I wanted one over a 12 month contract so I've got some equity in a years time. This is the best deal I could see if you're able to pay a higher monthly cost - although it's not hugely more expensive than some other 24 month deals.
To buy the same phone direct from Apple would cost you £699 (not saying this is the cheapest place but for comparison). So £768-£699 = £69 for 12 months worth of airtime, or £5.75 a month.
There's also potentially £31 worth of cashback available through TCB.
For anyone that is struggling to find the deal when searching on the site, you need to increase monthly cost to any, increase data and minutes to the maximum and ensure upfront is 0. You should be able to find it on the list then.

Worth adding that the network is Vodafone (as some people either like or won't like that). Also you can have the 128GB option for £74.99 upfront at the same monthly cost.

Good deal TBH. Ignore the iphone haters and the cold votes. I am voting it hot!

Sounds like a good deal but couldn't find the it through your link as only 24 month deals advertised.
sihaworth
22 Feb 16#5
If your struggling to find it, make sure you alter the filters so that line rental is above £50+, upfront cost is £0 and data allowance is 7GB+. Oh and it's Vodafone.
savinggrace
22 Feb 16#6
Is this available with 6s?
Coreydeals to savinggrace
22 Feb 161#8
Yes, I just had a check and you can get the 6S 64GB on the same tariff and price. Just increase the data and change the monthly cost to any and it should be on the past page.

Is this for 12 months? I've searched and can only find 24 month deals for the 6s
sihaworth
22 Feb 16#15
Make sure you bump the filters up, I can't link directly unfortunately.
But make sure the upfront cost is £0, monthly cost is £50+ and data is 7GB+. Should appear then, it's about second from bottom.

Anyone know if the prices of new iPhones are normally higher just when released?

I have speaked with three and Vodafone companies I mentioned about this smartphone company makes good deals so they told me they are selling refurbished iPhone they are not brand new as ours, can anyone please let me know can we trust this company?
Coreydeals to lemooo
22 Feb 16#20
They would be listed as refurbished if they were. If you search on the website the refurbished ones are listed as refurbished if they are. I've always found Three talk negatively of companies like this. Although reviews seem positive in the most part which makes me feel they say that so you're more likely to go direct.
sihaworth to lemooo
22 Feb 161#25
They do sell refurbished phones but they are clearly listed as such. This is for a brand new one. The company seems to be a sister company of mobilephonesdirect.
Coreydeals
22 Feb 16#18
Hope that you've managed to find it. It is definitely listed and on the last page. Follow the steps Sihaworth has listed and you should be able to find the deal.

Thanks to you both, found the deal. Just got to work out if I want the 6s or go for the plus with them being the same price

22 Feb 16#24
I'd go for the better resolution, battery life and image stabilisation with the Plus. Especially given they're the same price. The residual value will be worth more also.

22 Feb 16#26
Thank you I will go for it ca you please tell me how to get TCB its the first time I'm using that

Login to TCB then search for smart phone company within TCB. It will then direct you to their website and register your visit and subsequent purchase.

Voting hot but think the 128gb deal on Vodafone here posted early January is slightly better.. And still available. 10gb unlimited unlimited £64.00pm over 12months with £77 up front. Still would not buy a phone this week with MWC on there should soon be some price drops... Maybe not on an iPhone though! ><
savinggrace
22 Feb 16#29
Does anyone know how is works with vodaphone re exceeding data? Do they send text to advise you that you are near limit? Does it then cut off like EE so you need to buy top ups?
Coreydeals to savinggrace
22 Feb 16#30
It doesn't cut off once you hit your limit, but you will receive texts to tell you when you're near as far as I am aware. If I am correct from reading another thread, it is charged at £6.50 per 500MB. It may be worth keeping an eye on it yourself or setting a data limit on your phone if possible if you were to go with Vodafone.

Phone will be locked on first sim card?
Coreydeals to bezed24
22 Feb 16#33
I was trying to find the answer to this since someone answered this on another thread when they got the device from smartphonecompany. It seems that this device will already be locked to Vodafone.
swfarrington
22 Feb 16#32
I presume at the end of the 12 months you'd be able to get the phone unlocked from Vodafone of you were moving provider? you'd obviously want to change tariff after 12 months anyway otherwise the costs would get stupid at £64 a pop.
but I'm interested too as to whether these phones will lock to a network, is there a way of finding out (other than trying it out)?
swfarrington
22 Feb 161#34
Right, cheers for that.
It appears from vodafones site that they charge £20 to unlock whilst under contract but free out of contract

That's just the link to your own basket with the deal in!
But yes that's how you set the filter and look for £64/month on the last page as it doesn't say 12m until the buy page.
sreenireddy
24 Feb 161#44
there is a range if you set the filters to the max at the bottom.
but to make it easier for u all here the info and links u need for the 12months contracts
the only difference between each contract is the Data, updated prices to reflect 6s Plus
for 16gb and 64gb models
Just a little heads up on your links. You can get the 64GB version for the same price on the 25GB, 20GB and 10GB plans.

i edit the post to reflect the price was actually cheaper on apple website and also added the 64GB versions too

24 Feb 16#49
Ah, brilliant! Also, you've quoted the Apple prices for the 6S not the 6S plus. 6S is 16GB £539 and 64GB £619, but the 6S Plus is 16GB £619 and 64GB £699.

Anyone know if they do the smaller 6s on the 12 month contract. Can't seem to find anything.
BrianM
26 Feb 16#64
Yes there are some there! They are ~£65/month so you need to set the "per month" slider to "any" (and network to Vodafone only) or they will be filtered out!
Would they unlock it if after 12 months if you jumped to another network and weren't with them anymore?
sreenireddy
2 Mar 16#68
They should do. I have had a tesco phone off ebay and rang them up to unlock , they said if the person who had it before had owned it over a year then it was free, which it was :smiley: but it took them an awfully long time to unlock i had to wait 28days. Im sure this was not a technical thing but because i was not their customer

Dear all,
What is the re-sale value of the iphone 6s plus 64 gb after 12 months?
And has the cashback via TCB tracked for everyone?
Btw, akodalikar, there are no free gifts via Moneysupermarket for the 6s plus - only for the 6s.
cldox
18 Mar 16#75
You could probably get £450-500 if you hold out for it. Otherwise probably closer to £400, accounting for it being superseded by a new model. They hold their value pretty well.
