​You should take it out of the box and turn out in then.....

What do you mean 1gb data is nowhere enough for a smartphone?

I use iPhone 6 Plus and use 200mb data a month....does that not make iPhone 6 Plus a smartphone?

better deal? LOL Upfront cost ￡292.99

Different people have different data habits. For example, I have a Galaxy K Zoom (like a Galaxy 5 with a camera) and according to my phone, I've used 151 mb since Oct. 6. However, I do use my phone quite a lot... especially as I received all my work email on it (the email itself probably doesnt take up much, but whenever i check email i always think of something else i can do!). However, I do things like turn off all my location settings unless needed, close all programs (apps) when I've finished with the phone, never update on mobile data, etc. The bit that really helps is that I connect to wifi whenever I can, and I can almost everywhere. Work has wifi, as does my flat, as does the grocery store... and even the bus to and from work! So really there's not much need to use my mobile data at all.

£554, far too much.
1gb data is nowhere near enough for a smartphone.
Naff deal IMHO.

quality deal,heat

Nope, lol :stuck_out_tongue:

I agree 1GB is not enough but my question is without turning on the phone how does he consume 200mb.........

"PAYOCT10" reduces upfront cost to £40.
Quidco pays £20, TCB £20.20

Would be a good deal but the Samsung is crap poor battery wouldn't bother ..

OP your pic is S6 Edge

If you have WiFi at home then it's enough for a lot of people. I use less than 500mb a month.

64GB models are £29pm

This is a really good deal so heat added, any tips for anyone other than those mentioned to reduce the price further as I'm seriously considering getting this tomorrow when I wake up ( about to sleep ), thanks.

*Edit*

Just seen the battery life so scrap that, I'm a heavy user for work so even 17 hours on light use to drain the battery isn't enough, shame :/

not a bad price

glad to see you can all manage on 1gb I pretty much hit my limit of 10gb every month... but then again I don't attempt to save data...

Can anyone help - looking for a cheap alternative to an iPhone 6. What's android support for A2DP and audio folders over USB like these days?

Got the missus a Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 but we had to download and pay for DoubleTwist to make it usable as a music player. Over Bluetooth in the car it's fine, but if you plug it in via USB it only finds two audio files on the phone rather than what's in the sd card. Downside of Bluetooth streaming is no playlist/audio selection via iDrive.

With this being built in memory, is it any better supported over USB?

I agree with Dinosteveus.

As far as Oteshima is concerned, not all of us are constantly surrounded by Wifi as, I presume, that's the reason you consume only 200mb/month.

To put it into perspective, if you were to go on pay as you go (giffgaff) it would be £288 @ £12p/m goodybag with 1GB data, and the phone would cost at least £340 bringing the total to over £600.

You're getting this phone for £270 and get to pay for it monthly.

Why have Ferrari and fill it with one gallon of petrol If people except this tiny data allowance we will all pay fortunes for ordinary usage. If your wifi turns itself off, you end up with a hefty bill. Deal good for very people who dont leave the house.

No deal

I have one it has a crap battery im no fan boy i have had all phones and its just the battery is very poor..

In that case apologies mate. Mr mrs has one and just about lives on facebook and hers last all day. Suppose it depends what you are doing when you use it. I stepped on the Android defence button a bit too soon then. my bad :sunglasses:

Maybe its because im use to the beast oneplus i have but i use the samsung as the spare decent phone but i like it lasting more than a day...

there's a better deal on the moment, Samsung S6 Edge 32GB, 1000mins, 5000 txts, 2GB.
Upfront cost ￡292.99, ￡12.50 per mth 24 mth contract.

is the phone locked ?

Why has this been expired?

My S6 also has terrible battery life and if you're forced to use power saving modes or battery saving apps then that is the sign of poorly designed fone. My Z3 never has any battery life issues so i'd say it has better balanced specs and better designed software.

This is tempting. My back of a fag packet maths suggests it works out at £593 - only £40 more over the contract and you get an additional gig of data. My only concern is battery life, isn't the edge even worse than the s6?

Need a new phone but which one would ppl recommend? want a samsung. Its either S6, S6 edge or note 3. Whivh ones best one out of them 3?

​Yes but is it with Vodafone?

Talktalk Mobile

​that says it all one of the worst...

lol r they that bad???

Talkmobile don't do 4g

Lucky I'm on unlimited data, one month I can use 10gb, the next around 1gb.

Not if you set the data limit in the phone's settings.

Exactly! I have a nephew with an iPhone who complains he has to charge his phone sometimes twice a day limited battery power is not confined to one make or model but dependent on usage

phones are unlocked when you buy from mobiles.co.uk

Heat added!

Yes, it's not for those who use oodles of data. I only use it on rare occasions when I can't connect to Wi-Fi or it would be quicker using the mobile connection such as when checking something in a shop. My current contract which is just about to expire had 500mb and I only came close to using that on a couple of occasions so I suspect 1Gb is fine.

I do remember the lady giving me odd looks when I told her two years ago I didn't need much data! Many places have Wi-Fi these days so it's purely a backup for me when it isn't a viable option. You just need to make sure you set a data limit in the phone and keep an eye on usage.

All I know is... I laughed hard when I saw what Orange / EE where offering me as an upgrade. I'm only paying £4 a month less for the Galaxy S3 Mini and my fiancée was paying more for the Galaxy S4 mini. Both just ordered this and we've doubled our data and minutes, got the latest phone and made a slight saving.

I'm happy with that!

Batteries are dreadful in most phones. That's where the next great leap in technology needs to be.

Cracking deal OP, thanks for sharing.

Does this phone come unlocked?

Mine arrived today, not sure if it's unlocked because it only takes a nano sim and I've not got a spare.

Just to confirm as well, the first 3 months of data appears to be unlimited.

There's a promo code knocking off £20 upfront of any Vodafone Pay Monthly deal, use that and it's only £30 upfront. And yes unlimited data test drive for 3 months. Great deal, if you trust that site given the volume of bad reviews.

Here, also for EE too: http://www.vouchercodes.co.uk/mobiles.co.uk?ppcid=vclbrmtxntygxaxbjgwfrptfnbgrnixfrhjemvvxhmtnwdtelfmluglnhlntgrneszndlunuqnkqjpxlvtvegnxksdxmgbgukmnltjtyrbnctowijmnzrtoqtyvvttmegbteueumncjxmbmplbjfqakbxzterklfjjmcqfndndgvnimdhvjfqdxdmklarooqqvqrmkkdrvxlndqegzgsgxnkgc&v=5&gclid=Cj0KEQiA0-GxBRDWsePx0pPtp4sBEiQACuTLNlWwZS9u4gbRovgUWoRoEMycUs5VN-DXKHD0Bm8JYWEaAkfr8P8HAQ&kid=98924888-1e7f-4e82-84e1-f20a2353b25a

I risked it and I've had no problems, the phone arrived the day after I ordered.

This is a great phone, just a shame about the battery life but I suppose all phones have their weaknesses.

Cool, did you pay £30 or £40 upfront then? I went for the S6 Edge in Green, £27.50 a month on O2, with £0 upfront and 1GB data (2GB first month), from Amazon.co.uk ☺ And yeah most phones have crap batteries nowadays, least you have a fast charger.

I paid £40 unfortunately as I wasn't aware of the £20 code.

Yeah it seems a considerable improvement on the S5. I think the phone is unlocked as well.

£27.50 is a good price for the Edge, and 1GB is enough for me as I use wifi most of the time. I've never been into getting a phone on contract (never had one before) but at this price I couldn't resist.

Ok, I think mobiles.co.uk mainly have issues with iphones, credit checks, website errors and cash back. But luckily it worked out for you. Yeah I was happy with the deal I got, price/phone/data just right for me and I trust Amazon more.
