Equally I would like to invite those that find a better deal to put it in here so everyone can benefit please.

Update 1
To sum up where we are at
Best value in my opinion is with 24 month contract if the £31.50 cash back goes through works out at £125 for handset, £31 a month over 24 months = total cost of ownership £837.50 and you get unlimited minutes, texts and 6gb of data. Network is Vodafone. mobiles.co.uk through topcashback (note it says s7 not s7 edge and cashback may not track)
Remember to go through cashback site and then what you do is
click on the s7 edge then go to left hand side and choose hanset value 100-200 then choose monthly cost 25-35 and you will then see the deal for this:
Best value 12 month contract is 10 gb data unlimited minutes, unlimited texts £64 a month with 47.25 cash back if it goes through. That equates to total cost of ownership of £720.75 over 12 months. Network is vodafone.
Link: http://www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk/contract-mobile-phones/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge Remember to go via topcashback while it is running ;)
Buy sim free – best price of phone £619, rolling 30 day sim uswitch exclusive £10 pm =£739 total cost of ownership. This gets you 3000 minutes, unlimited texts and 3gb of data. network is life virtual operator.
Remember and go through cashback site and not link below:
(https://www.unlocked-mobiles.com/sim-free-mobile-phones/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-sim-free-p-84950.html)
Now go to cashback site to get discount on sim (uswitch- select life sim) http://www.uswitch.com/mobiles/networks/life-mobile/sim_only_deals/
You can see there is a £6 a month option there if you think you wont use more than 1gb but its 3g data.
If you do not like vodafone you will pay about £70+ over the 2 year period to go to ee and best deal is 5gb data for it see post 17 for details.
As always folks these are subjective and may not be for everyone but at least it lets you see quickly what I have found and if you can find better please help other potential s7 edge owners out by posting what you have found.
£837 for lowest 24 month contract I could find with half decent tarrif vs 12 month of £720.75 a difference of £117 approx can you get a sim only deal that would be better that would give you same deal after your 12 months run out? Only time will tell, we roll the dice and take our chances.
Some of these deals end 6/3/16 folks

Thanks everyone for your time reading this and for your vote, I was not trying to offend anyone when asking not to vote negative. It is your right to vote however you wish :smiley:
There is a lot of people putting time and effort into supporting the site offering deals and information to people and people voting negative making no contribution is potentially putting people off of helping others. Again it is your vote and I respect everyones rights on here :smiley:
The main thing I noticed when doing the research on the s7 was there is only really a couple of pound difference between what I found averaged out over the 24 month period. I know not everyone likes vodafone but if you look at the price of the deal without cashback it basically boils down to £32.63 buying serperate over 24 months assuming all stays same with life or £36.21 with mobiles.co.uk but you get unlimited minutes vs 1000 minutes and also 6gb data vs 1gb of data for the difference.
If you get cashback however price is even less for all those minutes and data. On the life combo you are £32.63 as there is no cash back vs £34.90.
We all like different phones and I respect each persons view point on that. I just hope that if there is better deals out there those voting negative will contribute something positive back :smiley:

Think it's a good idea but if you had a link under each offer then it would help, as it's not always easy to find.

I was going to do that but didnt know if it would come up as an affiliate link or cause issues. The main way to remember is that if you go down the combo route you go to uswitch and choose life as the network and there is 2 options one that is 1500 minutes I think and unlimited texts and 1gb of 3g data. You then need to buy the phone through either carphone warehouse or mobiles.co.uk to get the free vr or use the link to get the phone only at £619.
If you are going down the route of 24 month contract it is done through topcashback - click on mobiles.co.uk and then select the £31 cost per month with handset at £125
Sorry I am not good at these things but hopefully it helps you and others. Maybe if someone more clued up at these things can put the link in it can help others from advice I have given above.
Thanks again everyone for your support :smiley:
