Great deal

Did anyone unlock theirs yet I'm tired always getting message they are not unlocking IPhone 6s and 6s plus right now HELP PLEASE???!!!!!
Anyone know if I can just insert an EE sim and happily use that (want to give the phone to my fiance and let her use her EE sim in it?)
But seeing as it would be useful to have the phone unlocked once her contract expires in 6 month, can I unlock the phone via EE or are they just as difficult as O2 when it comes to unlocking the 6S?

As the phone was locked to o2,I put my wife's pay monthly o2 sim in it,filled up the online form again but with her details-name,number,security question,etc and just let her use the phone for few days,until today when the unlock was confirmed.You will need some close friend or relative with o2 pay monthly account.You can lend him your iphone and he will use it with his sim for few days( o2 can see which model phone you are using ). As soon he puts his sim in your phone,he can request unlock from his account and with his details.
It took 4 days before o2 get back to us.Hope this will work for you.

After been refused twice by o2 for unlocking my phone, on Tuesday I put my wife's sim in it ( she got o2 pay monthly account ) and requested unlock from her account.I left her sim in the phone ,so she was using it for few days.Today she got email that unlatching request is completed.So they do unlock Iphone 6s ,could be for certain accounts or just pot luck. Btw she's still on o2 refresh,hand set paid off but didn't upgrade yet.
You can ask some close relative,who's on o2 to try do this for you,could be working for you as well.

They said there are no scratches or marks on lens but when taking picture of white background there is a mark on image. Will ask them to return it, have it assessed for free at Apple and then sell somewhere else or keep, as £70 is just a pittance. Have taken thousands of pictures and no issues. They say they can send image with the dark mark to me but I'm still not convinced. Apple will assess for free so will see what their view is

I'd forgotten what a pain it is restoring old settings from iCloud. Old iPhone is on iOS 9.1, new phone comes shipped with iOS 9.0 so you can't restore old settings during setup. Have to set up as a new iPhone, then update the software to 9.1, then erase all content and settings then setup iPhone again - this time you can restore from last iCloud backup.

My phone actually came with 9.1 so I didn't have to mess about after all. :smiley:
Also you get your first bill as when you activate the phone not when you order it. So I imagine you could hold off for some time if you wanted.

Haven't tried this :wink:. But from what I read on the amazon reviews it seems to be the case.
One thing to take into account, a lot of people complaining it doesn't cover the whole screen. The thing is, this are hard covers, and since there is a bevel on iphone 6s the cover can't reach the edges. It's fine, nothing to worry about!

Can anyone recommend a decent screen protector for the 6S?
I have to say it's the best ones I have ever seen, it was very easy to fit, no air bubbles, it also fits perfectly and feels like a premium product that will do the job in case the phone does get dropped.
I also bought this case from them, also very well made and I though good value considering some of the crap you see around. Well worth the investment as I want to keep the phone looking good for a long while to come.
Just to update, if you are locked to 3 and want to get it unlocked make sure you escalate, i had to make it a complaint, the girl who helped me was lovely and sorted it out within 24hrs. I have no idea why the first line of support is lying and saying they cant do it as they can and have. Be firm and be nice. I will use with three when abroad anyway, but i want to have the choice.

The Vodafone deal is better than this one I have used the sim and I wanted to return it would that be possible I want the Vodafone contract now it's going to save me £100 over 2 years. I have send the unlock form 3 times and all of them came with a email saying they don't unlock iPhone 6s what shall I do send the form again? I called mobile.com and told them about the mazuma £50 code and they said they will send me a cheque did everyone receive their cheques already I'm still waiting it's been over 1 week. Thanks good luck to everyone with unlatching
Bossworld to argosextra
18 Nov 15#1650
Once the SIM has been used that's deemed as acceptance of the contract so you can't return it.
With the added initial £25 outlay, the Voda deal only works out £4 cheaper a month, for horrendously bad customer service and a gig less data.
If the mazurka cheque comes off (was advised up to 8 weeks), then the Voda deal only works out £2 cheaper a month, and for a gold phone only. Balls to that.
Mine was unlocked within an hour of submitting the form but it genuinely appears to be pot luck.
Only slightly annoying thing for me is that it appears this offer isn't as rare as I thought it would be, though only mobiles.co.uk seem to be able to offer this price point.

Has anyone else had issues with Mazuma? They have offered me a faulty price with the following reasoning "Defective LCD screen. White mark in display. Mostly visible on white background. New LCD screen required." I called them up and said a white mark on a white display didn't even make sense. They said on a special machine it showed a faulty pixel which is possibly not normally visible? Strangely they offered me a price £50 less. Seems like they are worming their way out of the £50 extra code.

Would you 'recommend' using this procedure/method to unlock an iPhone purchased through this deal?
No, before activating the phone and locking it to any network, call up O2 (202) and explain you need to have your phone unlocked as you are travelling for xmas. If they aren't helpful (which would be contrary to their site literally stating "unlock your iPhone at any time, for free"), then you can try locking it to Three and follow my steps. But if too many people do this, mileage may vary...
Did you get any push back from Three?
No - it shouldn't be legal for a network to have their SIM automatically lock a phone not bought from them in the first place! Contrary to a lot of the posts, Three were quite friendly - if you are polite and friendly, people tend to reciprocate.

Thanks for posting these instructions. Would you 'recommend' using this procedure/method to unlock an iPhone purchased through this deal? O2 probably won't unlock the iPhone 6s/6s Plus for 6 months after its release. Did you get any push back from Three? Did they ask you any questions about where you got the iPhone from?
wasabimaster
18 Nov 155#1636
Thought I'd update this for those who fell for the "use a 3 SIM" scam, my phone is now unlocked to all networks.
Here's what you need to do:
1. Take out the O2 SIM, you might need to put in the Three SIM to get rid of the annoying Activation Failed message, and try the iTunes update following the instructions under the heading (it'll be a 2GB download to iOS 9.1): Updating your device under iTunes
2. After your phone restarts, try putting the O2 SIM in and hope it activates, if not, no sweat, continue on
3. Write down your IMEI number - it should also be on your receipt from Mobiles.co.uk
4. Call Three support on 333 from your Three SIM, don't bother entering your IMEI number, talk to a Support Technician, explain the phone is locked to Three and you've tried an iTunes update (they will insist you do it if you haven't).
5. Ask him to escalate it to the "Network Team" to unlock the IMEI
6. Take the Technician's name and ask for this call's reference number, it'll save you time if you have to follow up
7. You'll get a text message from Three in 2 days saying, "We've now processed your unlock request. To finish unlocking, just insert a working, non-Three SIM and connect your device to iTunes. Thanks"
8. PM me if I've missed something so I can update this post to help others
9. Reluctantly hand over the new, shiny i6S to wife as originally intended :neutral_face:
Enjoy :-)

You're not the only one. I've been following this thread since the start and considering it. Firstly they pulled both codes so you could only do one and then grey OOS. I'm sure something else will come along and it wasn't meant to be.
Rang them up this morning after receiving the email saying the silver one I ordered was OOS, asked if I could change it for the space grey one as that came back in stock and they did. Very happy now as that's the one I originally wanted :smiley:

I placed my order at lunch time today for gold , as I've changed my surname as married I wasn't sure if my credit check thingy would be ok. Husband came home at 5.30 and said he wanted one, tried the code didn't work so I phoned. Mine had all gone through and I now this evening have email for delivery tomorrow so gold was in stock this afternoon. (I hadn't seen the link on first page to other colours) I asked about code for husband and they said they stopped it at 4.50 so he just missed out. I've been playing with the link on techrader on the first page to see what else I can find for husband based on same spec as this and it does through up links to mobiles site with differnt colours showing in stock (but obviously not with a code) but a £75 up front instead and a few pounds more a month , as I've ordered I get a £25 referral payment if he now orders , so looking to see if we can make a nearly good deal for him lol (I'm smug faced with a new phone coming)

17 Nov 15#1600
I'm sorry to hear this. I updated the original post to alert people that the trick no longer works.
It is probably best to keep on to Three via social media about this and nag them to unlock it for you. I say social media because their customer services team will probably fob you off stating that your iPhone is already unlocked, when it isn't. Their social media team are more likely to escalate it. I'm currently helping my mate try to get his unlocked from Three and am awaiting a response from their social media team. I feel terrible for suggesting this as it clearly no longer works - but the trick did in fact work perfectly on my iPhone 6 I got six months ago.

Ooh, sorry for that then, Maybe it depends who you get on the other side of the phone. I didn't mention how other people had managed to get one located.

I don't know it's been a few years since I last ported a number. It's still my old number, not a new one.
I couldn't get the form to send on Friday so phoned o2 customer services and gave them the PAC code- they initially said it would be transferred on Monday but it got delayed until today, I expect they are very busy thanks to this deal!

Isn't this normal? The old phone will now have been issued with a different number by EE/Orange.

For anyone else talking with Three retention teams about moving from them, the best I could get them down to after being on the phone for an hour going back and forth was:
Unlocked iPhone 6S 64GB
No upfront cost
24 month manufacturers warranty (possibly AppleCare+?)
2GB data (tetherable)
unlimited minutes / unlimited texts
£36 per month
=£864 TCO
Obviously you get Feel At Home etc. It sounded like they might be working on a deal for Black Friday (there's a banner on the Three.co.uk website) but they were understandably tight lipped about this.
Topper1900 to kimralphio

He said to wait until Black Friday deals but they are not going to release them to existing customers any earlier. I am within the last 30 days of my contract too. I like the 3 package as I will need feel at home from next month when I travel.

You only get sent a code if you purchase through mazuma.mobiles.co.uk. But if you purchase there you cant use the BLACKNOV15 code to get £100 off the price because they removed the box to put it in. So you cant get both.
dawn1e
17 Nov 15#1574
"Yeah but the whole point is that you cant use the Mazuma offer with the £100 off anymore because they removed the place where you put the voucher code"
Am I wrong here - You get sent the code after you have purchased the new phone, and input the code on Mazuma when you are selling your old mobile to get an extra £50 for it?

Force Touch like a right-click on mouse allowing Peek and Pop (try it on the camera app)
Live Photos (if you like that kind of thing)

I won't gripe about an extra £50 over two years - it's the 2GB data that kills it for me as I'm in the 2-3GB band per month at the moment! Went with the Mobiles.co.uk deal instead - hoping Three don't pull out all the stops on Black Friday otherwise I won't be impressed with myself! :smiley:

Lets say i get the phone these days, 12 months down the line (when 7 comes out) i sell the phone and buy out the remaining of my contract which will be around (31x12). That would be in order to get a new deal for the Iphone7. I will be able to do that right?
DJNG22 to wyclef77
17 Nov 15#1541
You should not have to pay that much, in your account page under 'upgrade options' it will tell you the figure you need to pay in order to fast track an upgrade today, Mine is at £510 (I am on the £34ppm 5GB contract) Yours should be £465 but in 12 months time I would expect it to be approx half that. So my guess is around the £230 mark.
DJNG22
17 Nov 15#1540
I got 3 emails upon completion, 2 at the same time from O2 one saying 'we want to say hi', then one giving me my username, then 8 minutes later I got one from mobiles.co.uk saying "the order has been successfully processed and will be despatched shortly" it was this email that contained the code, I presume it is this one you still not had as yet?
More importantly, I think, is a good screen protector. This one was recommended by a friend with a 6-plus. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00MGE1WYG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Its pretty easy to put on, no bubbles or anything... The point is to buy a "glass 9H" one. He dropped his phone & thought he has smashed the screen. Turned out the protector has smashed but the screen was intact so definitely worth the investment.

Ordered and received my rose gold today, thanks OP. Not setting it up until I have a good case though!
Does anyone know when the first £31 bill payment goes out? Got an email this morning from O2 before I'd even got the phone saying the bill was ready but no date on when!

A month from when the SIM is active I think so mid dec, you'll find out when you get your SIM card since direct debit cannot be activated instantly and takes 2 weeks itself to show up on your banking and payment allowed to be taken from.

And for anyone new to Apple, or moving from an older iphone like I am, Apple have reduced the cost of icloud storage so I just signed up with their 50gb option at just 79p per month.
This way I can back everything up from my iphone4 and when the 6s arrives tomorrow I can restore it all to the new phone, saves messing with iTunes!!

Note if your old phone is on iOS 9.1 you will have to update the 6S to the same software (ships with9.0)before you can restore your settings and apps from iCloud backup.

£819 is 24 month total, your £799 is for 12 months. Back to nursery m8
£979 for 24 months with your "amazing" Giffgaff deal. Oh don't forget the rate limited 4g speeds which are really less than what 3g gets you! You also got big headed useless forum support who wraith you on any bad things about them and not to mention the quality of the network as it randomly drops. o2 clearly downgraded giffgaff brand for low quality users.

Ive just had a lengthy conversation with Three as I rang for my PAC code. The guy went on about how the monthly price will jump in a few months. I wasn't sure if he was scaremonging or its possible.
Looking at 02's t&cs they only mention:
1. Charges/Price increases – Each year your Monthly Subscription Charges will be subject to an annual adjustment by the RPI Rate. RPI (or Retail Price Index) is a measure of inflation published by the Office of National Statistics. It measures the change in the cost of a sample of retail goods and services. This adjustment could be an increase or a decrease and the adjusted amount will first appear on your April bill
Any thoughts?
kiish to netboy
16 Nov 152#1469
As mentioned 929831237 times every provider is saying this because they can't beat this amazing deal. The price may go up with inflation which at the moment is <£0-1/year but it isn't just o2 who do this.
dromi
16 Nov 151#1467
its because you've gone through the mazuma site, which will not allow you to put the code. essentially you can't have both discounts so go via the mobile.co.uk site directly...
MrBoombastic
16 Nov 15#1466
At what stage do you put the discount code in? I've come on the card payment details page but no option to enter voucher ?
DJNG22
16 Nov 15#1465
I did think about it but it would effectively save me £1.20 a month, but I have to shell out £619 upfront.
I thought about paying up the refresh charge of £465 which would immediately release me from the contract also but again don't really want to part with £500 upfront.

I was with Three on a SIM only deal, told them about the iPhone deal as I rang up to cancel and she told me they couldn't match it, they did offer to reduce my £15pm 200 Mins, Unltd Texts and AYCE data contract to just £8pm though.
Any other time I'd have jumped on it. Have increased my new o2 contract to 5Gb per month for an extra £3 effective at midnight however as I use between 4-5GB per month, still a cracking deal.
kimralphio to DJNG22
16 Nov 151#1463
That's a great deal! What about going with the £8 pm SIM only deal and buying the handset through Apple for £619?

I've just had a lengthy conversation with three when I asked for my PAC code. The was saying the monthly price will jump up to £40+ in a couple of months, he said they can change it as per the t&cs. Anyone think he was scaremongering or can they do that?
kiish to netboy
16 Nov 15#1458
Scaremongering. In any case they do that you get to keep the phone and contract can be cancelled so you can move away.
Max allowed is the inflation rate yearly.
FocusST to netboy
16 Nov 15#1459
They just put it up annually in line with inflation so it's never much.
I took my current contract out with O2 in 2011 and it was £20 a month, it is now £21.42 so you can see it doesn't jump much each year. And you can change it every 2 years to a new tariff if you keep the phone which normally reduces it anyway.
I've not had any problems with O2 in the long time I;ve been with them (since the first iPhone!)
HalfNHalf
16 Nov 15#1447
Fantastic deal, snapped this up but haven't had my Mazuma voucher through the emails yet...will try getting on to them to chase it up.
Also - this deal is getting VERY well known now, so if you don't want to switch to O2 give your network a call - guarantee they'll know about this deal now. When I called up Three to cancel my rolling SIM-only contract (that I've probably only had for 4-5 months) they were more than happy to offer me the exact same deal - in fact they mentioned mobiles.co.uk before I'd even mentioned where I'd got the deal. I'd already ordered the new one though and fancied switching to O2 so I declined but interesting to see that it's spread like wildfire already.
kimralphio to HalfNHalf
16 Nov 15#1453
I'm going to talk to Three now! Yesterday when I rang up to find out how much it would be to cancel my contract the best they could offer was an iPhone 6S 64GB, no upfront cost, 2GB data, unlimited texts & minutes for £37 per month.
BeeUK to HalfNHalf
16 Nov 15#1456
What number and options did you go through to at Three to ask about this? Was it the cancel contract option? Just tried to add an extra contract to my sim only plan (for the Mrs) and there was no budging from the standard prices.

I jumped on this deal straight away last week and got the 6s 64gb gold version. Cracking deal. Delivery was very quick. I previously had a 5s on an existing O2 contract, but will be transferring over my existing number to my new contract. Got £130 for 5s, so that easily covered the £75 one-off cost for the new phone, plus the extra cost to buy out of my current contract.
Result - brand new phone, better spec than 5s, cheaper monthly tariff and more data allowance than previous contract.

Bossworld to argosextra

Seems like pot luck, though I had merged the auto created O2 account with an old inactive one from 2010.
I bought a Spigen capsule for about £8, and a tempered glass screen protector for 99p off eBay (which has chipped already! Never had an issue with the cheap iPhone 5 ones but I suspect it's because this one is more exposed, as it doesn't cover edge to edge.)
Seems OK to me so far...

Hopefully Curteh will explain because I have no idea EXACTLY how this worked but I ordered yesterday afternoon through the mobiles.co.uk site and still got my Mazuma voucher emailed shortly after.
I ordered on iPad through Safari, I went through the Mazuma site first looking where to put the code in (all the way up to payment of phone page stage), I then realised the code should be on the first page so without closing that tab I followed the link in this deal added the £100 off code and completed right through, and after completion I got an email from Mazuma with my £50 off code?
I have no actual idea what I did to enable both offers (no hate) but it worked.

There's still a way to process both deals. Will post the method tomorrow when I finish work, basically you can still apply the £100 off voucher code and still have mazuma give you the £50 bonus discount for your old phone.

Depends on what you prefer.
If a larger screen, microSD card slot, better battery life, higher resolution camera and water resistance is important to you then get the Z5.
If you prefer the way iOS works, access to better quality apps, faster updates, better customer support, and a higher residual value after two years then the 6s is for you.

£619 for the 6s 64 GB on the Apple website. So you are getting the airtime for the equivalent of around £8.35 a month which is rather good deal indeed. I'd say this is almost as good as the IDMobile glitch deal last month.
Ordered a silver one last night, wanted a plus but having tested them out this weekend the plus is very big with a case on and I think it would have started to annoy me quickly. This deal is only £9 a month more than my iphone 4 contract with only 1gb of data so very good for me as the iphone4 is slowing down a lot!!
For anyone else already on an O2 contract, which number do you phone for customer services to swap my number over? Contract ended in 2013 so I just need to swap my number to the new phone which I am hoping they can do. :smiley:
usenetz
16 Nov 15#1422
Frustratingly for those still seeking an unlock for their iPhones it does appear to be pot-luck at the moment.
As best I can deduce the official O2 policy is to not unlock new iPhones for the first six months following release of that generation handset then they will happily unlock via Customer Services or their online form although some here, including myself, have been able to get their iPhone 6S bought via this deal unlocked.

Make sure you enter the date of your last (first in this case) bill. Click on 'your latest bill' tab on the my O2 app, and you can see the date for 'you were billed on:...'
In my case it was the 13 nov 15.
31 for the cost of the bill. I couldn't provide those memorable letters/numbers so I choose 'I don't know my password'
Then I entered 'unlimited minutes and text, 3gb data' in the plan description.

The SIM was already activated when I received it however, yes, I did use the O2 SIM to complete the Apple Activation Process on the iPhone and have been using the SIM since I received it.
However on a previous occasion I ordered an iPhone 5S from O2 and unlocked it via the online form without ever taking the O2 SIM out of its packaging. I also cancelled that O2 contract (it was Refresh) and so the SIM was never used.
So I wouldn't worry too much about the O2 SIM at this stage so long as all the details you enter on the online form are correct you should be okay.

Thanks for letting us know as while some might be embarrassed to admit that here its better to know because it could help others. If I were you I would now submit an unlocking request via O2 using their online form.
Yes I completed the online form and my iPhone is now 'unlatched' :stuck_out_tongue: from O2. Just wait a few days because if you have submitted multiple unlocking requests then so long as one contained all the relevant and valid details then you should hear from O2 shortly that your iPhone is unlocked. Meanwhile try putting a different network SIM into your iPhone and see if the unlock has gone through; don't worry about connecting to iTunes as I didn't need to do that - just swap the SIM. Good luck! :smirk:

Thx for the info. I clicked on the don't know the password link and it directed to the next page where i was asked to fill in my billing details.Submitted the form and received an email stating unlock request rejected as multiple requests.
Did you manage to unlock?

should be inserting not indexing
butch83
15 Nov 15#1347
after submitting you get a txt saying nearly there finish off by indexing a non o2 sim and connect to iTunes. If you don't get this txt it could be security incorrect message.
Then swap out sim start up connect to iTunes enter iTunes user/pass and phone connect to operator you have inserted. Made test call all OK.
I then switched back to the o2 sim test call again all fine.

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
Great job guys..
This deal is via mobiles.co.uk. If I wish to upgrade it to 10 gb internet from the beginning, how can I make sure of this?
Thanks

You're the mug as I'm not paying £600 for an iphone, it's £31 x 24 for a contract that includes an iphone 6s. Take the £150 from Mazuma off if credited to the account works out £27.87/month for the CONTRACT with an iphone to boot.

What was it you did after sending the unlock form can you tell me how to do this thanks
argosextra
14 Nov 15#1340
I filled the unlock form online I got a reply from O2
Thanks for your email but we have now shut down our email support service WTF
What happens now do I call them or just leave it help me not sure if this is normal did anyone else receive a email after sending the unlock form thanks waiting for your reply
usenetz
14 Nov 15#1339
Read the email again carefully as I suspect you got the same as my first attempt:
"I'm sorry, we have not been able to unlatch your device at this time.
The reason given is:
Sorry, you?ve not passed our security checks with the detail you gave
us. Please check you?ve provided the correct information and then resend
the form."
What that refers to is when you are asked to enter certain characters from the security password you use when you contact O2 customer service, not the one to sign into their website.
If you don't know the password then I suggest you contact O2 customer service on 202 from your new O2 SIM and ask them to help you with the password then resend the online form.

14 Nov 15#1335
Got a text from o2 today saying my number porting has been delayed from Monday to Tuesday, (gave them my PAC code Friday morning). Slightly annoying as I can't sell my old phone to Mazuma as I'm still using it until the old number goes onto my new phone!

Tied to my contract until March don't know whether to just pay it off!! £100 worth it? Dont know if it will save me money in the long run. Also is it true that the prices of the contract can increase rapidly or not? (Other people said this on the thread somewhere)

Once this deal has gone I can't personally it being repeated, I just called EE for an upgrade and they quoted £49.99 per month for the same phone/data, so asked for my PAC code!

I was speaking to my brother today, (not a subscriber to HotUKdeals) and he told me of this deal. He ordered a phone on Tuesday and received it on Thursday. So it's 100% genuine, just a matter of how long will it last??? I'm out of contract in the first week of December. On the back of that, I've just ordered one for myself. My Mrs is buying it as my birthday present and putting the contract inher name. Win Win!

I can also confirm O2 will unlock your new iPhone 6s. Used the online unlock form, making sure you put correct details for your phone ie Apple iPhone 6s, got text message 5 mins later telling me to use non O2 sim and iTunes. 3 sim goes back in, unlocked, O2 sim in again....boom! :sunglasses:

14 days unopened.
Using Mazuma? You can't use both £50 Mazuma + £100 off iPhone, this was a error and they fixed it. So you need to choose between the two. For £100 off you go directly from mobiles.co.uk
Why wouldn't you? This times perfectly, every 2 years the much more optimised version of the previous version comes out. In 2 years from 7 it'll be 7S for example which fixes any issues etc.

Hi guys,
Received the phone yesterday. Inserted 3 pay as you go sim to unlock the phone but now the phone is locked to 3. I am not able to use o2 sim now. Please advise.
mecheekymonkey to Naady
14 Nov 15#1306
It states on the main page NOT to try three sim to unlock it! My only suggestion now is to contact three and assuming you're a pay monthly customer with them, ask them unlock the handset for you!
usenetz
14 Nov 15#1305
Not quite correct. If you buy an iPhone from an Apple store it is unlocked and will remain unlocked however many different SIMs you put into it.
If you buy an iPhone from the Dixons Carphone group, as in this deal, then the iPhone is likely to lock to the network provider of the SIM used to complete the iPhone activation process.
m20dal
14 Nov 15#1297
I put a 3 sim in mine and set it up and then tried an 02 and it doesn't work says activation required but I wonder if it would work if I restored it then set up with the 02 sim ? What does everyone think ?
alictait to m20dal
14 Nov 15#1303
iPhones lock to the first sim that is put into it.
usenetz to m20dal
14 Nov 15#1304
Your iPhone is now registered on Apple servers as 'locked' and so requires an Apple certified network operator to request an unlock. If I were in your position the first thing I would do is to complete the O2 unlocking form.

Thanks doncoop. I've just phoned Mobiles.co.uk and they've confirmed the contract start date cannot be delayed for anyone else who's interested in getting one of these as an Xmas gift. Hey ho.

14 Nov 15#1301
The Mazuma offer was valid. I received the £50 extra voucher code via email after ordering, and have completed the sale of my iphone 5 for £150 instead of the £100 regular amount as well as having paid £75 for iphone after using BLACKNOV15, So anyone who received the Mazuma £50 extra voucher code will get the offer. There is still a £50 extra offer listed on the Mazuma website right now so looks like it's still available http://m.mazumamobile.com/mobilescouk-bonus

Not sure if this question has been asked yet but with 1300 comments I hope somebody can enlighten me please.

Thank you in advance for any replies.

can confirm that i rang up today and CS said that £50+£100 was a system error thats been fixed and they wont be offering it to anyone , I cant justify losing £50 for a offer that was there only 48hrs ago , can anyone suggest a better deal or any matches via other companies ??
kiish to gokhan
14 Nov 151#1292
This is the best deal, this got hot before even the Mazuma offer was posted. The £100 off is what makes this deal hot, the Mazuma was a nice bonus.
I am one of those who ordered directly but I called minutes after ordering and got £50 cheque sent when it was available, even if they said no I would have kept the order.
No one can match this, other mobile providers are fobbing off saying this is a refurbished deal or some unusual t&cs, neither are true. It's that good.
kiish
14 Nov 15#1290
Sorry I was trying to say you can still get £50 if you order from Mazuma but you won't get the £100 off the iPhone because you cannot put the coupon code in the order form anymore. They removed this few days after the iPhone promo so i'm sure CS is aware of this so won't give it to new orders after removal anymore.

Their website still states the information so I'll just play with that. The useless customer service representative I had earlier said the only reason I can't get it is because I didn't sign up with the right referral link. **** coming Monday morning!
I didn't click through the Mazuma Mobile website even though Mazuma.mobiles.co.uk doesn't clearly state you have to so therefore they are not sending me my code for £50 bonus. Speaking to a manager on Monday.
kiish to Savedotmoney
14 Nov 15#1285
Old promo, it's unlikely the manager will do anything. The promo was only available when the deal was posted for 72 hours or so, they've removed the option to enter a voucher code when buying from mazuma link so it would be +£100 for the phone if you went through them.
If you ordered when the deal was originally posted then you may get away with it.

Hi! Anyone has Samsung chip? My iphone has it , I read on the internet awful review about it, does anyone know if this affect a lot your battery? I am thinking to exchange it. Thx
I wouldn't exchange it, it's barely a minimal difference. If you exchange it, you've got a 50/50 chance of getting another with a Samsung chip. You can't specifically ask for a certain chip type as it's random.
Just ordered one for my wife. Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this (CBA to read through the comments), but the tariff will be increased every April by the Network.
Also, if you want a Rose Gold phone, change apple-iphone-6s-64gb-gold to apple-iphone-6s-64gb-rose-gold in the URL to get the same deal.

usenetz
14 Nov 15#1267
An unlocked handset is more useful than a locked handset. For example, when I go on holiday I can use a Three SIM in their 'Feel at Home' countries and divert my O2 number to the Three SIM to receive calls as well as use the O2 TuGo app to make calls from my O2 number. Versatility!
Heat777
14 Nov 15#1266
Thanks. Hopefully that has nothing to do with the "3 SIM trick".
To others asking, I want to give the phone to my other half (not a iphone person) but keep the contract as I need one anyway. Just can't believe I still have to pay EE £8 to get a 2 year old out-of-contract HTC One unlocked when a brand new Iphone 6s is free!

I activated the iPhone using the supplied O2 SIM and then completed this unlocking form - O2 responded by text above and I replaced O2 SIM first with a Three SIM which worked fine then an EE SIM which also worked fine and have now put my O2 SIM back into iPhone which again works fine. Therefore this iPhone is now unlocked. :innocent:

14 Nov 154#1257
With regard to my earlier report that O2 said they couldn't unlock my iPhone 6S bought via this deal it turned-out it was because I entered some wrong security information. :disappointed:

My iPhone 6S is now unlocked.

Yes. Before activating with the supplied O2 SIM I put my Three SIM into the iPhone. The handset showed the '3G' logo as it connected to the Three network.
I then removed the Three SIM before completing the iPhone activation process and used the O2 SIM to activate. The handset is now locked to O2.

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

Stuck that bolex in google translate and it translated to two words "jealous mofo".
Accidentally "liked" your post too....I'll seek forgiveness for that wrongdoing!.
Just had to DFU restore to get to 9.1, had set it up out of the box without enabling anything like iCloud (was planning to restore from my 5 in a week or so), and kept getting error 9 when updating.
All seems fine though so at least it's starting from a clean slate.

Obviously this is very subjective and personal opinion. I have used been using iPhone since the launch of 3GS - I then went to 4S and stayed with that until this week when I ordered the 6S via this deal.
Clearly the 6S is a much better handset than my 4S but I have to say I am feeling extremely underwhelmed by the transition and compared to my Android makes me think it's about time Apple made improvements to their user interface (UI); the customisability of my Elephone and any Android is great and using the iPhone 6S just illustrates how Apple seem stuck in a time warp when it comes to UI.
Nevertheless the iPhone 6S is a very capable (if over-priced) device and this is defiantly a smoking hot deal so many thanks to the OP herby247 :innocent:

Cheers everyone for all the hints and tips. Personally I think this is a scorching deal and finally an iPhone at a reasonable price (depending on priorities of course!).

Unlock from O2 is free.
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.
"Make sure you enter the mobile number that you bought the phone with, to avoid being charged."
Do they really mean that? You enter the number originally supplied with the phone rather than any ported over number?

Then what happens when you want to unlock the phone do you contact Vodafone or O2 I'm in the same situation I'm with EE on a sim only contract with 10 year old phone number which I want to keep so if I put in my EE sim in IPhone 6s then it will lock to EE and I will use the O2 contract sim in a spare unlocked phone but when I want to unlock the phone who shall I contact EE or O2 I'm confused help someone thanks

An update on the three sim card unlock
I still have my one plan sim rolling and are going to the USA on holiday in a few weeks so thought I would use the Three sim first for roaming and worry later.
I filled in the Three unlocking form and spoke to the call centre and it would seem they are going to unlock the phone. Can take upto a week but will confirm once done.
Might be an option for people with a pay monthly Three contract.
Also I don't have another network sim to try so unsure if it's 100% locked anyway - I haven't activated with iTunes or anything.

usenetz to rixy
13 Nov 15#1150
As you know the SIM is already active and you are being charged for your O2 contract however the iPhone does not need to be activated until you are ready; once you activated the iPhone it will lock to the network of the SIM you use during the iPhone activation process which can be on Christmas Day with any network SIM card.
Happy Christmas! :smirk:

This "£800 for a phone" thing is ridiculous, you are paying £800 for a combined phone and package. I pay over £500 over 2 years on contract as it is with my very old iphone4, and yes I do keep them for more than a year. I also use it for my business and trust me £400 per/annum is nothing to a business compared to rent, rates, staff etc.
And to some people, £400 a year isn't really that much money even for none business use, I spend more than that on tat for the kids!!
I wish this deal was for the plus model though as I really want that one I think.

I had considered a different phone until I was at a conference with a 'Professional Hacker'.. Long story short, Apple is the hardest to Hack. Not impossible but pretty hard. Android & others are pretty easy to those who know what they are doing since their Apps marketplace is so open.
Bit extra for the phone, yes, but better that than have my details/identity stolen... Again!!
Really, buy wtf you want, but why come on to forums like this just to criticise a phone or their buyers!!!??? Haters Gonna Hate I guess.

Mobiles.co.uk's return policy is horribly strict. It says you mustn't turn on the phone or use the sim card as doing so constitutes acceptance of the phone. The only thing they allow you to do is open the box and look at the phone - according to their website.

Some people make me laugh!, you do realise your deal costs you nearly £400.
Some people drive in old clapped out cars with little safety equipment such as abs, air bags and so on, others drive around in brand new cars with up to date technology.
i'm not saying which is better, its down to personal choice. I know which i would rather have if i could afford it.
Before you start going on about cars being different than phones, why do you not go with the cheaper option of not having a phone?

£800 for a phone. Sounds reasonable. "Oh but it will last years!" Yeah...like when the new one comes out next year you're really going to just keep this one aren't you. :smirk:
Really, much like the shouty man earlier I'm extremely happy with a £10 a month SIM on an unlocked £150 Zenfone. And yes it gets updates on pretty much a daily basis after about a year of release. And no it hasn't randomly restarted a single time, and also it probably won't blow up either.
But people will want to be Apple clones. Enjoy that. Oh but I'll pretend to be all jealous if it makes you happy. :laughing:

Yep I agree, just means it has taken ages to set up the new phone, a shame you can't restore your old apps and settings until you have updated the software to 9.1 so basically have had to set it up twice!

If this is your 1st iPhone you won't need to restore any settings just set up as a new iPhone. Go to settings iCloud and there you can choose what to back up, I think it is automatically set to back up to iCloud when phone is plugged in and connected to wifi.

Anything you can tell me that might get me a similar deal, been laughable what they've offered so far.
The guy I spoke to at EE was a waste of time today, came up with a £50 deal with an ipad mini and 10gb - then had a strop when I mentioned this deal, slagged off O2 and said I should question where they were getting these phones from.
EE retention really doesnt seem much better than what a new customer gets and didn't offer me anything remotely interesting at all.

when ordering through mazuma mobile, there is no option to enter a voucher code for the £100 off handset cost, unless i'm missing something

This is a hot deal, but I can't understand why people are looking to unlock it and use a different SIM. If you're only needing the handset and not the contract, then it's certainly not the cheapest way to buy this iPhone.

Yup, original deal post needs updated as you can no longer stack the Mazuma deal with the money off promo code. The promo code box has been removed from mazuma.mobiles.co.uk
I've e-mailed them and a very unhelpful Craig told me they've done me the best deal they could, and you cannot combine the two deals. I've e-mailed back explaining that it was possible to get both, and that they compensated some customers who missed out. They can only say no.
Anyway on the positive side, Quidco £10 has tracked.

O2 upgrades couldn't match this deal and it arrived today.phoned customer services and she migrated the account therefore keeping my old number.done in 10 mins.turn iphone off and on again and hey presto!..
argosextra
12 Nov 15#1069
I spoke to O2 customer service to transfer my existing phone number and gave them my SIM card number and phone number to port in the contract temporary number they said it will take 2-24 hours for the change to happen and I should keep the phone off for 2 hours can anyone confirm this is the right procedure
I also said I want to unlock my new IPhone 6s and she said I would have to buy my the whole contract paying £800 to get the phone unlocked or stay with them for the remaining 24 months and get it unlocked when the software comes out which will be when the new iPhone 7 comes out they can't unlock it before the latest phone comes out.
I also said I've filled in the online form to get it unlocked she said it will be rejected so that's that thanks

I ordered a space grey one around midday today - got an almost immediate email response to say that it wasn't in stock and they would get back to me within 7 days. Then a few hours later another email saying they didn't know when they'd receive more stock. And finally one around 6pm confirming my order and saying the handset and sim will be dispatched shortly. Also had confirmation from O2 about my account set-up etc, so all appears good!
adeelbashir to rcrutchley101
12 Nov 15#1062
I ordered Space grey yesterday, received 2 emails this morning that it is out of stock. I called them in the afternoon and said that why it is showing in stock on your website when it is actually not. They said they are expecting more stock soon. I just received another email about an hour ago that they have dispatched the phone already.
Try and give them a call tomorrow morning. You can have their contact number in original post :smiley:

You could flip that comment around though.

If I buy this and put my EE sim in then it will get locked to EE which is fine but after 6 months when I want to unlock the phone who do I contact will 02 unlock the phone for me or shall I deal with mobile phone.co.uk

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.
EDIT: DO NOT DO THIS, IT APPEARS THIS TRICK NO LONGER WORKS!!!

To save anyone the hassle of restoring from an old iPhone, you need to do the software update to 9.1 first as there is a bug that meant couldn't access my iTunes account without connecting to wifi. I couldn't connect to wifi without connecting to iTunes account. So vicious circle really. Frustrating but phone call to Apple hopefully solved it. It's a 2 GB download. It's gonna take a while on my slow connection but hopefully fixes issue.

For those wondering about keeping your old O2 number I've just rung them, no need for a pac code or anything, they will just transfer the old number onto the new SIM card in 24 hours and close the old account. no need to port out and back in again, happy days

The phone will be dispatched the same or next day and will arrive with a sim on the following day. On O2 chat I got them to switch to my old number which takes 24 hours to take effect. Just have to get the PAC code from your old provider. That's it. Great deal, thanks OP and good luck to everyone who gets it. Have a great holiday!

I just received mine today. Has anybody tried the Three sim card unlock trick?
iPhones lock to the first sim card you put in, but apparently Three's sim card leaves the phone unlocked. Anybody tried? or how long before o2 will unlock for us?
brendanb581 to jg213
12 Nov 15#987
I wouldn't try it. A lot of people have commented on here saying they've put a 3 sim in and then it's locked the device.
usenetz to jg213
12 Nov 15#988
The iPhone will lock to the network of the first SIM you use to activate the handset, i.e. you can put any SIM in and it will show as working but as soon as you complete the iPhone activation process then the iPhone will lock to the SIM used to complete that process.

One of the benefits of an O2 refresh deal, the ability to get out any time...will miss that facility :disappointed:
djbenny1
12 Nov 151#984
Eh?
Let's take the same tariff (3GB isn't available so I've averaged 2GB and 4GB - £19.50 for 12mth contract or £21.50 for 30day contract).
Let's say you take the dearer 30day option for no ties. Over 2 years, that's £516.
Subtract that from the total cost of this deal which is £819 - that leaves you with £303 (am I going too fast for you?).
Now, what I have just worked out here (and I hope you're still following) is the cost of the phone - brand new model, 64GB storage.
If you were to go to Apple and buy this phone there it will cost you £619 - again, I hope this isn't too complex for you, but if you take £303 from £619, you are left with £316.
Consumers like to refer to this as a "saving", and this post as a "deal".
Familiarise yourself with the terms - they're used a lot around here.
PS. I made this just for you.

EE has a much larger 3G and 4G network, but of course it does depend on where you live.
If you live in a relatively urban town or city you should be OK. However you will find that if you're travelling between towns and cities O2 will only provide you with GPRS out in the sticks.

Just off the phone to 3 cancellations to see if they can match this. They are accuracy advising customers that this deal is a lie and that what you will find is that your first bill is 31 and then the company will just bill you about 50 a month the next 23months. Wouldnt take a telling when I said that would be a bit hard for them to do with a contract in place but still want listening. Can't believe they get away with advising customers this absolute nonsense

Mine arrived yesterday. Pre installed with ios9 and literally 3 minutes into the setup got hit with the "slide to upgrade" glitch. Had to plug it into itunes, download ios 9.1 and restore the phone from that. All up and running now and O2 have transferred my old number over. Very happy now

With the trade in offer I'm almost tempted to give iPhone a stab again as I'm getting that new phone itch! Even if I don't like it at least resale values are good.
So this no doubt been asked a million times but a lot of pages to go through, since any phone that's not bought from Apple directly will lock itself to whatever sim card is inside, even if I unlock it with O2 down the line it will just lock itself to whatever the next sim is, right?

Once it has been unlocked by the network then it will be permanently unlocked.

You are one massive fanboy broski. To be honest you can suck my dalvik or take it up the ART if you wish. Point to prove was why apple has native performance vs android. You don't need to be so defensive just enjoy all tech equally. I've used android since 1.5. It doesn't even properly utilise all those hardware specs you tout as the bulge in your jeans. Your point about the OS is right I agree but you cannot ignore the rest of the high level abstraction that is present. It will never be as good as native. Even the core Google apps run in the abstraction layer. Only very little functionality is available natively. I'm happy to listen to you brah but you come across as quite the fanboy preaching his hard on for a phone platform. We came naked we'll go naked who gives about android or ios. Live and let live sonny :smiley:.

Is that normal is it going to be locked to EE I'm scared now don't know what to do shall I activate again or just use O2 please help oh EE sim wants me to activate the phone again but O2 sim has been activated first and it comes on normal so what shall I do shall I take the risk

I will advise to put o2 sim and activate it.After that you can try put EE sim,could be working,if not request online unlock on o2 website and wait for their respond.It's safer anyway.when I put 3 sim in my phone after O2 activation, it accepted it an picked up 3G and 1 bar reception(that's 3 in my area),asked for activation ,but I turned it off.Now is back with o2 sim.

Actually you can pick up an iphone 6s 64gb sealed brand new for around 550-570 quid, plus you can get very good sim only deals for £15 or less which equals to 920 or less over 2 year, or 34-38.5 per month

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?
benjai
11 Nov 15#875
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?
martyk62 to benjai
11 Nov 15#880
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.

Where did I say it wasn't your choice, its the same as why I have a superbly built tablet in my hand from Sony, a huge 13.3" tablet from Lenovo (no Apple weren't the 1st with a large tablet and this one even has a built in projector) to its left, I also have 2 Sony phones on the table next to me along with an LG and even a Android Stereo in the car and guess what, they all talk to each other....
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....
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.
I'd quit now fella, you're just making yourself look even more stupid....

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?

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!

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 ****.

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

Very childish response but you knew what I meant, anyway you didn't properly reply to my genuine explanation on why iPhones are not required to run super high spec numbers, if Apple thought it was required to build quad core 4gb ram handsets they easily would but it doesn't need it, but you clearly have not got a clue so just stop adding to this thread now and save your self the embarrassment

Your life sounds exciting. For the record it doesn't make you a "fan boy" just because you buy a product. Frankly anyone who classes themselves as a "fan boy" of any company's product is a bit pathetic.

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
11 Nov 15#764
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. Current O2 bolt on costs £9 1gb £13 2gb. Those are one off costs-Must be another permanent data add on option that isn't obvious/showing on my 02
brandonday1 to brendanb581
11 Nov 152#792
Legend, just rang up and now on 5gb for £34 and can upgrade to 10gb anytime (can't downgrade). For £3 more a month 5gb this is now an even better deal

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.

Can anybody tell me? Please please thank you please

Either go onto online chat on O2 and tell them the PAC code or ring up O2. THen they will transfer your number over within 24 hours. Hope this helps?

brendanb581 to JaySto

See above mate at my recent comment - online chat you can upgrade. 5gb tariff would change monthly price to £34. 10gb for £39.

11 Nov 151#785
I'M SURE THIS WILL HELP ANYONE TRYING TO BUY THIS DEAL NOW...
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...
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?
I'm tempted by this, but keeping my number is essential. I guess there could be better deals come Feb.

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
PlayChase
11 Nov 151#748
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.

11 Nov 15#747
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

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

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?

coolio28 to joncoyle87

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.

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.

Just to add to my earlier post my new iPhone is now locked to O2 having done the 'Activation' with O2 SIM in handset. When I initially tried Three SIM it appeared to work fine showing '3G' as operator but I did not activate with Three SIM in place so be warned.

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?
chrish5244

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.

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.

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.

So just call mobiles.co.uk, tell them you're going to cancel the original contract and take it out again through Mazuma unless they give you the £50??

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

Once again, like a broken record.
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.

I received my upgrade retention deal from EE yesterday. It was an iPhone 6 Plus, £30 upfront for the handset £33.74 p/m, unlimited calls & texts 4Gig of data...:smirk:.

16GB or 64GB? Important distinction there.
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.

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.

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(?).

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.

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.

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).

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.

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.

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.

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...
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.

Standard practice with all contracts. If they billed from when activating your sim in theory you could just chuck the sim away and get a free/dirt cheap phone out of it.

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.

11 Nov 15#584
Wow if the coverage in our area was even half decent on O2 then I would be all over this for my wife.
paul.jacobs
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

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.

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.

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.

Is this true , anyone tried it?
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.

Amazing deal! Couldn't find anything anywhere near as good as this
cecilmcroberts
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.
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.

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. I'm now dithering............

Thanks so much to the OP. I've had mobile phones for 25 years + now, but a new job means that I have finally had to give in and purchase my own private phone now, no personal calls on the work moby. This makes it a no brainer for me.

Thanks, I'd meant to say before, I've tried 5 different cards, credit and debit, mine, my wife's my mother's (the phone is for her so everything is in her name anyway).
I was hoping it is a server issue as the message isn't saying that the card is declined.
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
10 Nov 15#422
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 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!

10 Nov 15#472
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.

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.
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#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.

Except that Three are buying O2, creating the biggest network in the UK. So, good to get in early maybe.
Flombard to bargainbuyer29
10 Nov 151#434
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.
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.

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!

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.

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.
I come here to find deals, not opinion's on which thing is better, I can make my own mind up!
eslick
10 Nov 151#385
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:

Took out a sim-only unlimited mins texts & data deal recently at £25 p/m with Three - but their coverage is poor at best and for £5 a month more knowing I could have this and be back with O2 I am gutted right now but it was a 12 month contract :disappointed:
preecey to welshfrankie
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.

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

I ordered mine at 12.45 but not heard anything, online it still says that they need to check my details. Still says that it will be dispatched today so hoping. Will be mighty annoyed if they decline me based on my perfectly ok credit history.

what are the guys doing that have been rejected (even though have excellent credit report / score)
you think its worth trying again? I cant see a rejected search on my file either - maybe it takes a while to come through.....................help on what to do? Or should I just give up and miss out on this deal :disappointed: Grrrrrr gutted!
kiish
10 Nov 15#371
Its only £25 for new contracts, you get £50 for upgrading existing contract referral. Though they like to advertise "up to £50" :P
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.
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.

10 Nov 15#368
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

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?

Please remember you're not voting on if you like Apple devices or not, you're voting on if this is a 'deal'. It's a deal because that's cheap for an iPhone.

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 !

Yes, I got declined but nothing wrong with my credit history.
"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."

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.

10 Nov 15#360
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?

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.
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.
mcormack
10 Nov 151#348
Paying for 4g data is ridiculous these days, Wi-Fi everywhere .
Houstieboy to mcormack
10 Nov 15#349
No it isn't.
kiish
10 Nov 15#347
Assuming you can afford upfront cost yes, value of sale will be more at 12 then 24 mo.
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.
flipper118
10 Nov 15#345
So paying £714 is a good deal for 12 months? :confused:
Houstieboy
10 Nov 15#344
Man, if only this was the 128gb...
Gentatsu
10 Nov 15#340
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
10 Nov 15#341
Good price but 4G is pointless with a data limit.
In a few years we will laugh at the fact we were limited to how much internet we could use a month.
nothingmuch to Banterlicious
10 Nov 15#342
5 years time there will still be a cap on data mark my words
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!
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
herrbz
10 Nov 15#305
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!
Kulaak to herrbz
10 Nov 15#308
Just ask for the same deal. Hopefully they will oblige or offer something similiar.
joncoyle87 to herrbz
10 Nov 15#309
Normally have 14 days to cancel any contract
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.

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!!!

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.

Tempted with this, just concerned about the low data. EE retentions have offered me the same 64GB iPhone 6S in Space Grey on a 10GB Data EE Extra Plan (Double Speed, whatever that is) for £39.99 a month and £160 up front, would people go for this?
benjyyy to Websta
10 Nov 15#289
God, no.
joncoyle87 to Websta

That's £301 more overall. or £12.50 a month. Couldn't you increase your data to something higher for a smaller amount?
coz1873 to Websta
10 Nov 15#307
Depends what data you need & your local coverage for EE vs O2. If 3Gb is enough and you are not in some O2 dark spot then why pay £85 more up front & £8.99 more per month for the same phone??

You would pay approx £20 a month for the sim only version of this deal. (£480 over 2 years)

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

Have a look on the normal hot deals page there is a warm android deal on there where all of you droids can argue amongst themselves.

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:

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.
Ashj

Just like Microsoft, Google,etc; Apple is open to exploits App Store hacked
and with government agencies snooping...no device is safe.
All networks and devices are vulnerable and Apple is certainly not 'faultless'.

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.

Fantastic deal for me as I use less that 3GB data a month. Thanks for the deal.
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:

Great if that works for you, this is a good deal regardless for people who can afford it and knowing resale value will still be high at end of contract it's a no brainer for the clever :smiley:

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.

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.

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.

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:

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?
Is there any info about this on the net?dong get me wrong but it will turn out ugly in case if it will lock to 3

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.

Well actually its just a saving of £5/month compared with the other 'normal' offer on mobiles .co.uk where they want £36 per month with £75 upfront...that's what I meant. I'm not saying its not one of the best as it certainly looks that way.

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!
EDIT: His iPhone 6s is now locked to Three and it is proving quite difficult to get them to unlock it.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THE THREE SIM TRICK, I CANNOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR ANY IPHONE 6s HANDSETS THAT ARE LOCKED TO THREE

9 Nov 15#22
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.
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.

10gb -£39

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.

PLEASE HELP
But seeing as it would be useful to have the phone unlocked once her contract expires in 6 month, can I unlock the phone via EE or are they just as difficult as O2 when it comes to unlocking the 6S?
TIA
At the risk of coming across as rude, can you please use some punctuation in your post? As above, mine came from CPW.
Arrived at the same address the phone was sent to.
I said I want £50 off with mazuma do I have to order again guy on the phone said he will send me a cheque of £50 and will process it after I hang up the phone I said put me on hold and process it and let me know what happens next he said he has to end the call them speak to finance department and they will send the cheque out might take upto 6 weeks
I am still waiting no response or cheque yet so far please tell me who did you call and what they told you and who did the cheque come from because I'm still waiting oh can you please confirm where they sent the cheque to billing address or the where you had your phone delivered. I am checking both addresses for the last 2 weeks. Thanks

If you didn't get in touch with them when it first happened I'm not sure they'll help - I made the point the day after it arrived that I could cancel and re-order via Mazuma.
How do you still get this deal?
I've tried the 2 codes and neither work.
Tried ringing customer services yesterday and today but closed.
How do i order this deal for my son please?
Why??
It took 4 days before o2 get back to us.Hope this will work for you.
You can ask some close relative,who's on o2 to try do this for you,could be working for you as well.
Also you get your first bill as when you activate the phone not when you order it. So I imagine you could hold off for some time if you wanted.
How can you not have white marks on a white background. We're getting conned here!!!!
iphone on the symmetry case, screen cover applied, job done!
Just waiting for my number to port, so I can unlock.
http://www.o2.co.uk/help/phones-and-devices/unlocking-your-iphone-and-using-it-on-another-network#qs
Haven't tried this :wink:. But from what I read on the amazon reviews it seems to be the case.
One thing to take into account, a lot of people complaining it doesn't cover the whole screen. The thing is, this are hard covers, and since there is a bevel on iphone 6s the cover can't reach the edges. It's fine, nothing to worry about!
£2 for 5 attempts :-)
Make sure you use the supplied cleaning cloth and dust remover sticker to clean the screen first, then use the application card to remove air bubbles.
http://www.spigen.co.uk/cell-phone/apple-iphone/iphone-6s/iphone-6s-screen-protector-glas-tr-slim-2261.html#.Vk3xvrzKnzI
I have to say it's the best ones I have ever seen, it was very easy to fit, no air bubbles, it also fits perfectly and feels like a premium product that will do the job in case the phone does get dropped.
I also bought this case from them, also very well made and I though good value considering some of the crap you see around. Well worth the investment as I want to keep the phone looking good for a long while to come.

Being polite always help, now it's your turn to do your part and complete the questionaire from Three when you get a text.
With the added initial £25 outlay, the Voda deal only works out £4 cheaper a month, for horrendously bad customer service and a gig less data.
If the mazurka cheque comes off (was advised up to 8 weeks), then the Voda deal only works out £2 cheaper a month, and for a gold phone only. Balls to that.
Mine was unlocked within an hour of submitting the form but it genuinely appears to be pot luck.
Only slightly annoying thing for me is that it appears this offer isn't as rare as I thought it would be, though only mobiles.co.uk seem to be able to offer this price point.
Highly unethical. I am sending back my perfect Z1 with the hope of £90 instead of £40 - I wont hold my breath.

http://www.mobiles.co.uk/apple-iphone-6s-64gb-space-grey.html?tid=KC5QMMAR15
Thanks for the update.
We phoned 3e and they said as the phone is bought from mobiles.co.uk, they can't do anything. We have also emailed the proof of purchase but still the same answer. Did you register your 3E sim with the customer services?
I was offered a total of £75 saying that it was revalued as its faulty and would not switch on yet it had never even been slightly temperamental even once in all the time i had it so im awaiting its return due to me refusing there offer >:disappointed:
2. I got my iPhone 6S 'unlatched' after using the O2 online unlock form.
No, before activating the phone and locking it to any network, call up O2 (202) and explain you need to have your phone unlocked as you are travelling for xmas. If they aren't helpful (which would be contrary to their site literally stating "unlock your iPhone at any time, for free"), then you can try locking it to Three and follow my steps. But if too many people do this, mileage may vary...
Did you get any push back from Three?
No - it shouldn't be legal for a network to have their SIM automatically lock a phone not bought from them in the first place! Contrary to a lot of the posts, Three were quite friendly - if you are polite and friendly, people tend to reciprocate.
Here's what you need to do:
1. Take out the O2 SIM, you might need to put in the Three SIM to get rid of the annoying Activation Failed message, and try the iTunes update following the instructions under the heading (it'll be a 2GB download to iOS 9.1): Updating your device under iTunes
2. After your phone restarts, try putting the O2 SIM in and hope it activates, if not, no sweat, continue on
3. Write down your IMEI number - it should also be on your receipt from Mobiles.co.uk
4. Call Three support on 333 from your Three SIM, don't bother entering your IMEI number, talk to a Support Technician, explain the phone is locked to Three and you've tried an iTunes update (they will insist you do it if you haven't).
5. Ask him to escalate it to the "Network Team" to unlock the IMEI
6. Take the Technician's name and ask for this call's reference number, it'll save you time if you have to follow up
7. You'll get a text message from Three in 2 days saying, "We've now processed your unlock request. To finish unlocking, just insert a working, non-Three SIM and connect your device to iTunes. Thanks"
8. PM me if I've missed something so I can update this post to help others
9. Reluctantly hand over the new, shiny i6S to wife as originally intended :neutral_face:
Enjoy :-)

So the grey is showing instock
This is what I get :-
It is probably best to keep on to Three via social media about this and nag them to unlock it for you. I say social media because their customer services team will probably fob you off stating that your iPhone is already unlocked, when it isn't. Their social media team are more likely to escalate it. I'm currently helping my mate try to get his unlocked from Three and am awaiting a response from their social media team. I feel terrible for suggesting this as it clearly no longer works - but the trick did in fact work perfectly on my iPhone 6 I got six months ago.
I couldn't get the form to send on Friday so phoned o2 customer services and gave them the PAC code- they initially said it would be transferred on Monday but it got delayed until today, I expect they are very busy thanks to this deal!
I'm struggling to get my number ported. Sent the form off on Friday and heard nothing back so sent another today. Don't you get an e-mail confirmation to say they have been received?
Thanks for the advice. Just received an OOS email for the Silver 64gb. Phoned them straight up asking if they've got any alternate colours available. They located a Silver one and is being shipped between 7:30am-6pm tomorrow! Yay!

Obviously you get Feel At Home etc. It sounded like they might be working on a deal for Black Friday (there's a banner on the Three.co.uk website) but they were understandably tight lipped about this.
ee don't seem interested in even coming that close though!
ee don't seem interested in even coming that close though!
He said to wait until Black Friday deals but they are not going to release them to existing customers any earlier. I am within the last 30 days of my contract too. I like the 3 package as I will need feel at home from next month when I travel.
Here's a thought why don't they put on the iPhone a radio that doesn't use wifi !!!
My Nokia off waaaaaaaay back and I mean way back had a fm radio !! Back then didn't have apps didn't have 3G just had a green screen snake game and a radio !!!!!
Or for people older than me a wireless lol
They also have the space grey! which I initially wanted but ordered silver as it was OOS.
Am I wrong here - You get sent the code after you have purchased the new phone, and input the code on Mazuma when you are selling your old mobile to get an extra £50 for it?
I had to reset my network settings. Go to settings > General> Reset> Reset network settings.
O2 weren't very helpful on this front.
Ordered mine yesterday and still at "Order submitted" stage.
"This Promotion shall be valid until 30th April 2016. However, Mobiles.co.uk and Mazuma reserve the right, acting reasonably and in accordance with all relevant legislation and codes of practice, to vary the terms of this Promotion or withdraw it." The offer is still showing if you use the dedicated link http://www.mazumamobile.com/mobilescouk-bonus.php
My old EE sim is still working as normal and my o2 sim also works on the temporary number given, but I will wait until 6pm before I query it.
now these are good phones with bags of storage and a good traiff - we both went from the 4s to this and if honest apart from 4G and the processor is it bad i wasnt like WOW this is great - its an Iphone folks better camera better processor but same software as my trust 4S
if anyone wishes to enlighen me as to other things i can do that my 4S couldnt do tell lol im all ears
Better graphics
Bigger battery
A better camera sensor ensuring better photos
Make 4K videos
NFC allowing you to use Pay
Touch ID fingerprint sensor
Force Touch like a right-click on mouse allowing Peek and Pop (try it on the camera app)
Live Photos (if you like that kind of thing)
Larger screen (obviously ;-)
But I kinda agree with you - I like my 4S! :smiley: Not to worry you can 'upgrade' to the iPhone 7mini next year. :smile:
"I spent £800 on something and I've got no idea if it's any better than the thing I'm replacing, in fact it seems pretty much the same to me"
Oo
Spoke to O2 earlier and was told it should be done by 6pm
app development has moved heavily to iO9. You will find many apps will stop working, etc

I won't gripe about an extra £50 over two years - it's the 2GB data that kills it for me as I'm in the 2-3GB band per month at the moment! Went with the Mobiles.co.uk deal instead - hoping Three don't pull out all the stops on Black Friday otherwise I won't be impressed with myself! :smiley:
That is approx double the speed of my home BB (in a place where I use WiFi to save data usage :disappointed:)
I have just tried Virgin simcard and it has worked for me even though I have been using the iphone on O2 from day 1.
Hope this helps

More importantly, I think, is a good screen protector. This one was recommended by a friend with a 6-plus. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00MGE1WYG/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Its pretty easy to put on, no bubbles or anything... The point is to buy a "glass 9H" one. He dropped his phone & thought he has smashed the screen. Turned out the protector has smashed but the screen was intact so definitely worth the investment.

Would appear to be an outstanding deal.
I know it's a contract but your paying for phone and sim but if sim doesn't work O2 will send replacement if a fault with the phone what happens after 12 month Apple warranty expires and is the sales after act anything to rely on thanks
I'm happy with the iPhone 6s deal but not best pleased with time ive wasted time dealing with Mazuma :disappointed:
I get a email from Mazuma today moments before they close saying its faulty and offering me £85 less than they offered :neutral_face:
http://www.sellmymobile.com/phone/apple-iphone-5-64gb/
Tried ordering one for my wife over the weekend and today she received failed credit check email too, bizarre. I believe theyve run out of stock. Not sure whether it's worth trying again.
But yes, any iphone5 users will have to do that.
Email Monday stating that the network operator had declined us after a credit check.
****, never had a credit issue or decline in the past. I think it's their excuse to escape after being flooded with buyers.
Now to get rid of our iPhone 5s's......
Does anyone know when the first £31 bill payment goes out? Got an email this morning from O2 before I'd even got the phone saying the bill was ready but no date on when!
This way I can back everything up from my iphone4 and when the 6s arrives tomorrow I can restore it all to the new phone, saves messing with iTunes!!
£979 for 24 months with your "amazing" Giffgaff deal. Oh don't forget the rate limited 4g speeds which are really less than what 3g gets you! You also got big headed useless forum support who wraith you on any bad things about them and not to mention the quality of the network as it randomly drops. o2 clearly downgraded giffgaff brand for low quality users.
Goto silver then on the left side bar choose o2 and Handset price £100 to £200 then you'll see the £31
I guess you could go with £50 from mazuma and it still would be a decent deal..
Looking at 02's t&cs they only mention:
1. Charges/Price increases – Each year your Monthly Subscription Charges will be subject to an annual adjustment by the RPI Rate. RPI (or Retail Price Index) is a measure of inflation published by the Office of National Statistics. It measures the change in the cost of a sample of retail goods and services. This adjustment could be an increase or a decrease and the adjusted amount will first appear on your April bill
Any thoughts?
I thought about paying up the refresh charge of £465 which would immediately release me from the contract also but again don't really want to part with £500 upfront.
Any other time I'd have jumped on it. Have increased my new o2 contract to 5Gb per month for an extra £3 effective at midnight however as I use between 4-5GB per month, still a cracking deal.
Max allowed is the inflation rate yearly.
I took my current contract out with O2 in 2011 and it was £20 a month, it is now £21.42 so you can see it doesn't jump much each year. And you can change it every 2 years to a new tariff if you keep the phone which normally reduces it anyway.
I've not had any problems with O2 in the long time I;ve been with them (since the first iPhone!)
Also - this deal is getting VERY well known now, so if you don't want to switch to O2 give your network a call - guarantee they'll know about this deal now. When I called up Three to cancel my rolling SIM-only contract (that I've probably only had for 4-5 months) they were more than happy to offer me the exact same deal - in fact they mentioned mobiles.co.uk before I'd even mentioned where I'd got the deal. I'd already ordered the new one though and fancied switching to O2 so I declined but interesting to see that it's spread like wildfire already.
Result - brand new phone, better spec than 5s, cheaper monthly tariff and more data allowance than previous contract.
I bought a Spigen capsule for about £8, and a tempered glass screen protector for 99p off eBay (which has chipped already! Never had an issue with the cheap iPhone 5 ones but I suspect it's because this one is more exposed, as it doesn't cover edge to edge.)
Seems OK to me so far...
I ordered on iPad through Safari, I went through the Mazuma site first looking where to put the code in (all the way up to payment of phone page stage), I then realised the code should be on the first page so without closing that tab I followed the link in this deal added the £100 off code and completed right through, and after completion I got an email from Mazuma with my £50 off code?
I have no actual idea what I did to enable both offers (no hate) but it worked.
If i click through from Mazuma the voucher code box isn't there to stick the BLACKNOV15 code in?
Am i missing something?
If a larger screen, microSD card slot, better battery life, higher resolution camera and water resistance is important to you then get the Z5.
If you prefer the way iOS works, access to better quality apps, faster updates, better customer support, and a higher residual value after two years then the 6s is for you.

For anyone else already on an O2 contract, which number do you phone for customer services to swap my number over? Contract ended in 2013 so I just need to swap my number to the new phone which I am hoping they can do. :smiley:
As best I can deduce the official O2 policy is to not unlock new iPhones for the first six months following release of that generation handset then they will happily unlock via Customer Services or their online form although some here, including myself, have been able to get their iPhone 6S bought via this deal unlocked.
I just wonder if this voucher works only with this particular deal ? Would it for with iPhone 6s Plus ?
Thanks

Don't think the Mazuma link is working anymore, just the normal £100 off... still a cracking deal..
You are tied in a contract, why would they offer 50% off? They have nothing to lose.
+Inflation
The code I used was for £99.99 and DPD delivery charge is £0.01 and from £175.00 if you take £99.99 and £0.01 it comes to £75.02 including all charges.
I have checked my remaining balance on my account and saw £0.01 is pending for credit check so I'm being charged £0.03 for no reason many thanks
Edit: or you can have it delivered to any registered business
In my case it was the 13 nov 15.
31 for the cost of the bill. I couldn't provide those memorable letters/numbers so I choose 'I don't know my password'
Then I entered 'unlimited minutes and text, 3gb data' in the plan description.
However on a previous occasion I ordered an iPhone 5S from O2 and unlocked it via the online form without ever taking the O2 SIM out of its packaging. I also cancelled that O2 contract (it was Refresh) and so the SIM was never used.
So I wouldn't worry too much about the O2 SIM at this stage so long as all the details you enter on the online form are correct you should be okay.
Yes I completed the online form and my iPhone is now 'unlatched' :stuck_out_tongue: from O2. Just wait a few days because if you have submitted multiple unlocking requests then so long as one contained all the relevant and valid details then you should hear from O2 shortly that your iPhone is unlocked. Meanwhile try putting a different network SIM into your iPhone and see if the unlock has gone through; don't worry about connecting to iTunes as I didn't need to do that - just swap the SIM. Good luck! :smirk:
Did you manage to unlock?
Then swap out sim start up connect to iTunes enter iTunes user/pass and phone connect to operator you have inserted. Made test call all OK.
I then switched back to the o2 sim test call again all fine.
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
Great job guys..
This deal is via mobiles.co.uk. If I wish to upgrade it to 10 gb internet from the beginning, how can I make sure of this?
Thanks
Raj
Thanks for your email but we have now shut down our email support service WTF
What happens now do I call them or just leave it help me not sure if this is normal did anyone else receive a email after sending the unlock form thanks waiting for your reply
"I'm sorry, we have not been able to unlatch your device at this time.
The reason given is:
Sorry, you?ve not passed our security checks with the detail you gave
us. Please check you?ve provided the correct information and then resend
the form."
What that refers to is when you are asked to enter certain characters from the security password you use when you contact O2 customer service, not the one to sign into their website.
If you don't know the password then I suggest you contact O2 customer service on 202 from your new O2 SIM and ask them to help you with the password then resend the online form.
EDIT: Tested with a Three sim, can confirm now unlocked.
Still waiting......
Using Mazuma? You can't use both £50 Mazuma + £100 off iPhone, this was a error and they fixed it. So you need to choose between the two. For £100 off you go directly from mobiles.co.uk
Why wouldn't you? This times perfectly, every 2 years the much more optimised version of the previous version comes out. In 2 years from 7 it'll be 7S for example which fixes any issues etc.
Bet you're the sort that trades his car in too :smile:
I just don't understand what mug would have a iPhone 5 and get rid of it for a 6 at the cost of £600 more
I feel just like Anakin Skywalker
I still say its utter bolex. Just before you accuse me of being a "fanboy" - I'm a Samsung S4 owner. I'm not going to preach about it though as everyone's opinions / needs are different.
Received the phone yesterday. Inserted 3 pay as you go sim to unlock the phone but now the phone is locked to 3. I am not able to use o2 sim now. Please advise.
If you buy an iPhone from the Dixons Carphone group, as in this deal, then the iPhone is likely to lock to the network provider of the SIM used to complete the iPhone activation process.
MSE recommends Insurance2go.com which is £79/yr but its cheaper from Gadget-cover.com from TCB for £53.91/year + £5.50 cashback
Thanks! :smiley:
I am one of those who ordered directly but I called minutes after ordering and got £50 cheque sent when it was available, even if they said no I would have kept the order.
No one can match this, other mobile providers are fobbing off saying this is a refurbished deal or some unusual t&cs, neither are true. It's that good.
If you ordered when the deal was originally posted then you may get away with it.

Good deals Johnny.
Also, if you want a Rose Gold phone, change apple-iphone-6s-64gb-gold to apple-iphone-6s-64gb-rose-gold in the URL to get the same deal.
Ps do I have to update the iPhone to IOS 9.02 thanks again
Perhaps each colour only has a certain amount mate not sure.
This illustrates why the policy of Dixons Carphone to lock iPhones to the SIM first used to activate the handset is so ludicrous and should be abandoned immediately.
Does anyone know where to get a tempered glass screen protector which goes to the edge of the screen? As ones I have ordered seem to leave a slight gap?
Ps. Why is everyone obsessed with unlocking this phone?! The phone is locked to the first sim that goes in.... simple!
To others asking, I want to give the phone to my other half (not a iphone person) but keep the contract as I need one anyway. Just can't believe I still have to pay EE £8 to get a 2 year old out-of-contract HTC One unlocked when a brand new Iphone 6s is free!
I resubmitted the unlock request using the O2 form and today got the following text:
My iPhone 6S is now unlocked.
:stuck_out_tongue:

i tried last night and no code code was available on mazuma mobile link
eh its the same choices of colours lol
its the name of the plan
Help?
Thanks
Sure this can't be right? Bill within one day?
I then removed the Three SIM before completing the iPhone activation process and used the O2 SIM to activate. The handset is now locked to O2.
I myself do not use iphone but I also dont try and belittle people for their choice.
Enjoy your jollys at others expense. They probably dont give a ****
I see someone who has an opinion that a much cheaper phone can rival an Iphone or a Samsung; hence the former, in his opinion, is a better deal.
I own a number of Apple, Windows and Android devices; the worst thing about owning an Apple device is being associated with the childish masses that are Apple fanboys......Mac Rumours is a cesspit.
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!.
http://www.tomshardware.com/news/iphone-6s-a9-samsung-vs-tsmc,30306.html
All seems fine though so at least it's starting from a clean slate.
Great, thank you both!
Thanks
Clearly the 6S is a much better handset than my 4S but I have to say I am feeling extremely underwhelmed by the transition and compared to my Android makes me think it's about time Apple made improvements to their user interface (UI); the customisability of my Elephone and any Android is great and using the iPhone 6S just illustrates how Apple seem stuck in a time warp when it comes to UI.
Nevertheless the iPhone 6S is a very capable (if over-priced) device and this is defiantly a smoking hot deal so many thanks to the OP herby247 :innocent:

Just installed Irium on mine and I've got the N71mAP TSMC chip so they're certainly not offloading a load of the Samsung ones. Very happy :smiley:
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.
http://www.o2.co.uk/help/phones-and-devices/unlocking-your-iphone-and-using-it-on-another-network
Do they really mean that? You enter the number originally supplied with the phone rather than any ported over number?
What did they say about £50.00 cheque you wanted from them?
How long would it take for them to process this and to send to you?
Many thanks
Superb thanks for the quick response.
I will use my standing Vodafone contract sim in the new iphone 6 then give the O2 contract sim to my daughters unlock phone so I can keep my number.
Many thanks
Thanks
Help please much appreciated.
I still have my one plan sim rolling and are going to the USA on holiday in a few weeks so thought I would use the Three sim first for roaming and worry later.
I filled in the Three unlocking form and spoke to the call centre and it would seem they are going to unlock the phone. Can take upto a week but will confirm once done.
Might be an option for people with a pay monthly Three contract.
Also I don't have another network sim to try so unsure if it's 100% locked anyway - I haven't activated with iTunes or anything.
Mobiles.co.uk need to work on their stock control system but then maybe there is unprecedented demand given this deal.
Happy Christmas! :smirk:
What about a giffgaff sim , as it uses 02 network, will it work on this phone?
What about a giffgaff sim , as it uses 02 network, will it work on this phone?
Am i allowed to upgrade for 6plus by paying extra without increasing monthly tariff??
Also it gets updated on a daily basis does it? Shows how poor the software must be!
And to some people, £400 a year isn't really that much money even for none business use, I spend more than that on tat for the kids!!
I wish this deal was for the plus model though as I really want that one I think.
Bit extra for the phone, yes, but better that than have my details/identity stolen... Again!!
Really, buy wtf you want, but why come on to forums like this just to criticise a phone or their buyers!!!??? Haters Gonna Hate I guess.
Everyone should be happy with their purchase whether you with £150.00 phone or someone with £10.00 phone ... after all its festive season so lets enjoy and be happy :smiley:
Some people drive in old clapped out cars with little safety equipment such as abs, air bags and so on, others drive around in brand new cars with up to date technology.
i'm not saying which is better, its down to personal choice. I know which i would rather have if i could afford it.
Before you start going on about cars being different than phones, why do you not go with the cheaper option of not having a phone?
Really, much like the shouty man earlier I'm extremely happy with a £10 a month SIM on an unlocked £150 Zenfone. And yes it gets updates on pretty much a daily basis after about a year of release. And no it hasn't randomly restarted a single time, and also it probably won't blow up either.
But people will want to be Apple clones. Enjoy that. Oh but I'll pretend to be all jealous if it makes you happy. :laughing:
Anything you can tell me that might get me a similar deal, been laughable what they've offered so far.
The guy I spoke to at EE was a waste of time today, came up with a £50 deal with an ipad mini and 10gb - then had a strop when I mentioned this deal, slagged off O2 and said I should question where they were getting these phones from.
EE retention really doesnt seem much better than what a new customer gets and didn't offer me anything remotely interesting at all.
therefore you get charged from date of order
regardless of whether you use it or not.
Battery life is always dependent on your settings as well so I'd like to think I'd manage it well.
Also, to be honest if I do need extra battery life - Anker provide suitable power accessories.
Here's hoping the experience is a good one. At the end of the day, I'm only paying £19pm more for a brand new phone (factor in the £75 upfront fee and it's still a good deal).
Hopefully the moving of Android based stuff to the iPhone will be seamless...
Ordered mine yesterday and got it today with the discount and the £50 from Mazuma deal. :smiley:
have some more heat :smiley:
Edit: Now unlocked - see new post here: http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/iphone-6s-64gb-o2-4g-100-off-using-code-blacknov15-unlimited-calls-texts-3gb-data-2319260?p=26459284
I've e-mailed them and a very unhelpful Craig told me they've done me the best deal they could, and you cannot combine the two deals. I've e-mailed back explaining that it was possible to get both, and that they compensated some customers who missed out. They can only say no.
Anyway on the positive side, Quidco £10 has tracked.
I also said I want to unlock my new IPhone 6s and she said I would have to buy my the whole contract paying £800 to get the phone unlocked or stay with them for the remaining 24 months and get it unlocked when the software comes out which will be when the new iPhone 7 comes out they can't unlock it before the latest phone comes out.
I also said I've filled in the online form to get it unlocked she said it will be rejected so that's that thanks
I ordered Space grey yesterday, received 2 emails this morning that it is out of stock. I called them in the afternoon and said that why it is showing in stock on your website when it is actually not. They said they are expecting more stock soon. I just received another email about an hour ago that they have dispatched the phone already.
Try and give them a call tomorrow morning. You can have their contact number in original post :smiley:
What do you exactly get for your £5/month ?
"Get amazed that people will get incredibly advanced expensive smartphones and then get 100mb data £5 SIM only deals, like having a huge people carrier and then only ever driving it with just you in it. I think I'll stick with my cheap contractless unlimited data deal *wink emoji*"
You'll probably come back and say "we'll actually X and Y isn't true because...." But I'm just doing what you've done.
EDIT: DO NOT DO THIS, IT APPEARS THIS TRICK NO LONGER WORKS!!!
I can only use this in the future for purchases off the site? As credit on the website? Or will I get the money to my account/ cheque?
The £50 mazuma code: will it go towards any further purchases in the future (phones, accessories etc) or will it be credited from this deal (first bill?)
To confirm you can pay to upgrade to refresh
Decent price I would say
What minutes / data etc
Some people use more than 200 minutes etc
Thanks OP!
We will update you again within 7 days so there is no need to contact us.
We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused.
Yours sincerely
Mobiles.co.uk
The phone will be dispatched the same or next day and will arrive with a sim on the following day. On O2 chat I got them to switch to my old number which takes 24 hours to take effect. Just have to get the PAC code from your old provider. That's it. Great deal, thanks OP and good luck to everyone who gets it. Have a great holiday!
Cracking deal thanks Op!!! :smile:
iPhones lock to the first sim card you put in, but apparently Three's sim card leaves the phone unlocked. Anybody tried? or how long before o2 will unlock for us?
Let's take the same tariff (3GB isn't available so I've averaged 2GB and 4GB - £19.50 for 12mth contract or £21.50 for 30day contract).
Let's say you take the dearer 30day option for no ties. Over 2 years, that's £516.
Subtract that from the total cost of this deal which is £819 - that leaves you with £303 (am I going too fast for you?).
Now, what I have just worked out here (and I hope you're still following) is the cost of the phone - brand new model, 64GB storage.
If you were to go to Apple and buy this phone there it will cost you £619 - again, I hope this isn't too complex for you, but if you take £303 from £619, you are left with £316.
Consumers like to refer to this as a "saving", and this post as a "deal".
Familiarise yourself with the terms - they're used a lot around here.
PS. I made this just for you.

shame its o2 though
Good luck to those who have ordered
Received next email this morning at 08:30 saying its out of stock.
Received another email at 11:20 confirming that it is out of stock and no date of stock availability.
Then I called customer services. The lines are too busy that I had to keep on hold for 20 minutes. Then an advisor took my call and told me that it will be delivered to me by Monday. Let's see!!
If you live in a relatively urban town or city you should be OK. However you will find that if you're travelling between towns and cities O2 will only provide you with GPRS out in the sticks.
I had delivery of my phone today but I still don't have the £50 voucher from Mazuma (I defini went through the link). When did others get their Mazuma voucher?
Cheers
The code is in that email
"Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience however, your order for the Apple iPhone 6s 64GB Space Grey is now out of stock and we don't have a date when it will be next available. We are working hard to secure stock for your order, so there's no need for you to do anything. We'll be back in touch as soon as we have an update."

Just got this email, im not sure if they have cancelled my order or delayed it? Does anyone know? Thanks
3 pay monthly sim for £17 is basically my only option.
Due to high demand this is out of stock so we are unable to send the order out to you. We are sorry for the delay and thank you for your patience.

Great deal!
So this no doubt been asked a million times but a lot of pages to go through, since any phone that's not bought from Apple directly will lock itself to whatever sim card is inside, even if I unlock it with O2 down the line it will just lock itself to whatever the next sim is, right?
I think riding into Harrods on my gold plated Segway is enough indication that "I am considerably richer than yaaoow!"
Can't believe how worked up some people are getting about something they've no interest in purchasing.
Is that normal is it going to be locked to EE I'm scared now don't know what to do shall I activate again or just use O2 please help oh EE sim wants me to activate the phone again but O2 sim has been activated first and it comes on normal so what shall I do shall I take the risk
Rest of them are white fronted & look like a hairdressers phone. All good if you are from Essex though...
Been on Android since my HTC Desire which I got about 6 years ago.
Think the girlfriend will disown me if I get an iPhone though. ha ha
So I put in my order but i didn't receive a confirmation, nor an order number after checkout?
When i check my bank account, there is a pending transaction for 1 pence from e2save.
I am worried it has not gone through
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.

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.
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....
http://www.cultofmac.com/303223/ios-twice-memory-efficient-android-heres/
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.
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!
Just saying, it may not lock.
So the 3 sim trick is a no no
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...
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!
Anyone have a solution?

Can anybody tell me? Please please thank you please
Already a few locked devices showing.
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.

GOOD LUCK IN GETTING ONE BEFORE THEY ALL GO....
I'm tempted by this, but keeping my number is essential. I guess there could be better deals come Feb.
3gb of data is hardly enough
I now feel terrible.
Do NOT attempt to use a Three SIM to unlock the device.
"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?
Has anyone got any real life experience of this on the 6s?
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
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?
Cheers for posting the deal herby
now how to shift my number from one O2 account to another :wink:
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.

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
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.
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.
Hmmm might not now :disappointed:
:neutral_face:
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.
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.
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:
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.
Oh no advice please, i was getting excited being free from apple, but this is like fate hehe
It's in the box and I can cope with waiting for the case/screen protector to arrive in the post before opening it.
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.
:laughing:
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(?).
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).
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.
Incredible....
Get a perspective....
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.
Less than 24h turn around, now just need to wait for the Sim..
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.
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
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.
could have done without this but glad others commented about the voucher.
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.
just before 7PM
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.

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.
Really you are talking about 50p per month for 1 year. unless the RPI drastically goes up.

oneplus one is so much better than this phone..
I was hoping it is a server issue as the message isn't saying that the card is declined.
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.
Anyone else having this issue?
It doesn't matter how many times I use my card.
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
New phone should arrive tomorrow, great deal!
"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.
no thanks
Good deal for others though!
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.
Requirements or not, data is still ridiculously overpriced.
Its easier to find once you sort O2 and select handset price £100-200 from the left hand side menu.
http://www.o2.co.uk/help/phones-and-devices/unlocking-your-iphone-and-using-it-on-another-network
Port it to Giffgaff then back to O2
I'm an Android user and previous G3 owner btw!
Can you see it?
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 come here to find deals, not opinion's on which thing is better, I can make my own mind up!
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:
TIA
Was thinking about one for me and one for my wife...
She will be happy with her Christmas Present
https://twitter.com/mobilescouk
you think its worth trying again? I cant see a rejected search on my file either - maybe it takes a while to come through.....................help on what to do? Or should I just give up and miss out on this deal :disappointed: Grrrrrr gutted!
http://www.techweekeurope.co.uk/mobility/4g/hutchison-three-o2-merger-takeover-165141
I have just ordered a second one online, no problems, I'm happy x
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?
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.
Value of 6s in a year? At least 350
In 2 years? 250?
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.
In a few years we will laugh at the fact we were limited to how much internet we could use a month.
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
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
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.
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!!!!!!
I know Three don't lock their handsets but that's only if you buy the handset from Three.
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.
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?
It's £10 on O2 I think
"We are pleased to confirm that your order has been successfully processed and will be dispatched shortly from our logistics centre."

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.
- £619 (Current phone cost)
= £200
£200 / 24 = £8.33 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.
This deal works out just over £8 per month..

But its a good deal for those who cannot or will forget to redeem.
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.
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:

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.
FACT!
EDIT: DO NOT DO THIS, IT APPEARS THIS TRICK NO LONGER WORKS.
Oh well :smile: lol.
Anyone know if you can "delay" start of contract (ie. to around xmas time)?
https://www.secure-mobiles.com/customer_login/recommend
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!!
First email sent O2 login details. 10 mins later, email for mobile.Co.Uk
SIGH
Would it be a waste of money buying this and tossing the 02 sim away?
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.
EDIT: Damn it, ordered.
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.

"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."
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.

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.
https://www.secure-mobiles.com/customer_login/
Once you're logged in click View Order then click Order Status
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:
App Store hacked
and with government agencies snooping...no device is safe.
All networks and devices are vulnerable and Apple is certainly not 'faultless'.
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
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.

Mine says in progress, ordered an hour ago
Apples encryption and user privacy is faultless and that's a major plus one regardless of price.
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.
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!
Sorry the voucher you have tried to use is either invalid or has expired. Please try again or continue with your order. Thank you.
Thats convinced me enough order - now only problem....................which colour?!
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?
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.
http://www.o2.co.uk/help/phones-and-devices/unlocking-your-iphone-and-using-it-on-another-network
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
How can this be....?
Anyone know if with O2 already can transfer number across t this contract? Cheers.
Months sometimes longer no matter what sim is in it
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.
http://www.o2.co.uk/help/phones-and-devices/unlocking-your-iphone-and-using-it-on-another-network
:confused:
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?
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.
This is a really good deal.
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
EDIT: His iPhone 6s is now locked to Three and it is proving quite difficult to get them to unlock it.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE THE THREE SIM TRICK, I CANNOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR ANY IPHONE 6s HANDSETS THAT ARE LOCKED TO THREE
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.
In case this helps anybody else, I ordered via this link: http://www.mazumamobile.com/mobilescouk-bonus.php
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.
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?
