to change your monthly tarrif to
5gb - £34
10gb -£39
20gb -£49
Once upgraded, you can downgrade back down to your base tariff of 3gb whenever you like if you change your mind.
Great deal
****EDIT*****
Update: This deal has been extended and will run up until the end of the Black Friday weekend. However, we understand there's a chance it may be pulled depending on stock (Gold is temporarily out of stock), due to the sheer popularity of it.

Perhaps each colour only has a certain amount mate not sure.
However when I did this for my mum who was/is on o2 they royally fluffed it up and it took nearly 2 weeks and a dozen calls to o2 to sort it out.
My brother has this phone. And atm he can't see any pictures on Facebook they all go blurry so a bug in the phone or app somewhere. phone shop can't figure it out. anyone know what prob is?

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THE THREE SIM TRICK, I CANNOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR ANY IPHONE 6s HANDSETS THAT ARE LOCKED TO THREE
Does anyone know if there is a possibility of buying out the contract on refresh? Or did that have to be bought on a different contract
This is a really good deal.
Ordered! Been thinking about buying it outright and sticking with my GG £12pm goody bag. This deal still cheaper over the 24 months.
How confident is the "three sim" unlock trick likely to work? Thx in advance.
Tried putting a EE sim in it to start with and it just came up with a message saying it was an invalid sim or something and I should use the correct one?
It worked fine with an O2 sim, just mentioning that these O2 locked phones seem to be locked to O2 as opposed to locking to the first operator sim you put in them, like previous iphones have?
Never tried the "3" sim trick, can anyone else confirm that this works?
:confused:

Pay Monthly and Pay & Go customers
If you're a Pay Monthly customer, then you can unlock your iPhone at any time, for free. This doesn't affect your contract though – you'll still need to see out the rest of it. This policy may vary depending on your phone and tariff.
To unlock your phone, just fill out this unlocking form and we'll do the rest.
Make sure you enter the mobile number that you bought the phone with, to avoid being charged.
Once we've got your form, it'll take up to 72 hours for us unlock it. Once it's unlocked, we'll text you to let you know. You can then put a non-O2 sim into the iPhone and connect it to iTunes. iTunes will then tell you the phone is unlocked.
Months sometimes longer no matter what sim is in it
Anyone know if with O2 already can transfer number across t this contract? Cheers.
How can this be....?
This is hot, waiting for quidco site to come back online to check cash back then ordering! Tcb is £10.50
Price is astoundingly good with the £100 off
http://www.o2.co.uk/help/phones-and-devices/unlocking-your-iphone-and-using-it-on-another-network
O2 wont unlock this phone for the next couple of months..otherwise this is a hot deal
Voila. You now have a perfectly unlocked phone with a higher resale value.
1, is it only in gold now at this price?
2, im with tesco mobile and ringing them they have said be careful as the contract price can be put up at any time? are they just scaremongering?
Thats convinced me enough order - now only problem....................which colour?!
Sorry the voucher you have tried to use is either invalid or has expired. Please try again or continue with your order. Thank you.
I don't know whether to upgrade or wait for the 7, as that's likely to be a more significant upgrade.
Can't argue with this for value though!
And honor 7 is now available to order and delivered from uk so local sales and support and mine has 3 years warranty offered as part of promotion, its really funny but it's difficult to beat £209 of honor 7 with £619 iphone 6s, and btw if I get sim only deal with cashback and buy any top android phone I can still save lot money compared to iphone
This deal is nothing special, only things honor 7 can't beat is "hypnotized iphone fans"
Lol forgets to mention the main point: honor 7 has fingerprint reader also, which is fastest in the world
Accidentally "liked" your post too....I'll seek forgiveness for that wrongdoing!.
I do agree it's a lot of money. But iPhones do have benefits over android. Big one being os updates and support.
Plus your price comparison doesn't include the tariff.
Each to their own.
Got my wife to request the unlock from them as she had a Three contract - they told her the model was not registered to their network so they couldn't unlock initially she just got a 'there has been a problem' text.
This was an Apple refurb, and I know these work like Carphone Warehouse iPhones in that they lock to the first SIM. I was also hoping that putting the Three SIM would unlock it and increase the resale value down the line. Unfortunately I was left in a position where I couldn't use my own contract SIM with EE in my own replacement for an EE phone.
I got lucky eventually and EE agreed to unlock it under the circumstances.
I'm not saying the trick won't work but it definitely didn't work in my situation - it just left me with a phone locked to Three that couldn't be unlocked by Three :-/
Received phone, popped in my PAYG Three SIM straight away, waited a minute or two 'just in case', then took it out and popped my O2 SIM in, which it happily accepted.
Apples encryption and user privacy is faultless and that's a major plus one regardless of price.

I think riding into Harrods on my gold plated Segway is enough indication that "I am considerably richer than yaaoow!"
Oh and btw that's probably one of the most deluded and dumbest posts I have read on here, I'm sure once your handset is no longer supported in 6 months time and you get every bug going and the thing is worth a tenner your be regretting that decision
Mobiles.co.uk are very reputable and are part of Carphone Warehouse.
They're part of Carphone Warehouse, meaning some mobiles.co.uk customer information was leaked when they were attacked this year.
App Store hacked
and with government agencies snooping...no device is safe.
All networks and devices are vulnerable and Apple is certainly not 'faultless'.
Same applies to nearly all tv/broadband/mobile providers - as you know most people only review when they have issues or are frustrated, they're owned by carphone warehouse so you're 'relatively' safe. Either way, most times if you can't get help you just complain on their FB/Twitter, they resolve the issue :smiley:

Have to say though that a Note is by far a better phone in every way than the 6s or 6s plus (I have a personal Note 5 and a company issued 6s). The deal is hot because it's the best deal of this nature you can get, but that doesn't mean the iphone isn't horribly overpriced or overrated, even at this price. Kinda baffles me why anyone would go for an inferior phone at a greater price, but hey ho, we're all different.
"From 2015, your O2 Pay Monthly tariff will be adjusted every year on your April bill by the Retail Price Index (RPI) rate of inflation announced in the preceding February."

Seems as though Windows Phone gets quite a lot of top reviews on the security front with Android being the easiest to hack, followed by Apple Iphone.
Most secure Mobile
EDIT: Damn it, ordered.
Not one person trolling in an android thread. yet every single Android troll comes crawling out of the woodwork at the first sight of an iphone thread. Android fanboys should really grow up and stop trying to nitpick at every single tiny detail, i hate to break it to you but Android has its fair share of issues too. "ooohhh iphone 6S, overpriced" Nobody comments that the Galaxy Edge is overpriced though...
And for the record, i have both an S6 and an iphone 6S - which do i prefer? Neither. Neither are perfect nor revolutionary, they just have gimmicky features nowadays to try and show off.
I remember the days of being amazed when a phone had a colour screen or bluetooth, and WAP was an added bonus.
Would it be a waste of money buying this and tossing the 02 sim away?
SIGH
First email sent O2 login details. 10 mins later, email for mobile.Co.Uk
Shame this deal isn't for the Honor 7 - Why do people cross post like this? What has an Iphone deal got to do with this?
I'm not an iPhone fan, but this IS a hot deal!!
https://www.secure-mobiles.com/customer_login/recommend
Anyone know if you can "delay" start of contract (ie. to around xmas time)?
Oh well :smile: lol.
The user feedback of Mobiles (and CPW who own them) has mixed reviews dependent on which review site you go to but generally I'd be happy with the service offered. I would be more concerned that the site was hacked a couple of months back which is why I haven't buckled yet :neutral_face: See the link:
http://www.mobiles.co.uk/information.html
This meant obligations to the data protection act was not met that people's personal data was leaked including employment details and bank account details.
Touchwiz is great on the Note 5, and actually necessary for a phone like the Note. The only people who say otherwise are those who are just used to vanilla Android. Either way, Android with or without Touchwiz is still a few steps ahead of iOS. Until iOS gets widgets it's just vastly inferior from my personal viewpoint. And the S-Pen just makes the Note a more useful device than a non-penned phone.
http://www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk/sim-only-deals
But its a good deal for those who cannot or will forget to redeem.
This deal works out just over £8 per month..
100% Apple fault they will take no responsibility for and that's for a device that's only slightly out of warranty.
Go with Android and make the smarter choice.
Although, I did have an issue with an iPhone which was 3 weeks out of warranty. Was on Holiday in Florida, took it in to the store and they swapped it straight away.
You would pay approx £20 a month for the sim only version of this deal. (£480 over 2 years)
Leaving £339 towards the phone. The phone would still be worth about £300 after 24 months, so true cost of about £39 for the phone...
- £619 (Current phone cost)
= £200
£200 / 24 = £8.33 per month
So, looks like it's on it's way! I have been declined a CPW contract previously, but it seems that this company like me.
Same point to those who say Cold cause its an iphone or they don't like the colour or don't like to order on a Tuesday.... Too many folk don't get how this site is supposed to work!!!
Rant Over!!!!!!
"We are pleased to confirm that your order has been successfully processed and will be dispatched shortly from our logistics centre."
I love Android so I wouldn't switch, but this is a cracking deal.
Why is everyone getting the maths so badly wrong? The £819 includes your monthly bill for two years. People saying you can buy a £200 Android phone...you can, but you still have to pay monthly bills. Let's say £15 a month for a comparable contract - £200 + (£15 x 24) = £560. You'll need to make it nearer £300 to get a comparable phone as well, so let's say £650 for a comparable deal. Not a great deal of difference.
It's £10 on O2 I think
How is it nearly a grand for the phone?
You would pay approx £20 a month for the sim only version of this deal. (£480 over 2 years)
Leaving £339 towards the phone. The phone would still be worth about £300 after 24 months, so true cost of about £39 for the phone...
You cannot find it cheaper anywhere else.
Therefore it is hot.
Right?
They will text you and email you in the morning to let you know its coming, then when it's loaded to the drivers van, and they will give you a 1h window when they will deliver it.
I know Three don't lock their handsets but that's only if you buy the handset from Three.
If you buy phone from Apple for £619, you can get this:
EE - 12 mo contract - Unlim mins/text + 4GB data for £19.99/mo + £144 cashback (redemption) so £7.99/mo
£619 + 95.88 (7.99 x 12) = 714.88
Sell phone after 12 months, value will be more then 24 mo. By then you can probably get cheap SIM only plans if you keep phone
Cheaper by £10 for 2 overs with same plan
Also as mentioned earlier if you've got an old handset to shift going through the Mazuma link for the additional £50 voucher can help make a great deal even better!
http://www.mazumamobile.com/mobilescouk-bonus.php
In a few years we will laugh at the fact we were limited to how much internet we could use a month.
Nothing wrong with my credit status and probably means they ran out.
Anyone else had such email?
"Dear Mr --------,
Thank you for your order with us.
Unfortunately your order has been declined by the network after being credit checked. This means we are not able to proceed with your most recent order. The reason for the decline is not shared with us but we do have other options available for you today."
Very strange?
I use my 4g data all the time for streaming Spotify. Can't keep connecting to wifi when I'm on public transport or driving. Luckily I have unlimited with Three - main reason I won't change my contract, I don't think they even offer unlimited any more.
Value of 6s in a year? At least 350
In 2 years? 250?
You said if something was the cheapest price around then it must be a hot deal.
You get a lot of deals here for cheap tat. It's still tat, so I'll vote it cold. I don't care if it's a cheap novelty t shirt, a free mug or a picture of me for £500. It's still tat, so I'd vote cold. Other people might vote hot. I don't blame them, I am really really ridiculously good looking, but I see me in the mirror every day so I don't need the photo.
Anyway, I digress. Cheapest available doesn't necessarily mean hot.

This page might offer some advice on how to vote http://www.hotukdeals.com/help though you have been around long enough you probably won't change now :smiley:
Port it to Giffgaff then back to O2
I come here to find deals, not opinion's on which thing is better, I can make my own mind up!
It is bizarre though as over here in Swansea Three and EE are vastly superior to O2. Outside of the city centre you'll only ever get GPRS from O2 but full 3G from both EE and Three. From personal experience however I have found O2 to be better than EE in Cardiff. EE's quite congested there.
Can you see it?
I'm an Android user and previous G3 owner btw!
And I never said it was £200 vs £800.
Loads of sim only offers out there, e.g Virgin media sim only unlimited is £15 per month, plus most of the time you can get cashback of £50 or around there with ease. Not that anyone needs unlimited, plenty of other providers have 3gb offers etc for much less.
And to address the other guy, I don't care what anyone does with their money, but when there's suitable alternatives for less than half the price I thought it might be worth sharing.
Anyhow off topic and good deal thanks OP had been looking for an iPhone deal for my niece.
From an android fan boy! Why did I even say that, except don't tar us all with the same brush, people have the need and choice of differ OS's for own reasons.
http://www.o2.co.uk/help/phones-and-devices/unlocking-your-iphone-and-using-it-on-another-network
Its easier to find once you sort O2 and select handset price £100-200 from the left hand side menu.
Requirements or not, data is still ridiculously overpriced.
Good deal for others though!
no thanks
"The HUKD temperature gauge (the little red and blue arrow next to each deal) is used by members to show their opinion on the deals, competitions, vouchers and freebies on HUKD. Members vote "hot" for those offers that seem pretty special. Enough hot votes and the deal will go front page."
Maybe you should have a read through too.
'Vote hot for offers that seem pretty special'
Doesn't actually say anything about price. In fact, 'seems pretty special' actually implies that it's subjective. An opinion. Not just a grade based on price.
There's nothing special about tat, regardless of the price. And a bad product at a good price is doesn't make it a special deal.
This deal looks good to me. Enough minutes, texts and data for most (me included). Good price for a good product. Nothing staggering about it but worth an upvote.
When someone posts a £50 'full suspension' Tesco bike then I tend to vote cold. Great price, lousy product.
Anyone else having this issue?
It doesn't matter how many times I use my card.
New phone should arrive tomorrow, great deal!
What will I go with my EE retention sim unlimited min unlimited texts and 3gb data
Is there anyway I can unlock this phone to use my EE sim
I was hoping it is a server issue as the message isn't saying that the card is declined.
oneplus one is so much better than this phone..
Really you are talking about 50p per month for 1 year. unless the RPI drastically goes up.

Given how cold iPhone deals usually go on here, even with the Android fanboy comments littering the thread j think it shows what a deal it is, you can't get the 6 64GB on this kind of tariff let alone the 6S.
Don't see it being matched again in the near future, I'm giving up a 30% EE discount at next renewal in favour of this.
We have been unable to process your order today. We are working on this as a high priority and will contact you again to confirm if your order is successful together with full delivery tracking information, so there is no need to contact us.
just before 7PM
Log in to your account then send a message via the contact us section - it's under the help desk heading.
I'm going to call them up tomorrow morning to cancel over phone but my dispatch was for next tues so i was lucky i guess.
could have done without this but glad others commented about the voucher.
iPhones battery are not normally great but that's because most people don't go through the setting and switch off the pointless things that you don't use but does drain batteries
After this order, once you get a new number, you need to call O2 with your PAC code. You can get the PAC code from calling the cancellations department of the old network. O2 will then do the rest. Hope that helps.
Ordered this deal for my wife last night as she was looking for an upgrade and this was by far the best iPhone 6S deal that I have seen, and worked out over £150 cheaper over 2 years than her buying the phone direct from Apple and staying on her current SIM only deal (which admittedly was not the best and was costing her £5 too much per month, but she didn't want to move). And that is before taking the extra £50 from Mazuma into account which will save me the hassle of eBay and will also likely lead to her getting at least £30 more for her old iPhone 4S.
As to those complaining about 3GB of data, I have a 2GB allowance on my work contract phone and have only exceeded it once in the last 2 years, which is when our home broadband was down for a few days and I was tethering while working from home. My wife has a 1GB allowance and has never gone over it to my knowledge. Not everyone needs GBs and GBs of data for their usage, so 3GB is more than enough for probably the vast majority of the population.
Less than 24h turn around, now just need to wait for the Sim..
Hmmm might not now :disappointed:
:neutral_face:
A 64GB iPhone 6s is £619.00. The lifetime of this contract is £819. So the contact by itself is £200 for two years of unlimited calls and texts, and 3GB of data - that's £8.33 a month. I'm struggling to find a similar deal SIM-only, the cheapest I can find is £14.99 a month through The People's Operator.
Get a perspective....
Incredible....
As I have a (business) virtual landline with o2 that diverts 200 mins of incoming calls to any o2 mobile per month for only £7.20, it fits nicely. Previously I had to have an extra phone with an o2 payg sim in it!
By the way, I was given the choice of any colour, so mine's grey (gray).
My daughter got 6S 64gb last month from CPW with 6gb data. She is paying £35pm with an upfront cost of £130. However, as the carrier is Vodafone the monthly amount stays the same across the term of the contract.
I'm moving from EE to o2 and have my code ready.
I believe that you have to ring them within 24 hrs or so of using the new phone & sim.
Cancel and re-order might be the way forward?
Or ring them and see if there's an alternative to you using this option(?).
3gb of data is hardly enough
:laughing:
Is your life that dull you're picking fault with something you're not interested in anyway?
--
Mine's just been delivered, quick turnaround. Sorry to hear others have had issues.
It's in the box and I can cope with waiting for the case/screen protector to arrive in the post before opening it.
Oh no advice please, i was getting excited being free from apple, but this is like fate hehe
You simply can't beat this deal, even if you bought the phone separately and tried to find a SIM only deal.
It wouldn't be for me, but for a lot of people it is fine.
You aren't voting on if you like iPhones or not, you're voting on if the deal is good or not.
You're voting on if this is a good deal, not if you like Apple products or not. It is a good deal because you simply can't buy an iPhone 6s 64GB and a SIM only deal cheaper than this.
Cancelled the upgrade today and I'm sending phone back to EE & ordered this deal instead through Mazuma!!! HAVE I MADE THE RIGHT CHOICE???!!! comments would be much appreciated! :smile:
The contract is still through mobiles.co.UK regardless its just that if you do it through mazuma's site they get commission and they give you a voucher.
EE is getting worse, probably soon on par with Vodafone customer service. If you get lucky with half decent rep then you'd be ok.
Barely get 3G signal (and often no service) in a major city indoors on EE whilst Vodafone/3/O2 all manage it well somehow.
Next put the O2 SIM and it worked OK too. :innocent:
Next went through activation process with O2 SIM and now phone is locked to O2 so be careful.
Told them I ordered direct yesterday but have just seen the Mazuma deal. and asked if they could do anything for me, or even cancel the order and i'd take it out again this time via Mazuma.
The girl popped me on hold for 2mins, came back and said she is having a cheque for £50 posted to me.
Bonus, as I recon i'll get more than £105 for my 32gb iphone 5 anyway.
I hope that they do send you it but different to what I've been told.
They are sending me £50 from mobiles.co.uk as that's the same as what I would have gained by going through Mazuma, I now will receive £50 and don't have to trade my phone it.
I actually went to the apple store to get on finance last week but walked out empty handed after deciding to have a think, this deal works great for me. I am already on o2 and have rang them and getting my number swapped to my ususa one. Came from a iPhone 5 which I will hand down to someone in the family, only had 500mb and was paying 27 a month!
very happy, thanks hotduk

Add extra UK data for browsing, emailing and downloading
One-off 500MB UK Data (£6.00 one-off)
One-off 1GB UK Data (£9.00 one-off)
One-off 2GB UK Data (£13.00 one-off)
Would be very cruel to get people locked on the worst network 3.
I don't know what would have happened if I had kept the Three SIM in the phone but suspect it would have either locked to Three or as part of the Three activation would have unlocked the phone completely.
We need someone to follow this through and report back but obviously only if you could handle the phone locking to Three.
Anyone?
Hello Jason
We're really pleased you're with us. You've got stacks of goodies coming your way. So first things first, don't forget to check out your account at My O2. Your username is xxxxxxxxxx and if you've forgotten your password, Reset it here
Cheers for posting the deal herby
now how to shift my number from one O2 account to another :wink:
Excellent deal. Thanks OP. Glad I was off work yesterday to see this and take immediate advantage.
Disappointed with myself for not doing this via mazuma though as £50 extra for an iphone 4 would have been a great deal. Phone out of its box and plastic now so can't cancel (nor do I want to go through the hassle of returning anyway)
tell them you have since spotted the mazuma deal, and you're thinking of returning the phone you have now, and taking the deal out again via the mazuma link. They more than likely will then tell you to keep the phone you received today, and will post you a £50 cheque.
That's what they did for me and a couple of others
Has anyone got any real life experience of this on the 6s?
"If you're a Pay Monthly customer, then you can unlock your iPhone at any time, for free. This doesn't affect your contract though – you'll still need to see out the rest of it. This policy may vary depending on your phone and tariff."
You might be right. Who knows yet?
I have bought this deal and have spoken to o2 chat online. You can upgrade to 5gb data a month for £3 more per month so £34. I think this is a pretty good deal. Also 10gb for £39.
I now feel terrible.
Do NOT attempt to use a Three SIM to unlock the device.
I'm tempted by this, but keeping my number is essential. I guess there could be better deals come Feb.
How to check whether your new iPhone 6s / 6s Plus comes with Samsung or TSMC-made Apple A9

Just noticed that GOLD has now sold out.
Probably to do with the 'GET DEAL' link takes you to the Gold phone only.
If you then change the colour option another tariff comes up. So useless.
If you'd like this in another colour here are the links...

Already a few locked devices showing.

Once upgraded, you can downgrade back down to your base tariff of 3gb whenever you like if you change your mind.
Great deal

Anyone have a solution?
Oh and it isn't running in a virtual machine either. Android itself is core code no different the the Linux platform its based on. The difference between Apple and Android devices is the code has to be kept wide and broad as it has to run across many differing hardware solutions and therefore it isn't possible to optimise it without losing the ability to support many differences (which officially Google has done in the past, The change from Gingerbread to Jellybean saw many devices lose official support, Marshmallow looks like it might be the start of other devices that will require wholesale modding of Android versions to continue to be running on it. Manufacturers have to tweak code given by Google for their devices in order for them to run smoothly, its exactly the same as the guys and girls on XDA are doing with the source code on whatever they are modding!
Your stupidity really is quite something isn't it....
https://sites.google.com/site/io/dalvik-vm-internals
Dalvik is so people can write apps easily to run on Android, it is nothing to do with the OS code the same as Java on a Windows PC has nothing to do Windows OS...
So the 3 sim trick is a no no
Just saying, it may not lock.
They use DPD for their deliveries and they tell you which day it's gonna be delivered on and then, on the day itself, they send you a text or email to confirm the time within 60 mins.
Dalvik and Art are for simple coding instruction exactly the same as HTML and Java are that running top of the source code, Android is not running in a VM its the OS, if it wasn't don't you think someone might be a bit pee'd off that all these phones and gadgets are available running off the back of someone else's and they weren't getting paid for it?
Android is a version of Linux, pure and simple and that's it - end of!

Also it completely misses the boat, the reason for lots of ram = lots of apps running together, you know actual multitasking not the freezing of apps that have been moved to the background. That's the way how Apple keeps up performance, it shuts down background operations whereas Android only does once it's memory is full or the task is manually killed.
I'd quit now fella, you're just making yourself look even more stupid....
Now imagine if you could do away completely with needing to use a PC to back up and restore too....
It's folk like you that do Apple owners no favours fella.
As for customer service, other than with Samsung I've never had an issue with any other suppliers customer service and oddly enough it seems Apple devices can't be very reliable seeing as people are forever saying how great it is whenever they have had a problem - personally I prefer it when my electronics simply don't break....

The deal works out at £819. For me its a good deal even if i tried to get same with 3 they are charging £44 a month and 100 upfront. A saving of £420 is good in the long run.
