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.

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!

Hot. Shame about it being on O2, virtually useless out in rural Lincolnshire. If it were three I'd be all over it.
Opening post
iPhone 6S 64GB | O2 4G | £100 Off Using Black Friday Code BLACKNOV15 | Unlimited calls and texts | 3GB data | £31 P/Month
£175 for handset, using £100 off code brings the handset cost down to £75 upfront, + 24 months x£31 = £819.
Please be aware that Apple handsets will lock to the network of the first SIM card that's inserted into them.

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?

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:
http://www.o2.co.uk/help/phones-and-devices/unlocking-your-iphone-and-using-it-on-another-network
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.

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)

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!
