Respectfully disagree, I've gone for 64gb since it was available on the 4S, moving through a 5 then a 6s.

The reason? I've got an iTunes music library approx 28gb in size that I've maintained since moving to a mac in 2006. Back on Windows now (for the HTPC at least) but that's a good half of the available storage on a 64gb handset gone before adding anything else. It then means you've got flexibility to keep a photo library of several GB (backs up to Google photos when on home wifi so can clear it out annually).

Games are often 1gb plus as well.

If you can't get wifi at work or you commute via public I can understand you might use more if you're sat staring at your phone for hours (seems to be symbolic of modern life).

I guess we'll all have our own usage stories but there was always a trend on this site of people favouring android phones that took micro sd cards for additional media storage. Spotify/Deezer etc are great but it seems people still like to have access to their own locally stored digital media.

What will eventually prove interesting (IMHO) is what happens when free wifi is even more readily available - public transport, city centres etc. Even on the cheaper phone contracts, providers give away unlimited minutes/texts even though people aren't using them anymore (due to FaceTime, Whatsapp, Skype). When that wifi is available on tap, how are the providers going to justify charging people £30/£40 a month for what is effectively just a 24 month payment vehicle for a non-subsidised handset and a couple of gig of data.

Cool thanks, worth noting that it's now 2gb data for anyone interested, seems a good deal

can anyone recommend getting this phone then?

This was posted nearly a month ago.

Clicked on the site and immediately beneath it says

Save £10 using code: 10OFFSE

Should bring it back down to the posted price (Free up front).

It tells me the phone is £10 upfront and £20.99 for 2gb data a month..

I did. It was flawless. I honestly couldn't tell if it was a refurb or if they just sent a new one.

They will do yes. They are an online brand of Carphone Warehouse so not a Mickey Mouse outfit. I ordered it myself and first bill to present is Aug 2017. Add a note into your Calendar and you wont forget :smiley:

Do you know if they honour the cashback please?

Same here. My teenage has got a capped contract and I'd hate him to run up extra data charges watching youtube outside

How can you get by these days on 1GB of data?? Cold.

Forgive me if I don't think you're ideally placed to take the moral high ground on that one.

This is getting a little silly and childish now isn't it?

I don't believe I questioned your maths, only your manners.

And I gave him a decent answer along with linking him to the deal. In this day and age most people use over a gig. Not saying your deal is all that bad but, but paying a pound and taking this out sim free works out far cheaper carol Vorderman!

More gripping than trying to start fights with strangers on the internet, I guess.

The guy reasonably asked you to qualify your statement of 'paying over the odds' and you launched into some rather pathetic name calling.

Taken out this deal I meant... Sounds like someone leads a very "gripping" life to correct people.

"The now expired £1 LIFE MOBILE DEAL YOU NOOB! Sounds like we have a angry Cricket who's taken out this deal and now acting a t*** because he's made a mistake"

Sounded like a spoilt brat when I replied to your comment. It's expired Google it! All I can suggest as that deal I mentioned expired a while back is keep looking up sim only deals on uswitch. It's far more up to date than this, or for a little more a month. check out my Plusnet deal I uploaded a week ago with 1500 mins unlimited texts and 3GB of 4g data. It's had some attention :smirk:http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/plusnet-mobile-sim-only-1500-mins-unlimited-texts-3gb-data-4g-8-50-uswitch-exclusive-2628525

Hmmm, where to begin with that...?

1. I didn't realise anyone other than 12 year old boys on their Xbox called each other NOOB, but I guess I'm learning forum etiquette all the time, being such a NOOB.
2. Could you point me to this magical £1 deal as I can't find it. Now that could be that the search facility on the iPhone app isn't brilliant, or it could just be that I'm such a NOOB.
3. Even if you can point me to it, you yourself have said it's expired so it isn't much use anyway is it? So can you tell me what other deal I can get that's significantly better than this one?
4. I'm currently thinking of switching to an iPhone SE so am browsing for deals. I haven't yet signed up for this so am not 'angry' that I've made a mistake.
5. How am I acting a t*** when all I've asked is for you to justify your comment that this deal is paying way over the odds, without backing it up in any way? I'd have been more than happy if you could have shown me a better deal but that would appear to not be the case would it?

Not saying it's a existing deal was correcting Cricket for saying "unless you're paying under 4.30" which I am

Me? How? Not at all I've taken this out with John Lewis 2 year Warrenty and £1 old life couldn't be happier! ... What on earth you on about?

unless you have a time machine there isn't much point saying a deal that was expired over 6 months ago.

Pot, kettle, black?

The now expired £1 LIFE MOBILE DEAL YOU NOOB! Sounds like we have a angry Cricket who's taken out this deal and now acting a t*** because he's made a mistake

How on earth is this "paying way over the odds"? This has already been explained above.

Buying the phone from Argos costs £400.
The total cost of this deal over the 24 months is £504.
So you're getting 24 months of unlimited texts, unlimited minutes & 1GB of data for a touch over £100.

Can you point me to a sim only deal that gives the same for less than £4.30/month?

Buy it from Argos sim free and put a cheap sim only in paying way over odds here

I have this phone, best iPhone ever for me

Try now - I have just ordered grey on same contract.

expired

Looks like a good offer... i finish my current contract in the first week of April; does anybody know if i can get this deal before then? Do 'early upgrades' still exist these days?

For those who want more data, on the same site 64gb iPhone SE (refurb) on Vodafone ... No upfront phone costs, Unlimited Mins/Text and 24GB of data for £22.50 a month after cash back redemption (have to submit some bills for rebate via cheque) . That's pretty amazing in my book

Here

I disagree - 1GB for me is plenty, I have wifi and home and at work - it's not as if I go out into town and start streaming movies.

Again, people keep saying buy it sim free and get a sim only deal. More than happy too, but will somebody show me a better deal. :-)

Good deal, there's an ID mobile refurb deal for 15.50 a month as well that I went for last week.

Your text here

The £4/month comes from the fact that the £103 (after taking into account the £400 cost of the phone) gets you 24 months of service on this deal. £103/24 = £4.29.
Using your example, after the first 12 months at £7.50 on the Plusnet deal you've still got to pay for another 12 months at that £7.50 to receive the equivalent length of service as you get with this deal. Therefore your total cost over the 24 months would be £400 + £7.50*24 = £580. So your method is nigh on £80 dearer over the 2 year period isn't it?

Not entirely sure what that comment is in aid of, but the notification banner at the top says 301 people voted hot. Assuming we still get +2 power per vote, there's a substantial number who've voted cold for you.

:stuck_out_tongue:

same deal without the voucher code was cold. Thin margins around here.

0% card...problem solved....Hell even unshackled do DiY offers...

Another reason to buy sim free and then get a sim only deal...

I swear if someone made an iDildo you guys would vote hot.....

Meant to quote rather than like sorry, but as above, you're getting 24 months' service with this and I guess if nowt else, not having to find £400 up front.

Seriously i had 2 lines opened 1 after another. Both was the iphone 7 128gb from mobiles.co.uk one was 26.99per month and another was 33.49 per month. It was 1 week apart.

good deal, but it seems you can't change the colour of the handset? when you select a different variety the tariffs change and never drop back down to the £20.99

This is a 24 month contract though, isn't it? I worked it out at £4.37 a month for the contract, assuming that you can get a new 64GB for £399.

I cannot see this particular deal.

Emphasis on the new customers bit. I put through 2 orders in my name and spent the next week trying to sort things out. Once you've been with EE for 3 months you can have two lines.

Don't know where you get the £4 aspect from.

503-400 = 103
/ say 12 months (as thats the max duration of a sim only)
= £8.58
Plusnet which is EE offers 1000m unlimited SMS, 2GB data for £7.50 (1 month contract)
FreedomPop offers unlimited mins and unlimited SMS 2.25GB data for £7 (1 month contract)
....Also people on existing sim only's could probably get a decent retention deal too

..hell you could even find a deal with Quidco and sweeten it even more.

Ok £400 for the phone so can you please tell me where you can get unlimited text unlimited calls and 1 gb do data for £4 a month? I know it won't be enough data for lots but it's still a good deal if you are wanting an iPhone se

How can this be called a "Hot" deal with 1GB of data?

Surely its better to buy it sim free from somewhere like John Lewis who was selling it £399 couple of week back and get sim only deal??

Apple is overpriced, live with it.

Bought a SE 16gb for my daughter, she loves it as she prefers the smaller screen phones. Too small for me though.:smile:

Keep an on the BT website. Assuming you are a BT customer every 2-3 months the offers coincide (£60 Amazon voucher and £52.50 TopCashback) giving one year of unl/unl/4gb for under £1pm. We did it for my wife and the voucher came after 60 days (hand to apply for it) and the cash back was paid after 90 days.

Saw this deal yesterday when looking for a good deal. Personally I don't like the SE as it's more or less an iPhone 5s shell with 6s technology. For me the better deal was the iphone 7 even though it's a refurb. Still a good deal for those who want a cheap deal... heat from me :man:

So many people bite so easily on here. Bet the guy who put this comment is lhao

Feeling lonely?

Good deal, shame this code doesn't work on the 2gb version that's also £21/month!

Mobiles.co.uk have taken my business for the past 4 contracts. They seem to generally always have the best price. This is a great deal for an se. Have some more heat :smiley:

"Uneducated" because buying a phone you need some smarts to use is uneducated. iPhones have you moddycoddled with how simple they are. Keeping you in tight restraints so you can't go outside of your safezone. Working for a tech support call centre iPhone users are the worst. They believe nothing can go wrong with their phones they genuinely believe they are impenetrable and faultless.

I think you might have missed his irony... :smile:

Who does a sim only deal with a 1gb of data a month for less than £4.37 a month (assuming that you get the phone for £399) for two years? I'd be interested in that.

Certainly see your point. My iTunes library is in the 100s of gb so only have a sub-set on the phone. But still 1gb per month data is only a £1pm value if that, I think in fairness a lot of people will exceed that. Note that as I've said it can be doubled to 2gb for a shade over £1pm but far better sim only deals are available I.e. Buy the phone and go sim only.

But 1gb per month is really only a £1 value if that (BT SIM only regularly available at 4gb for less than £1 a month).

Super fast phone I have one of these, and cases are cheap too, which is an advantage,or maybe not I have about 10 so far (addicted!)

Good comment. I don't think public wifi will be widely available for quite a few years (maybe in the larger cities) I went abroad recently and was informed via text that calls were £2pm and £1pm to RECEIVE... which I thought was a bit harsh in this day and age, which basically mean't using the free wifi at the hotel and facetime was the only option I was comfortable with. On vodafone btw.. I don't use a mobile hardly at all, so no point in a contract for me, I have wifi 99% of the time so whatsapp and facetime is more than adequate for me. How are phone companies going to continue with these contracts I wonder...

Incidentally, there appears to be an epidemic of people staring at phones, I don't mind so much until people get into lifts or stand in doorways or bump into you - unable to take their eyes of a screen, it's crazy.. I went to the MEN arena a few weeks back for a show, during the interval, I could have counted at least 200 people around me all staring into phones, looks very very weird. Rows and rows of people on phones, and to think when I was in school computers were for geeks haha!

I have 2 contracts with EE no problem there.

​What a d***!

2 year contract!

Respectfully disagree, I've gone for 64gb since it was available on the 4S, moving through a 5 then a 6s.

Worth noting that for £1 a month extra effectively the data can be doubled to 2gb, supporting my earlier comment (same per month but £50 upfront rather than £25, before the £25 discount is applied).

Can the data be capped? between this and the iPhone 7 the other day, I'm getting my daughter one. but worried about the potential bill, she's on a Tesco capped SIM only deal just now

I applaud you! I don't think I use my 6S 64gb a huge amount but I use 3gb with normal use and 4-6gb if I happen to download / stream / tether a lot that month. My point really is that 64gb is going to get filled somehow, at least some of which will be via the mobile network.

The two correlate because a bigger capacity implies in general greater usage, and more usage would imply needing a lot of data, and 1gb is paltry if streaming, uploading/downloading photos, videos, some video calling etc. With moderate use I get through 3ish gb a month (no wifi at work).

Just warning those interested that 1gb is a pretty low usage amount and really is only worth £1-2 a month.

Is this the standard plan or the Essential one? The reason I ask is that if you look at the list of tariffs there is an identical one listed at £25.99 per month with an up front cost of £30.

great deal,excellent phone.
for people who prefer small phones,the iPhone SE is perfect.
very capable,powerful and fast.

Good deal, heat added

Also depends what phone you have, most phones are using data in the background by default.

I have 20gb limit and use 75% of my data as my home internet is slow and when out and about, connection to wifi takes too long imo

good price

Handsets are cheap. I suppose if you can find a good 2 year deal with a decent phone yiu could just ditch the contract. I've had too many good O2 refresh deals, so could never go back to a contract with a handset.

No, but £20 cashback at quidco.

BTW I went for the 2gb deal recently and phone came next day. Also FYI EE don't let new customers have 2 lines and it causes all sorts of confusion.

What I am saying is show me a a mobile contract that isn't 2 years with a handset included, SIMO do not come with handsets included..

I wondered that too!

Has anyone figured out a discount code for the 2gb a month version of the deal ? (Others may have also posted the deal too)

Great deal. I think the SE is one of the best phones ever released. The ONLY problem I find with iOS is that you can't browse the file system like you can on android. I deal with a large amount of doc files and I store them in my documents folder on android whereas it's a big struggle to store them properly on iOS.

Not for me, or most people I know. Two year contracts are rarely good value. No option to get cheap simo deals.

code not working for me

64gb capacity but 1gb data per month... will never be sufficient unless one has almost permanent unlimited wifi available even when out and about.

Stupid comment, I have an iPhone 6s Plus and I still prefer android for some stuff.

Just because you only buy iPhones it does not mean that android is bad!

I love this site but people should vote because it is a good deal or not, not because someone doesn't like a product

There's rumours of Apple releasing 32 and 128GB versions of the SE in March and dropping these - it could be linked to that as it is a good price at £20.99 with no upfront.

​Hahah! The irony of that comment. I guess it hasn't clicked yet

Hot deal! thanks for find.

It'a good phone and a great deal. I've had one since September last year and would thoroughly recommend it.

Nice find hot.

Voted hot good deal here but will be voted cold by the apple haters you could put MOBILES.CO.UK

Reeeeeefurb...

No data...
