​lol only an isheep would compare a £700 phone to a £5 one

Hilarious comparing an iPhone 7 to a cheap phone for a fiver! I trust you're working in the Apple Store today and struggling for commission :laughing:

​nice of you to share the deal :man:

At £5 you're not buying into a thriving software ecosystem. If you want to run a few apps, check your email, browse the web, then buy this. If you want something which has a long future ahead of it, buy an iPhone 7.

Checked my local store. They didn't have the 435 or 645 (£15 in other thread) but 550 scans at £35.

I still have one left that's not charging before I boot it to eBay I might try it again. Must say never had any issues with android and csipsimple I rely on having a soft phone number with rotating 7 phones. Also the music player was very flaky but for a fiver spent and 43 webuyfor voucher back no big loss just hope that bill gates fiver obliges the 550

That's weird. Maybe 'battery saver' is on (this stops push notifications)? Maybe the app is set to not run in the background under 'battery saver'?
I own a Lumia 1020 for over 3 years now (I like photography and to me, the camera is still the best you can get on a phone) and have all apps that use push notifications working fine - Whatsapp, Skype, Outlook, Facebook, etc.

I got it wrong apparently you have to use push notifications to get zoiper to receive calls. Why should I jump through hoops when I traded in both for an m4 aqua on android which was a doddle to set up

If it can't receive sip calls from zoiper without the app being running then it's lacking something. The app itself stated that it doesn't have push notifications. I have had the 435 and know this as fact. Maybe the 435 being low end isn't a typical wm. Have you owned any wm phone or are you guessing?

"For a start" haha. Give it a rest man, I can reply to ANY comment I want.

You STILL don't seem to grasp this. I'll try one more time. Read this one through a couple of times. See if you can get your tiny brain to understand this: There is this thing (you may need to look this up for reference) called diversity. This means that whilst one person likes one particular thing (in this case a mobile phone) another different person can like a different thing. That's what humans do. Now, person A is no different to person B. They just have different tastes. If they think the iPhone is the best phone on the planet then they are not wrong. Because that is the best one for them. Now person A choses not to be a pleb to person B because of their choice. That's how it should work.

So feel free to investigate the mind blowing concept of individuality. It seems to have passed you by. Go and enjoy your phone. Let others enjoy theirs. It's really not that difficult.

I like how you missed out the part where you have to pay £10/£15 for a contract which will bring you over the cost of what I spent and on top of that my phone will be worth £300 after 2 years and yours will be worth £50.

Lol great job!

Sod me!!, when were these EVER £5 each anywhere last year?.

Looks like I missed out BIGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG?!, as my Pay & Go Upgrade of an Upgrade cost me wayyyyyyyyyy MORE than that?, I'm assuming your's were NOT Upgrades of anything right? (but I notably paid MORE!). :-(

Lol. :-)

That's a super awesome story. Glad you shared it. Now, how about just liking what you like and shutting up about something you don't want or like? We fully understand your hatred for Apple and that's fine. But don't expect others to follow you because of some snarky remarks on an online forum. Why do you even care so much?

Hey common sense and Vidal take your arguments somewhere else, this is just annoying for other members now

There are many other phones, he can't list all of them and decided to use the iPhone as example.

This site is about finding the best deal for a specific product, not the cheapest price among a range of products.

There are android phones similarly priced to iPhone, but it all comes down to personal preference.

My iPhone cost me £23 pm and is cheaper then most top of the range android phones, however this means it's the best iPhone deal. I can't say it's the best mobile deal as it depends on what phone you prefer.

I find it strange, yet humourous that you're so offended by my points of view, do you have an affiliation with Apple in any way ?

Ahh, now you mention the £100 upfront lol, so you're talking a total of £652!
I would disagree with you on all high end Android phones having a similar price, i'll soon be getting a high end Android device with 128GB onboard storage and expandable memory up to 256GB which includes a 3.5mm socket for wired earphones for a total of £397 without a contract!
So you're being charged £255 more for a device that has less functionality, and you think that's good value for money ? lol ok

All high end android phones have similar release prices.

my contract is 24 months with £100 upfront.

Iphones also keep their value a lot better then android, so even if you were right about them being more expensive it will usually balance out.

Replace iphone with any other phone. Argument still stands. The only thing I'm offended by is your lack of common sense.

I very much doubt that your iPhone is cheaper than any
I very much doubt that your iPhone's total cost is lower than any high end Android phone, how long is your contract ? it's a well known fact that iPhones are always the most expensive phone on the market in comparison with phones in the same category.

No! lol

WM doesn't lack push notifications.

Yes Whatsapp works and Viber is in the app store.

My older son gave him his old Sony Xperia phone (smaller than my Sony Xperia Z1) and he was only using it to play games (he's only 9). There were several games downloaded, however, the phone won't start up properly anymore (googled it and it is a common fault with this model). I don't want to pay to have it fixed as it wouldn't be worth it. He does have a Nintendo DS Lite to play some games on, but he used to like playing the other games on the Sony phone. I just wanted something cheap that is capable of playing a couple of games - I'll ask my older son if he can remember what he downloaded and then get back to you. Thank you.

Unless it's satire, your name does not suit you. You're still banging on about iphones. The guy, correctly, used iphone as an example. He could have used an Android phone instead (and not got this response because; fanboys). He didn't even suggest that iphone is the cheapest/best. Just an off the cuff remark that iphone was an option.

The only thing worse than an iphone fanboy is an iphone hater. Because they just do not shut up about iphones. Get over it. Enjoy what you like and let other people enjoy what they like.

Doesn't WM lack push notifications. Zoiper is the sip app but I couldn't receive calls maybe viber same. messenger lack calling on wm

But there are other phones that get regular updates too, like Google and Microsoft phones.
And if the whole point of this site is getting a good deal by spending less money, then surely the iPhone 7 would be the worst choice ?

You don't by any chance work for Tesco do you ? :smile:

If he likes recent, popular games you would be better off looking for a cheap android phone.
Afraid he won't get pokemon on this, ​checked on mine and pokemon go is not in the store. There are plenty of games and apps available but not all main ones and not usually the newer, popular games. If he's not fussy then probably ok to get to use for phone, internet, camera, email, etc and there are plenty of games on it like some of the angry birds apps if just wants some to play occasionally while out and about. I guess ok if he had another device at home like a tablet to play others on normally, but if intending to be used as main device there probably won't be enough variety of games for him and the screen is not very big.
If you want me to do a search in the store for any other games to see if compatible I would be happy to, just reply with list and I'll let you know.

Why not use Skype?

You completely missed the point again.

He wasn't comparing this to an iPhone, in fact he was saying it was a very good deal.

Someone else complained how the software is going to be outdated and he merely said if you want a phone that is going to have loads of updates then go for a more expensive phone and as an example he said an iPhone.

I have the next model up and have been able to install and use.

was wondering if the Viber or whats app working with this , would buy my parents abroad.

Yes

Its a magic wee phone - i have 3 when they were £5 with cashback on Carphone Warehouse a year ago!

If you like Apple buy an IPhone, if you like Android then take your pick, if you want a Windows phone then this is a good deal for an entry level phone. Believe it or not some people do just want a phone to make calls and text.

none at Sandhurst Meadows

None in St Stephen hull and hasn't been for months. Good find if you can find one heat

Put a picture of the receipt thanks

This has 1 gb ram. Tried to put it into my daily users but the music player was flaky then I traded the 2 I bought for 86 we buy for voucher at cex and got a three locked m4 aqua very happy. This was the model that Microsoft gave away in the vain hope of getting a network effect and market share needless to say it didn't work. My 11 year old neices grew out of these pretty quickly

Yes, me :smiley:

anybody checked Sandhurst Meadows ?

These were available at carphone warehouse as an upgrade for £5 about 18 months or so ago, not a bad phone for the money.

Just to let people know, I chased this goose and it was golden :smiley:

great find. worth getting to use a spare phone. I think it's a good little phone, I got one a while back from carphone warehouse for £9.99 I think. I do prefer android as not all apps I like are available on windows, but used it for a while when in between phones and while my current phone was drying in a bag of rice after my nephew knocked a glass of water all over it! Ok its not the highest spec but it has plenty of features and is easy to use. I use it as a sat nav mostly now. If I didn't like all my games and apps so much I would happily use it all the time.

Set X exists such that it is everything an iPhone can do.
Set Y exists such that it is everything a £150 phone could do.
X∩Y would therefore be large, however X∩Y ≠ X. Within this context, this implies that Y is larger than X, but not such that X⊂Y.

Ho Ho Ho. Whats wrong with the previous versions of iPhones that they need replacing with new ones ?

Not in stock for the last year staff said in Rotherham branch .

if anyone finds one in Glasgow, let me know? i'm near the st enoch centre store

Was wondering the same thing :smile:

Back to topic - has anyone apart from OP actually got this deal?

good value for money

Thank you for letting me know.

Don't think so, this is a Windows phone and Pokemon Go isn't out for Windows, Apple and Android only. Sorry!

Nah, just non fan boys with common sense.

Talk about upselling!

I am minded of this:
http://theoatmeal.com/comics/apple

Not in my local Tesco hate it when that make the prices different in different Tesco's :confused:

Looks like the front line of the Apple Defence Corps. have been deployed.

Putting it simply, the only thing that the latest iPhone has that Android phones don't is their 3D touch gimmick other than that the £150 Android phone has far more functionality.

I'm not entering the eternal debate between phone preferences here, but this comment needs explaining :smiley:

How can the £150 phone do almost everything an iPhone can do and a whole lot more at the same time? Either it cannot do everything or it can do more than.

Great Deal

Except there's a bit of a difference between a £150 Android and a £700 iPhone especially when the £150 phone can do almost everything an iPhone can do and a whole lot more!

Many thanks for your support, your £5 iTunes voucher has been shipped out to you.

With compliments, Tim Cook.

Great price! Leave it charged and in your car as part of a winter car kit

Good find OP, heat added. It is quite incredible that one can buy a perfectly good cell phone for a fiver.

I'm looking for a cheap phone for my son to have that is able to play a couple of downloaded games as well, ie Pokemon kind of games - would this phone have enough memory/storage to be able to download a few games? Thank you.

There's another one. He quite obviously didn't compare a £5 phone to an iphone. He made a very valid point. But quick, get your iphone hater comment in. Make yourself look cool for the cool kids.

You are wasting your time. These people literally take any oportunity to bash a phone they don't use and won't buy. It's the "cool" thing to do. Dude made a valid point and used iphone as an example where he could have used any expensive phone and like a moth to the flame in come the Apple haters. We get it - you don't like them. It doesn't make you any better than any one else.

People are so desperate to bash the iphone. He could have used any high end phone as an example. He made a fair point.

I dont hate apple but when you start comparing an old model phone for a fiver that will do a LOT of people to a just released phone that is overkill for peoples needs THAT is when you get people commenting.

If this were a post about another latest model phone it would be completely different but why would you even think about comparing an iphone 7 to an old phone that costs £5 brand new ?

I would still be happy with my Nokia N95 if my mum didnt run it over with her car.

and if you want something to plug your headphones into pick up any phone other than the iphone 7

btw, have apple released those airpods yet ? :smile:

Nobody else got one then ? What a shocker .. cold from me, not that it makes a jot of difference. Single item, single store, single person "deal".

Ditto that. :-)

​were these sim free to ?

Hahahahaha, joker!, lol.

Hehehe, I already upgraded to one of these more than 1 year back as an unlocked upgrade Phone, lol.

The Phone isn't bad (could be better mind?), but 1 for only £5?, NICE! (the one I formally bought it for, let's just say you can now potentially buy up to 10 of them/these now?), lol. :-)

For a fiver it's fine, simple. :-)

I bought one for £29.99 a while back. Good wee phone for all that I want it to do. Have upgraded to Windows 10 and it works great. Sorry I didn't wait and get one for £5.

NICE!, need one. :-)

He isn't comparing this to an iPhone 7, read his response in full.



He is not! Read the damn comment in full.

Devro made a valid point DEFENDING the purchase of this phone, iSheep are one thing but idiots that jump on the let's hate apple bandwagon when someone posts a comment even mentioning an iPhone really **** me off.

Sure, buy the iPhone 7 if you want something for the 'future'. By that I mean until Apple decide its time for you to buy the latest rebranding of their iPhone by giving updates that slow down older versions of their iPhones. But nonetheless, the masses will be camping outside their stores in hopes of getting it on release day.

435 actually isn't an awful phone at all. Camera is alright as long as it's a nice day but don't expect the world. Cheapo Windows phones are far generally more usable (read: smoother running, not to do with the actual operation of either OS) than cheapo Android phones.

It's crazy how the Apple haters see the word IPhone and suddenly they're going all out on apple product owners because they have a difference in mobile preference.

OH LOOK THERE'S A GOOSE!

LETS CHASE IT!!!!

good cheap phone and hot from me but just to let you know the battery drains quickly

And what would you call someone who lacked the ability to actually read the comment they're replying to?

By orange I assume you mean colour and not EE's old 3G network called Orange?

Whereabouts would this phone be, upstairs in the normal phone section?

Not anywhere in Glasgow

This a steal. Windows always gets updated.

release the geese :smiley:

"If you want something which has a long future ahead of it, buy an iPhone 7."

Yeah a long future like till the iPhone 7 + or 7s comes out.

That's the same point Devro was making right?

​sure in a years time, a lot of iPhone 7 users will buy the next phone apple release and for £5 this will do some people.

it's a case of horses for courses.

I know I for one can run all the apps I need on a 435, just not a fan of the windows phones, I phones too expensive and I'm more than happy with an android for around £150, which has done it's job for this last year and most likely next year also

Stardate 94452.52 Cap's Log: the frothing has begun..

I don't think the phones were being 'compared'. I think it was a very fair comment.

Hilarious comparing an iPhone 7 to a cheap phone for a fiver! I trust you're working in the Apple Store today and struggling for commission :laughing:

​lol only an isheep would compare a £700 phone to a £5 one

Just rang Bury an they no longer stock it. For those interested/able to find them, CEX buy them for £25

Do you know if Heanor, Ilkeston or Hucknall have any in stock op?
