mate, ignore them. e2save are amazing

this is dropping quickly in price isn't it!

This is my deal but I got it with mobiles.co.uk feeder company of carphonewarehouse.except mine was 200 for handset 6gigg ult ult 30 pounds a month with possible 42 pounds cash back.so this deal for me obviously hurts but I'll just add to the heat because my time machine has a puncture :disappointed:

Seems pretty decent. Half tempted to sell my iPhone 7 plus and get the new iPad. Then get this on contract. Having had a mess around on this phone, much prefer it then the iPhone 7. Just need some iOS device as I prefer the games and photo apps personally.
Big heat from me, good find.

E2save.com have some terrible reviews online.

mate, ignore them. e2save are amazing

this is dropping quickly in price isn't it!

Shame it's O2 but surprised how much this has dropped already, wonder why

£35 quidco

They do, though some of them seem a bit unfair.
To their credit, they've responded personally to every single one, which you don't always get.

I'd be tempted anyway.

I have had some horrendous customer service issues with them.
All regards cashback though.
Eventually sorted but as this is not a cashback I might be tempted

Is it 4G data?

Extremely good price for a S8! Decent data also, surprised to see such a good deal so soon.

What's O2 like for reception & 4g?

Good deal!

wow. great deal considering the allowances and how recently released the device is

Can you get this deal in the orchid grey?

Can I port my existing EE number with rhis?

Will this phone come locked to o2 or can I stick another sim card in it from someone like 3/ee? Cheers

i have used E2save before, not had any issues

Thankyou thankyou thankyou, ordered as soon as I saw this. Seems an absolute bargain to me.

Ordered at 3, dispatched already for delivery tomorrow :smiley:

I posted the original EE deal, however I might bite at this, just thinking whether 6GB will be enough....as I use approx. 5GB now.

Thank you

Brilliant deal

Any similar deals on the plus model thanks

oh no. went for s8 Italy amazon for 523 nd it's just been dispatched. this seems better deal.

FINALLY pulled the trigger on the S8 - been delaying it and lurking for deals for so long, almost went with the Italy deal, but so grateful that I waited, this is such a good deal.

I usually buy phones sim-free as it usually works out cheaper and I was going to do the same with the S8 - but at this total contract cost there's no way I can get a cheaper total cost over 24 months going sim-free

Heat for the price. Good phone, but very disappointed with the gf's S8. Quite buggy and lags at times and what were they thinking with the finger print scanner, such a hassle.

That's some serious delusion.



Apple blinkers!!

Damn just wish it was Three or EE with this much data as need at least 3G in rural areas. :disappointed:

Still hot from me though for people ok with O2's data coverage.

That what your girlfriend was advised?

how much would it cost to return to Amazon Italy? may get this instead. currently on EE so would give wife O2 SIM. but need phone unlocking. any ideas?

that is a good price, can't believe they can sell it cheaper than the o2 network itself!

They are under the same umbrella as Carphone Warehouse

dispatch email received, free Sunday delivery incoming :smiley:

E2save avoid at all costs.
Utter sharks.Poor customer service and lying staff.

This or the EE one for £32.99 a month and 8GB.......decisions decision

The problem with buying an Android phone from O2 is they will be slow to give critical firmware updates, so you'll constantly have a phone which is vulnerable to hacking - whilst Samsung release updates monthly, O2 are rubbish at it.

All the networks have this problem, but O2 are by far the slowest to update. I would pay more to get one SIM Free.

E2save don't use the European models

What is the roaming costs on this?

Thanks for that - I may look into that.

do people actually pay that amount of money for a mobile phone?

then we will probably get a better phone lol

This is my deal but I got it with mobiles.co.uk feeder company of carphonewarehouse.except mine was 200 for handset 6gigg ult ult 30 pounds a month with possible 42 pounds cash back.so this deal for me obviously hurts but I'll just add to the heat because my time machine has a puncture :disappointed:

keep in mind the price increase RPI you will have every year.

I got the s7 through e2save and all went smoothly. Factory sealed phone turned up, UK warranty etc

How do I go about porting my number, couldn't see any options during checkout. Is this something that I can do when the phone arrives?

I'm loving o2 signal great indoors & outdoors & 4g . Best thing I've do after leaving Virgin

That's fine then the balls already rolling :smiley:

One other thing I must say is if your a heavy user like I am.the battery life is shocking I'm struggling to get 8 hours out of it.ive had all the galaxy's and I must say this is the worst by far I will probably need a battery change inside 6 months :confused:

I have the gel case off eBay dan only a couple of pounds

Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/232218234468

great

I can't see any info about whether it's 3G or 4G? Probably 3G then.

Does anyone know if a contract start the day you buy it or the day you activate the SIM?
I have a months notice on my contract and I don't feel like paying for 2 contracts at the same time, if it can be avoided.

I'm stuck at the payments stage. Put my info in and then get a screen showing which cards I can pay with and details of the order on the right but nothing else. Refreshing does nothing.

Is Quidco definitely £35 - it does mention £35 but also £25?

02 isn't wonderful at my work. But a cracking deal, especially if somebody wants make the jump from a S7 contract, Heat added

Not necessarily (I don't think O2 lock their phones). It depends on if the network has put their own firmware on it. The best way to check is looking at the software details on the phone. Worth checking with e2save to see if they do SIM free phones or unbranded (CPW used to do unbranded ones).

Do many people routinely shift between the different operating systems? I'm totally invested in Google apps and have been for many years. I wouldn't even consider an iPhone to be a competitor to any given android phone. I do understand there are a suite of Google apps available on iOS, but even still ...

this deal has expired i think :disappointed:

I've bought phones through them before, never had a problem. Seem legit to me. Isn't it just the carphone warehouse with another name?

"Because e2save is an online division of The Carphone Warehouse, you’re backed up by the reliability of one of the most trusted names on the high street."

Taken from their website.

I got this deal. But I was wondering how long until I would get an email about it being dispatched. All I have got is an order confirmation email

The bars actually mean nothing. You either have a connection or you don't, connection quality is not something that the bars represent.

yes people buying expensive phones on contract (dont even mentioned they overpay) and feel rich and great LOL

I've swapped back and forth between operating systems a few times.
I think I generally prefer iOS for its stability and slightly higher quality of apps in the app store. I do like android for its customisation options, and I'm pretty tempted by the s8 due to the design and screen.

Take out the cost of buying this phone if you were to buy it SIM free at £689, and this is unlimited calls and 6GB for £3.50 a month. Hardly over-paying on contract, is it? You just wouldn't get that SIM only.

I didn't know the firmware updates came from the network? I guess I'm insulated from all that stuff with an iPhone. I'm looking at this but that's a bit off-putting.

It makes me laugh when people ask questions like that. It's like when my Facebook friends ask something like "who is Ariana Grande anyway, I've never heard of her."
Well done for being superior. Now google her and stop trying to show off about how obscure your tastes are.

Ok its not really anything like that, actually. *steps away from the keyboard*

No idea, need to have a look at websites, Ebay, sphock etc and see what they are going for. Won't be selling for a little while anyway. Need to transfer a lot from the phone.

Good deal shame it's on the 02 network :disappointed: Even EE 3G is much faster than than 02 so called '4G' .

depends where you live, EE in my area is **** terrible compared to O2

Old camera attached to new phone. What a shame!

How do you deal with continuity of contacts, photos, email, music, browser memory etc? Google apps on iOS? Google photos is like my recorded history for the last few years. I'd definitely want continuity on that.

Not dead against trying an iPhone ... actually thought about trying an SE recently.

Heads up deal , thanks

Used and still have Nokia and nearly 70 yrs so good deal for those not by keyboard all day

|You can transfeer all your important data to iphone and still carry on using google photos like you did before.
These days moving from android to ios and other way around is a lot more easier then it used to be few years ago.

Is this factory unlocked?

Can't seem to order. It just goes in a loop after entering details....:disappointed:

Just waiting on the phone to be free and I'll bite

It's a good deal, I'm already on a 12 month sim only contract so not for me :smiley:

I personally think it's cheaper to buy the phone sim free (Italian amazon) and add sim only contract to it as there are more options that way, but not everyone has the luxury to pay for the phone outright, so it will be a better deal for them.

I was thinking about getting this as I needed a new contract for minutes and figured I could maybe sell the phone to offset the cost of the contract.

When I did the maths if I sold the phone on ebay it would be £500-£550. If we're conservative and say you get £475 after paypal fees, ebay fees and shipping that means you're paying £300 for 2 years worth of SIM only as this deal is around £775 in total.

That equates to £12.50 per month for just the SIM component.

I could've signed up to EE for £5 a month for u/l calls, texts and 4GB data, which is near enough this package.
In the end I signed up for three at £5.25 for the same allowance after TCB.

Am I missing something here which makes my calculations way off? I pay around £100 a year for my SIMO roughly so it's costing me an extra £573 to get this phone. Amazon Italy had the S8 for £503, which is cheaper. Plus you aren't stuck in a contract for 2 years so you can switch SIMO if you're not happy.

The only benefit with this is you aren't paying it all upfront, but you could buy the S8 from Amazon Italy on a 0% purchases card anyway?

Can anyone knock my logic down on this one? I went for the S7 at christmas for £284 with the free speaker on the o2 refresh deal which seemed like a no-brainer and was over the moon as the phone was £450 on ebay at the time, this one I'm struggling to understand.

I odered this deal this morning but still not tracking Quidco any idea how long it normally takes? I hadn't used Quidco before but the £35 really made it worth registering.

Hi. Great deal. Could anyone recommend a good case for this phone? I'm always dropping phones and these are prone to breakages apparently....

Don't forget to cancel your auto renew phone insurance after a month :smile:

My sim only contract runs out next month.
Wondering if I should just order this now and get my number switched?

I was looking at the Sony ZX Premium with the 4K screen. Decisions, Decisions

Off topic I know, but what's the lowest price anyone has seen for a new S7 (SIM free) since the S8 came out? UK version preferably. Have done some Googling obviously but you never know if someone has come across it somewhere that isn't high up in the Google search returns. Keep checking John Lewis, purely for the 2 years guarantee, but their price is still up at £499.

Hi mate. very well thought through comment. much appreciated for sharing. Do you know if the SIM Only offers you mention are still available? both are better than what Mrs is paying atm with Virgin Mobile, £8 month for 1200 mins, unltd mins and 500mb of data.

I have never used Quidco, which discount is it with will take off £35?

Would it be the one which says:

£35 for all
connected pay monthly mobile phone contracts (excluding ID Mobile) on https://www.quidco.com/e2save/ ?

https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/uk.trustpilot.com/amp/review/www.e2save.com. very bad review....

Yeah the Three deal is still active - it's £9 a month but £45 topcashback after 6 months which takes the effective cost down to £5.25:

Re: other comments about faff of warranty from buying from Italy previous posters that have bought from Europe have had the same Samsung repair process as one that was bought within the UK.

24 month contracts to me just feel like way too much of a commitment to me given the speed at which technology moves along and the quality of offerings from Chinese smartphones such as Xiaomi.
Don't get me wrong, if the phone worked out at really cheap, like £200-300 or something I would have been all over it.

Yeah agree with your comment. Some people just don't have the time to work out how good a deal they are getting because they are busy and are happy to pay a higher price if it means they don't need to think any more about it.

My calculations were just trying to break down the phone and the contract components to work out whether you're getting the phone and contract abnormally cheap, or just cheap.

The o2 refresh deals are easier to understand on this front because you're just seeing the device cost, whereas this one has the contract built into it too so less transparent.

773 quid, still a mad price for a phone that can end up in the wash.

£200-300? no flagship phone close to release would work out that cheap. in fact even after a year it would probably not.

£523 from amazon.it so this contract works out at about £11/month (-phone cost) which is a decent price.

you can always sell phone anytime through 24 month contract and buy a new one SIM free. so I don't see your point of being tied in.

this is a great deal as you are paying monthly and not all at once for phone.

Didn't realise this came with a free month that we have to cancel?

Perfectly reasonable for the best phone currently available for those of us that have never washed our phones in 23 yrs of mobile ownership then. :wink:

This is HUKD, we live and die by prices that are ridiculously cheap. The S7 for £282 on the o2 refresh with a free Bluetooth speaker and potentially £92 TCB at Christmas was for a flagship phone way less than a year after release so these things do happen.

If I wanted a new contract phone and was about to pull the trigger on a 'meh' deal then this would be a godsend if I stumbled upon it.

Get it from Amazon.it for £520 then get a Virgin-Plusnet sim for £10pm. Still cheaper and not binding, plus a much better network (EE)

Had a Huawei, had a Xiaomi both brands dont even come close to Samsung quality. If you just want an average phone you can go for Chinese. Besides some of them are pretty close to the S8 in price (see Huawei p10 plus/Mate 9 pro or Xiaomi Mi Mix)

I have the Lenovo ZUK Z2 and Samsung Galaxy S7 edge and to be honest they have their own pros and cons each so disagree that Samsung is a mythical pinnacle in telecommunications which is on another level. I use both regularly..

The only thing putting me off is the reviews
Are they really that bad???

mine turned up earlier, so far so good

Don't corner me at a Party!

I don't go to parties I'm too busy disaggregating things into their constituents.
Catch me outside, how about that?

How would I go about transferring my current number onto the new contract?

cancel current contract and ask for pac code

Thank you Do I then give the code to E2Save? Or to the provider?

Also, I know this next question is off-topic, but do all phones (samsung, sony etc) from these sites E2Save, Mobiles.co.uk come unlocked?

yes, except iphones

amazing company

Regarding the PAC code, can I order and then transfer over once I've received the new phone?

yes you can, just ring 02 and get pac code when you cancel and then 02 will swap it over

I'm paying 27pm for a s7 edge... fml

You dont have to be a fan boy to understand marketing. Posted from an s7e. Try to be a little less sensitive

thank you for the response

Used this company about 4 years ago, no problems at all, excellent.

great deal. btw, does this phone support dual sim?

I ordered this today but it says the credit check is declined. What the hell?

Same thing for me.... Never had any credit issues.

Im torn between this deal and the s7 edge deal which you're talking about. Only difference is the upfront cost - £10 for the s7 edge, £125 for this. What's your s7 edge like???

is it really that much better than an s7 edge?

Can you get the phone without buying the insurance?

I Never had a problem with E2save. Customer service was very good too.

I am so tempted but I do have the s7 edge... I love Samsung. I love how I can expand the memory for a small cost as opposed to the extortionate prices Apple charge.
should I or shouldn't I?

I've used E2Save a number of times. They're reliable.

Same

Still not received Quidco! Anyone else not tracking?

Quidco (and Topcashback) are not 100% guaranteed. Generally, you should only use cashback sites for purchases you would have made regardless of the cashback and not rely solely on getting money back to make the purchase cheaper.

In saying that, if it still hasn't tracked then you can make a claim through the website. Sometimes you have to jump through a few hoops to get cashback paid.

nothing on mine either :/

thanks fo posting this deal, ordered yesterday and today I can enjoy my new phone :smiley:

upfront cost has been changed from 125 to 150

Turns out mine got declined because I have lived at my current address for less than 3 years... Damn.

I received a "thank you for your order" email after I ordered it, but nothing else as yet. No Quidco, nothing taken from my account, no updates. It's supposed to be delivered today, apparently. Not hopeful that this will be honoured

Ordered this on Saturday as soon as I saw the deal- on the order status it still says 'details checked - pending' and 'order delivered- pending' is this the same as everyone else ? Or should I give them a ring because it was meant to be dispatched by tonight and delivered for tomorrow morning.

My order is at same stage. Will ring tomorrow if no change

damn price gone up £25 :disappointed:

With the price increase, I have gone with the EE deal....not much more in total for 8GB

I hope it is! I ordered an expensive case and screen protector last night!

What deal is this EE deal

My order got cancelled, Im fuming, have no idea what they are on about! Anyone else had their order cancelled?
"We’re sorry but we’ve had to cancel your order as it didn’t pass our internal security checks. Internal checks are carried out for the safety of our customers and we apologise for any inconvenience caused."

i bet it's more like they've realised what a balls up they've made for having this phone so cheap tbh. I was lucky I got in early and had it delivered yesterday.

Does anyone know if i would still be entitled to get my 30% nhs discount if i get a contract from e2save?

wish s8 plus had a similar deal :/

Although its a hot deal I still think that come next month the sales of these would drop heavily due to iphone coming out within two months or so and people would be curious to see what tricks apple would have up their sleeves since they havent changed much since 2014. I was seriously considering this until the price increased by £25 now I am staying put and wouldn't get one unless its a seriously good offer like the full package for £500 or so.

I can almost guarantee it won't go cheaper than this for a long time.

With the £25 price increase in the up front cost of the handset, the EE deal is looking more attractive.

Not a lot in it...I think over the course of the contract the ee one works out to £842 and O2 £798..Just depentds on whether you prefer to pay up front or or increased monthly cost.

I went with the EE deal in the end. Dispatched and should be with me tomorrow.

For an extra 1GB data bolt on with O2 they charge £10 p/m. So makes sense to go with 8GB for like an extra £2 p/m.

I wouldn't have expected it to go cheap either a few months from its release date but it did so maybe just maybe this is not as much of a success as it could have been who knows. I think its a great phone with some great specs and style but the same style doesnt reflect to it software especially when you experience the unpolished android apps when compared to apple which I will be honest are slight hindrance for potential buyers.

For those who have ordered, just a bit of peace of mind:
Went to cancel my order yesterday and found that E2save's customer service is fantastic. For some reason the package had been dispatched on Monday for delivery on Tuesday, despite me selecting a delivery for this Saturday. Messaged online on Monday night saying I wish to cancel my order and as a bit annoyed that I now have to pay to send the phone back since it was delivered much earlier than I requested (I cancelled for unrelated reasons and decided to before I knew about the dispatch).

Thinking they may take a while, I decided to phone them the next day. Someone picked up right away, virtually no wait. I explained the situation and they were quick to apologise and contact the delivery company to cancel the delivery attempt that day and instead route it back to E2Save. No cost to myself and a full refund. They said a refund will be given within 5 working days.
Then my online message got a response that day too and they already knew that I had spoken to someone and cancelled already. I was more impressed that they responded online so quickly - from my experience online messaging customer service is pretty slow at most companies.

I cancelled for other reasons, but I would gladly recommend them or buy from them again.

Has anybody's Quidco tracked? Ordered two over two different transactions and neither showing up.

quidco not tracked here, may have to claim

Mine didn't track either. going to send a claim

I've just had an o2 letter confirming my contract but only says 3gb data. Anyone had that?

Yep same here. I need to check with e2save to find out what's happened.

Yes just got the same letter anyone sorted this out yet?
