A real bargain in my opinion.
Yes, it's a refurb but it has no negative feedback and over 130 have been sold. All colours in stock for £219.95 to £219.99.
Ends tomorrow is £20 off selected Samsung phones. So it takes it down to £199.95/9.
The gold and blue are selling for £369.99 on Argos website and the Black and white £329.99. So a really good saving on either handset.
For those of you iffing and arring about a Refurb - so was I. But I thought to myself.
You have 30 days to change your mind. You will have to pay £4 to send it back but it's not a lot to lose when you could have a lovely S5 for a great price.
Secondly, if it is scratched the backs are £2.49 from ebay so that can be sorted out. If headphones are missing, these are also £2.49 from ebay.
Lastly, if (heaven forbid) it comes and it is in bad condition or has a fault then Argos HAVE to be responsible for returns. So you lose nothing. These phones have been manufacturer refurbished and listing states they are in EXCELLENT CONDITION.
All come with a 12 month warranty.
Hope this helps someone. I can't wait for mine and the hubby's to arrive.

Rather pay £60 more and get a new S6 from o2

That is your opinion, which is respected and valid of course. But there are many of us (myself included) who would prefer not to get an S6 by taking out a contract then cancelling airtime - or whatever else you have to do. For those who want a sim free option that they can stick their sim card in and away they go - with a phone that has expandable memory.....It might be just up someones street. Hopefully it will help someone, not you clearly, but it might help someone else. And that makes me happy! Merry feckin' Christmas :smiley:

S5 still a great phone. Typing this from my blue one. Has the flexibility of MicroSD and swappable batteries that the S6 doesn't :smiley:

Same here. If it was much less it'd be a good grab, and the S6 has double the capacity (granted you can't upgrade it).

Agreed then pay £12 to get it unlocked.

No sd card on S6 and battery life not very good though.

It's the better phone from a technical standpoint, but it's glass(!), a pain in a butt when it gets caught in a boot loop (as no removable battery), no microSD, whereas the S5 is waterproof, microSD, removable battery etc.
or £30 and get the G4. This isn't a good deal in my opinion.

Some people would rather have the waterproofing and expansion slot of the S5 not to mention being £60 cheaper and not having the faff of cancelling stuff with O2 - it's been proven time again that while you can cancel an O2 Refresh tariff, it's clearly not in the 'spirit' of it and very grey area; if O2 suddenly stopped allowing airtime cancellations so soon they would be well within their rights with little recourse.
Heat from me Kay!. You might have saved me there as I broke my S4 recently whilst in your neck of the woods :disappointed:

My best friend has the S5, her husband has had the S6 and the edge and hates them both. He broke one with his belt and almost had to fork out £260 for a new screen. I like the S5 :smiley: can't wait for mine to arrive. Plus it has been approved to receive the new Marshmallow update coming soon. So why not. £199.95 for a blooming decent phone is a good deal in my book. I had to share :smiley:

Lol! My fault....too many beers :disappointed:
Feeling lost without my phone so I'm very tempted to take the plunge. I did want to try the S6 Edge but can't bring myself to spend (waste) £400+ on a phone right now.

Not if you are planning to have more nights of too many beers :smile: I lose mine or my children put them in pints of juice. The fact that this waterproof and the s6 isn't was the winning factor for me lol
