Have you heard of Wifi and microSD cards?

I use Wi-fi most places - home, work, store, restaurants etc and find 1gb has done me well for the past 4 years. Obviously, this is not for everyone, but seems a good deal on the "best" Android phone (according to a review I read this morning) if you mostly use Wi-fi for data.

My contact expires next month so I'll look out for this. :smiley:

How many gigs of data do you use a month? I use wifi at home and 4g when out and about and I read emails use whats app, watch a little youtube read stuff on the internet but have very rarely gone over 500mb

​Whenever you challenge someone who says '2 gb is not enough' they never come back and explain why their usage is so high. 2gb should be plenty if you have home broadband, unless you're streaming movies every other day when you're out and about - but if that's the case why not just download them to your phone at home first?

2gb data lol

Would be a great deal in the 90's

Voted cold on so many levels...

er, isn't this the mobiles.co.uk deal from a couple of weeks back but without the VR headset. Bit early for a repost.

OP it would be helpful if you put the retailer in the title. I thought this was direct from ee and went on their site. Nothing anywhere near this cheap there!

Plus add the total cost of ownership over the 2 year contract. £24.99x24 plus £125 is £725. That's good for this phone.

crap did I miss the free VR headset with the deal. I had been looking but haven't seen the monthly cost as low as £24.99 before

Good deal this, looking at moment best ee can offer direct is same monthly costs but phone costing £465!!!

"So for £24.99 you get 1000mins, unlimited texts and 2gb data, that is worth about £14.99 a month, I know you can get £100 amazon vouchers on a 12 month deal with ee. "

What's that bit about £100 amazon vouchers? Do you get it with this deal or not?

sorry the amazon vouchers were with a 14.99 ee sim only deal posted on here a few days ago

If this was 4GB I would bite, but 2GB is just not enough for me.

2gb? Have they heard of HD video?

Hot

looking for a sim-free deal ,besets I can find is GiffGaff £630 .

posted already when it was on preorder. came with free VR headset too, plus TBC.

have to w8 min 6 months to unlock it

Depends

If you're a heavy Instagram user 2GB can easily be exceeded in a month

Again pointless comparison

Stuff like Twitter Facebook images can't be stored offline

& wifi isn't omnipresent

The same deal with the iPhone 6s but only £100 upfront for anyone interested. Does anyone know how "sound" mobiles.co.uk are? They seem too good to be true and reviews aren't great but they are part of CarphoneWarehouse so I'm not sure.

Same deal on the iPhone 6s but only £100 upfront

Anyone know if they'd do this as an upgrade - am in last 30 days of my current ee contract. Or is it new contracts only? Don't want to pay to sit on hold to find out!

​That's a pretty specific example that probably wouldn't apply to most people. Even so, when I'm out I use Sky's 'The Cloud' service, BT wifi, O2 wifi, etc. All free. The only time I turn on mobile Internet is on the train to work very occasionally. Fair enough 2gb may not be enough for a tiny minority but to disparage it like the fellow at the top of the comments is ridiculous

Levels
The supplier
The carrier
Small screen
No removable battery
Slow OS updates from Samsung
Price

Nor is 3g/4g.... Everyone's situation will be different. For the majority of people I know 2gig is more than they ever use in a month.

As an aside, how many Facebook and Twitter images do you look at in a month?? Or do you include videos in that? Images can be stored... Just take a screen shot? I sense I must be missing the point somehow.

Everyone I know with a high data plan has high usage of, specifically, instagram, snapchat and youtube. If you don't use these much or aren't glued to your phone when you're out and about then 2GB is fine.

I have wifi at work, uni, the gym and at home so I can't imagine using so much mobile data in my day to day life.

It would be useful if you could provide a link to a better deal then if price is an issue. I can't see a better deal around? Or maybe a link to a similar spec phone for cheaper?

I am not sure all of those levels are reasons to vote cold. I do like this community as there are often useful comments on these threads with why certain items aren't great, or why you can get an alternative for cheaper etc. I have purchased many items on reccommendations from informed people on such threads. However voting hot or cold on your opinion of the item alone isn't right, it should be on the price.

The supplier - irrelevant, sim free stock from samsung, all service related questions to network and get repairs at carphone stores.
The carrier - fastest 4g network overall, none are perfect but return/don't buy if you have poor coverage
Small screen - compared to what? I think it's an ideal size, if you want a bigger or smaller phone buy something else.
No removable battery - name a mainstream current flagship phone that does have one. G5 would be closest but it isn't even out yet.
Slow OS updates from Samsung - Not really 6.01, on the S6 now
Price - is about £1 a day, it's worth that to me. There are cheaper alternatives for those who don't value a phone as much

Quidco £20 or £50 for an upgrade. I seen this deal last week, I'm waiting for a discount code. Still a good deal tho

It's cumulative

2GB is only approx 65MB a day

Even one hour a day of cumulative Twitter and Instagram pictures , emails , Internet browsing

It adds up

Yep I don't understand how some can say they don't understand why someone needs more than 2GB over 30 days? Certainly won't say the deal is cold because of 2GB but 4GB in my eyes is the comfortable sweet spot.

Sometimes I like to watch a YouTube video on the fly when I'm sitting on the bus for a long time.

Sometimes I want to listen to a new album on Spotify whilst travelling on the overground.

Sometimes when I'm in the park with my friends I want to be able use my data without worry, especially if I'm showing them funny things on Instagram, Snapchat etc.

Sometimes when I'm on a long car journey I want to be able to browse freely. Perhaps watch a movie on Netflix. I don't want to have to remember to download stuff and store it before I leave.

Don't think it is as cut and dry as "WiFi at home, Wifi at work/uni"

2GB per month might be enough if all you want to do is play games and browse. I travel for work and hotel wifi is more often than not shocking, so I want to tether my phone to my laptop and watch Sky Go. Furthermore I like to stream the Cricket or the football when I am in the pub and the free wifi is insufficient for this purpose. I don't need 20GB every month, but I need 20GB to be available because sometimes I nail through that in 3 days.

2GB is lightweight use. I get 80Mb+ download and 30Mb+ upload on EE and I only have 4GB data a month. It's way faster than my home broadband even.

I decided to do a quick 20 minute test

5 minutes of Instagram
5 minutes of Twitter
5 minutes of Safari viewing daily mail
5 minutes snapchat (viewing stories)

Hit 66.6MB

12.9 Instagram
6.2 Twitter
16.8 safari
28.4 snapchat

Even if you minus snapchat

Just 30 minutes of usage (spread through the day) can easily reach 2GB

& it's good to have the option not to have to ration and say oh I'll wait until I have wifi

Would you still get wifi-calling?

You could challenge me and ask why my usage is so high but to be honest I wouldn't know. I have wi-fi at home but not at work and depending on weekends away my data usage can fluctuate from a low of about 6GB if I don't go anywhere and tens of gigabytes if I'm away for a few days. I used to be on the 3 unlimited plan but moved to the Vodafone 20GB offer when 3 tried to double the price on me. I'll probably bump into the limit a handful of times a year but I guess now I have a limit I'll start being more aware about my data usage.

I think the 2gb argument is arbitrary because we all lead different lifestyles. I have great Wifi at home. I drive to work so can't use my phone anyway. I have great Wifi at work. I reckon I'm on Wifi about 90% of the time so just need mobile data for those times I'm not at work! Incidentally, my last plan was 5gb and on average I only hit just over 1gb!

Not the S7 edge

I agree my average data usage is around 250mb per month but a lot of people who complain it is not enough do not have landlines for home broadband or wifi access at work.

I just called to cancel know and they said they don't offer any £26 deals?? I was offered £32 with £79 upfront. I said my friend got a cheaper deal and he asked for the number to check the account lol. Any idea who you spoke to?

Can you give me a link to any instructions / files please? I read that the S6 has problems with the partition sizes not being equal and flashing failing.
I used to flash, root and extend partitions etc on my Older HTC desire and nexus 7, but had an iPhone 4s for the past 4 years, so a little out the game......

Do you still get the monthly allowance if you unlock the device and put in say, an O2 sim?

If you stick an O2 sim in, you will be using O2's data on the SIM cards package, so no, you can't.

Agh right okay, so then what's the point of it being unlocked when you're paying for a package?

Not much really, just resale value on ebay etc.

At the end of your contract, you can switch to any network you choose. During your contract, you can use a local SIM for cheaper calls and data when travelling abroad. You can also swap between SIMs if you want to (for example, if you run out of data, it might be cheaper to use a GiffGaff SIM for data for periods of time, although calls to your regular number would go to voicemail until you put the EE SIM back in).

Does anyone know how long this offer will be available for? Would suit me to buy after this weekend form a delivery point of view.

really tempted with this but also like the look of the lg g5 , hoping this offer is on for a while to see how much they offer the g5 for

Got this tariff for £3 a month without the phone, cold deal.

​People with a porn addiction find it hard to admit it. :smirk:

Yea the S6 did have problems but it's sorted with the s7. I suggest see this link and download from this link

I commented because this is a deal site and thought this is a hot deal. And it is very hot and my comment attracted a lot of likes.

As I said, this is not a deal for everyone. So, if you're a heavy data user, this is not for you. There have been a lot of "I use absolutely loads of gigs of data" interesting (not) comments. Aka "he's not a man, cos he doesn't smoke the same cigarettes as me". If this deal isn't for you, move along - no need to comment.

This however, is an absolutely pointless condescending reply. More worthy of a two word reply.

Indeed, so what people are saying is - this isn't enough data for me to consider it a hot deal, that is why I am voting cold.

Did you even read what you posted and what I replied to?
You said your "contact" was about to expire. I was having a laugh, perhaps at your expense due to a spelling mistake but there we go.
I even voted hot. It's a very good deal.
Lighten up ! :sunglasses:

The world of internet typos!

Your reply was too subtle. Nobody else picked up on it, nor me. I posted the comment, with fat finger syndrome obviously. I just didn't get your joke

​sorry I didn't get back to you earlier, no you can't use the allowance with the other sim. The reason for me to unlock it is because I am with O2 on sim only plan; so my sister use the EE sim with the allowance. I hope this answers your question :innocent:

will this come unlocked?

Got to love Hukd. If we had time machines we could go back and get the pre order - only mine has broken.
If you want 4GB or more of data this deal isn't for you - jog on.

Can someone help me? I just want to have 200 min and msges on all networks in Uk and only 200 minutes to a specific country from 'EU' per month and unlimited data or 20 GB , is this possible ? I don't want unlimited calls/texts. Sorry for bad english typing ( still learning :smiley: )

No harm no foul, I'm not one do have a go at people preferences for such deals and I can see perfectly well why you may have assumed it was a personal dig. I try and refrain from such nonsense. Life's too short. :man:

These days, 2 gig is probably more than enough if you have home wifi.

My current contract has 5 gigs monthly, but I've found I rarely go over one. And haven't gone over two apart from in the first month when I absolutely hammered the usage (and my home wifi was playing up).

Very tempted by this. My contract expires in a couple of weeks. If only EE didn't have such a pants signal where I live...

How would I transfer and existing number over if I was to go for this? Is there an option to enter a PAC code onsite

I've found a different deal on the site (Edge S7 for £31 a month, so have gone with that), but I have the same PAC situation. My understanding is that the phone they send you has a temporary number (which you can keep if you like) but if you want to use a PAC then you contact the provider (O2 in my case, EE in yours) and they'll swap it over.

On your order page on the Mobiles.co.uk site, there's an option to edit the number once you've used your PAC code. This will tell them that you've changed the number.

I have ended up buying the LG G5 through EE. Also EE only allow you to unlock their phones 6months after the contract has started.
They explained that it will come with a temp number and we will just have to call them up and provide them with the PAC code from current provider and it will transfer over :smiley:

​would be great not to have r3tarded comments to, but you ruined that.

can i ask what deal you got and how much please ,i'm really tempted by the lg g5

What are your options if you run out of data? Can you purchase a 'gigabag'?

when you click on the deal the cost of the handset goes to £250

Handset now £250
