Refurb condition described as 'like new', and is a 14 day return.
To get this price you need to take out a data contract, which you can cancel straight away and forces you to pay off the remainder of the device plan.
Device plan: £2 per month + £4.99 upfront = £52.99
Cheapest data plan: £5 per month (500Mb)
Not done this before myself, so I think that's how it works, but there have been other deals posted along these lines before.
EDIT: Quidco has tracked at £10, though I'll believe it when it's in my bank account

The fact it didn't get much heat probably helped those that actually managed to get one. Glad to be of service :smiley:

I think the operator you get makes a big deal. Remember these are probably inexperienced, fairly low salary call centre staff with 2-6 weeks training so go easy on them. I've done such jobs myself and the customers you speak with have no notion as to how little you know what you're doing.
The guy I spoke with for my S7 I just told him I want to pay off the device plan balance, then cancel the airtime. He was a little confused at first talking about returning the device because he thought I was just paying a contract settlement fee and I explained I'm still in the 14 day change your mind period, I want to pay the £288 settlement to keep the device, then I wanted him to cancel the airtime plan.
As soon as I was patient with him and laid it out plainly he knew exactly what I wanted, took my payment and confirmed the airtime was cancelled, then advised me there would be a pro-rata airtime bill.
I have an email confirming paying off the device, an email confirming airtime cancellation and I'm just waiting on my final bill to make sure it's all ok.
When you're speaking with the advisor just remember it's likely a young guy or gal, very little training, in a job they probably get talked to like dirt all day, trying to get their head around an unusual request from us as the customer, that if we're being honest we probably haven't explained very well so just be patient, and make sure you confirm the details with them before ending the call. And also say thankyou to them :smiley:

Yes, but you can cancel the airtime plan, so £4.99 upfront, pay off device plan straight away for £2 x 24 months (£48), and thats it. Don't need it but ordered, thanks OP.

2 x 24 = 48
+ 4.99 = 52.99
You cancel the data plan.

Don't think they will let it go that cheap as other option is £77 upfront + £5 data plan. Anyone can advise on this?

Ordered, can't envisage any issues. But with delivery tomorrow and distance selling act, should be covered.

For £52.99 it's good price for a Samsung tablet . I've ordered one for my 9yr old. Her old Lenovo has a charging port issue.

The device is £2 a month on top of the £5 data SIM so cancel the SIM and pay off the £2 multiples by the 24 months making it £48 plus the initial upfront £4.99 for the device

Can't see it being an issue either some people won't cancel the SIM and overrun on their data likely were they will make their money
