Take that up with Sony, not me

6 months on, no autocashback, called and was told it is £25 but needs to be claimed as autocashback is automatic transfer when you provide a bill on a specific date, was not happy and complained in writing now.

Not a trustable company

Coverage checkers are just guides as you don't know if buildings (height, material, etc), 4G spectrums (different signal waves = different uses) are taken into consideration.

Good deal but voted cold as you always ignore the rules about cashback

I'm with vodafone. I think all networks are pretty similar these days.
I get one bar of 4G signal, and thats more than enough to stream youtube or netflix in 1080p!
As for customer service, seriously don't bother ringing them, they're useless. Pop into a store, and get the store staff to help you.
I spent half an hour in the store last week after days of arguing with the customer service.
The store manager spent 20 minutes arguing with the same customer support before they relented an gave in to what he was demanding they do.
From now on, any problems, i goto store and they can force the problem to be solved themselves

Having come from the Xperia Z3 before it, I do find the Z5 a bit of a step backwards.

First off, the battery life, you will struggle to get 2 days without turning on the Stamina Mode. Realistically with moderate use, you are looking at under 1.5 days.

Also the camera which has been so hyped up, yes its fast focusing but the image processing software ruins details in shots. I wish they would just advertise it as a 8MP camera too, as the 20MP mode (which you have to turn on manually) doesnt take as detailed shots. I think this could have been a great camera, but its ruined by the software.

I like the thumb/fingerprint sensor on the side, but as its so slim, sometimes it doesn't recognise the scan.

Everything else is just a bit run of the mill, its just good, but not great.

Having had it since November, I doubt I be keeping it for much longer, I may go for the Samsung S7 when it arrives later this month.

Is this the premium though?

I have Vodafone and would recommend the network, however you might be going round in a cirlce when trying to resolve an issue but otherwise they are good

3 just as bad? The call centre is in Glasgow where you get through to some lovely people. Vodafone is some asian country where they hang up on you. Please do not compare as you are misleading many people to take this deal.

Heat add thou.

Would rather this with speaker, than The s6 edge.

Cashaback is a joke. They decline what they don't want to pay.

Was actually going to post nearly the same deal earlier, you can get it slightly cheaper and more stuff thrown in. If you go to the Free Gifts section at the bottom of the main page you can find same deal but only £44 a month after the cash back, plus they also throw in a choice of a £50 iTunes voucher, £50 Amazon voucher, £50 Marks and Spencers voucher or a Kindle 6" E Ink Display (worth about £60). You also get the same free Sony Bluetooth Speaker as per the offer above (not sure if it's mentioned anywhere in this thread though).

Obviously TCB or Quidco of £31.50 / £30 respectively too.

Also worth mentioning for those with a Santander Bank account or card, I had an offer on my online banking page (under the retailer offers bit) which gives you another £40 cash back when you take out a Vodafone contract of more than £17 a month

where does the £14pm come into it?

You were obviously bothered enough to remove the correction which the moderators made to your deal...

My honest opinion with vodafone is that they have good and bad customer service... Which to be honest again is not good enough but whenever I do complain I eventually do find someone who will compensate me for the merry go round... It does take quite a lot of goes though, lol!

Not had to deal with them on that basis so I can't advise
have a read of this though, it may help

If the predictor says its good and you can't get it or it's poor, you can still return within 14 days under distance selling regs.
Talk to the sales peeps before you commit if you're worried

is that 100% as the predictor says I am good for 4G, but then EE told me the same and 4G was flakey at best

I think a lot of it is we as consumers expect to be courted for our service, as a lot of them could not give a crap, yesterday I phoned EE to leave and at no point did he try to get me to stay, just said fine, sorry to see you leave and here is your PAC code...

I hear Vodaphone are the same, not interested in you as a customer

Anyone currently on Vodafone able to advise what they're like as a network these days? haven't used them for years, and apart from a question mark over this deal involving them, it seems incredibly good!

quite a bit lol

Maybe I'm missing something? This looks like a great deal if you want that phone and are happy with the network.

It states Vodafone but it so rubbish in my area so I will surely let this go but maybe good for some people

What network is this on?

expensive
