Can you trade an iPhone that won't even switch on?

Yes I have an old?? (Not) iPhone 6 that won't power on. This one does just outside it's warranty. Also can I get money of a note 8

I knew my iPhone 4 will still be useful to me. And they called me a hoarder

It has to power on and shouldnt be blacklisted.

Any iPhone??? I still have an iPhone 3g.. should still count right??

I already have the Samsung s8 plus big mistake going back to Apple asap

This is Samsung literally making itself an iPhone killer.

I'm a Samsung man through and through now. Part and parcel I suppose....xx

so, I was thinking, we restrict access of dangerous goods like knives and guns, we aren't allowed to take water through airport security, tobacco advertising is banned, and satnavs attached to your windscreen can be determined to be illegal or something if its placed somewhere that a police officer might personally consider a bad place but based on his judgement and not a pre defined list....


...however we are still able to buy a Samsung phone.

at least we are still allowed to live dangerously in one way, Samsung roulette.

lol

Phone cost £533
4gb SIM only £10x24=£240
Total for this would be £773.

Why not just get the above deal then sell your iPhone?

If you work for one of the EPP Partners beware it is still cheaper to buy those phones as they provide 15% and you do not need to send iphone to them. An example screenshot below;

But if you don't have access to this, it might be worth it, however prices of the devices have been cheaper through Amazon IT etc...

Buy it new for £500, not a great deal imho.
Unless you wanna pay in instalments...

These have been cropping up for about £500 from Amazon recently supplied and despatched by them directly.
You're paying more and having to give away your old iPhone that could sell on eBay for good money.
Amazon Italy have one in purple for just under £540 right now even:
amazon.it/gp/…c=1

If you want 0% just take out a 0% credit card.

Am I blind cant see iPhone 6 on the list?

I find it funny , how are you saving £150+ when you train in you're iPhone, you can get the phone £586 from Samsung any how, jokers

Its £586 without training anyhow. Jokers Samsung , were is the deal there, save £50 wow

Hi Can someone repost the link as I can't get it to work. Thanks

Hi, i need help please to get the link as it's not showing how it's work

Shame they don't let you trade in Sony xperia phones

Would it be worth investing in an old iPhone for the monthly installment? I couldn't afford to pay £500 in one go

And about a week after this 'deal' ends, the RRP will lower to £530 ish.

dude; write to apple...quote Sale of Goods Act and they'll replace your phone. Be tenacious.

Have a look on the website and find out, post back letting us all know, feel happy and warm knowing that you helped others.

Where to go to do the trading plzzz???

Got confused guys, I thought you meant something else. My mistake.
£793 for the Vodaphone deal and selling an iphone is a better deal.

No worries

Me too

Guess that means I could trade in my iPhone 4 with a smashed screen.

IPhone 4 and above.

Please refrain from voting this deal hot, Samsung want you to forget how hot a galaxy phone can get.

Considering I paid £505 new from Amazon Italy with no trade in, this is getting more heat than I'd expect.

How much heat did the £505 deal from Amazon get?

You need to get it from your employer as you'll also need a particular password

At least a few ppl on this linked thread below were mistaken about this s8 deal and thought it was for the s8+ - hotukdeals.com/dea…139

no doubt because of where the line break happened in the app. It does show deal for s8 +

Is this only for the s8 or Can it be done for the note 8?

Lol! I've had both Samsungs and iPhones. Most recent one was iPhone. Then I bought the Global Version Redmi Note 4x on a whim! And, to be honest, I'm so happy with it that I won't be going back to either Samsung or iPhone. We get so ripped off here with phones and contracts, it's really not worth it.

Have you tried a different power lead? Tried holding the power and home buttons in together for a few seconds or what about plugging it in to iTunes and seeing if that does anything?

I know what you mean, I've had 5 chinese phones. Check back in with us after 12-15 months and see if it's still working how you expect it. Xiaomi are probably the best of the Chinese phones and I had one where the digitser just gave up after 12 months. Still cheap over 12 months but very annoying and inconvenient. Getting content off a phone you can't unlock as the screen doesn't work is also a challenge.

Damn have a 4s that's active locked and no idea to unlock it was a phone my son had laying around... Damn damn

For those who got this deal, did you get an email confirmation from Samsung?

A friend of mine's 2 year contract just ended (Galaxy S7) and so did her phone! It just stopped working so she has taken out another 2 year contract on an S8 at an extortionate rate. I told her she should have gone for one of these.

Where in T&C's was that mentioned? I was thinking about finding that old 3G and sending it in..

What's wrong with it ?

I paid 488

Any iPhone? This is a good deal, I have an iPhone 4 which I currently use as my back up phone. If I needed a phone a would definitely trade it in but I have only had my OnePlus 5 for about a month.

But it will be interesting to see if this deal catches on, as I could potentially make some good money on eBay for the 4.

Heat added

I don't blame you.

i hear some folks struggle to string a proper sentence together whilst using it :stuck_out_tongue:

I think it would be quite a good deal if I bought an iPhone on ebay. Average selling price is 15 -20. damaged one is even cheaper.

Would they accept a fully functioning 2g iPhone?
What's the monthly interest free breakdown?

Even Samsung wants to get their hands on your iPhone ... any iPhone!

From the website:

Total amount payable is £533 spread across a 24 month term at an interest rate of 0% p.a. (fixed) equating to monthly payments of £19.99 and an initial deposit of £53.30. 0% APR representative. Total cost of credit is £0.00.

Mobiles.co.uk have a Samsung S8 for £75 upfront (minus £10 with NODRAMA10), and £34 pm with 16gb of data + minutes & texts. This totals to £881 over 2 years and comes with a free Samsung Gear VR headset..

Surely this mobiles.co.uk deal is better than £533 (and you've traded in an old iPhone) plus lowest priced high data sim only plan (£16 pm for 20gb with BT from the looks of it). This totals at £917 over 2 years..

Not sure why this is getting heat? :unamused:

Has anyone managed to get the link to work? I cannot find out how to get this for £533

Can you post the link to the deal?

If you go to buy, the next screen asks about the trade in phone. There is a drop down menu listing Iphone 4 upwards.

A lot of people don't like 2 year contracts !

Almost wish I'd bought an IPhone at some point in my life now... Almost but, nah :joy:

Joking aside, great deal, nice find OP, heat added.

Indeed. Regular price, can't understand why people voting hot - NOT A DEAL as can easily buy for same price without giving away old phone.
Had S8+ and wasn't happy with it, back to iPhone 7 Plus. I really don't like S8 fingerprint sensor on back-just worst of the worst I have seen and Iris scanner just piece of crap. Also don't like screen on S8 by its size. Too tall and even S8+ is not big enough for me; I like wider screen, not taller...

how do you get this can’t get the deal to load up?

£525 one got 1200° back in May:
hotukdeals.com/dea…124

Just take out a 0% purchases card and buy from Amazon Italy.

Thanks op, traded in my iPhone 7 :grin:

Just ordered. Had very old iPhone 4. Good find. Thanks

If only I could trade my works :poop: iPhone 7 in..

Swizz, they won't take a 3GS...

Can I buy the s8 plus off you, it's a cracking handset!

How do you get the Samsung link to work

iPhone 3GS too? :dizzy_face:

Looks like they won't take iPhone 3GS as someone here commented above.

Yep, they have a skip out back just waiting.

Can I pay upfront? Let's say I pay 6 months 19.99..can i pay the rest 413£ in the 7th month and finish with it????

Been on the lookout for a decent S8 deal and this tipped it for me as had a dodgy iphone 4 with a cracked screen but it powered up which was all they wanted :smile: Thanks OP

Nice

Hate these type of deals! Why just an iPhone? Obviously everyone has their own preferences on which phone is the best, but this makes it look like Samsung is desperate to get iPhone users on board. Personally, I would never switch back to Android, even if the Essential Phone and Note 8 do look appealing I must say.

Don't worry TOO much about an item being just outside it's warranty, as, with consumer law, an item still has 2B
A, Fit for purpose
B, Last a reasonable amount of time, and
C, Be of "Merchantable Quality"

Example...Item cost £600, and expected to last 5 years, but dies 1 rear 1 week later, so a week out of warranty, through no fault of yours....You will of had roughly £120 worth of use out of it, so you are down £? roughly £480.

Company will say "sorry, it's out of warranty", and it is , but you are still protected by law.

I THINK it's the manufacturer you need to contact after the warranty has expired, but I'm not sure.
.

The credit agreement stated that you can pay any remaining amount in advance before the credit agreement ends. Deposit of £53.30 taken at beginning of agreement then £20.16 for first month and then £19.98 for remaining months.

thank you

Samsung DEX looks awesome.
Going for £85 Amazon at the moment

Got to be iPhone 4 and above they wouldn't accept my iphone 3

Have an old jailbroken iPhone 4. They don't mention any restrictions regarding jailbreaking so might send it in.

Just out of interest has anyone actually taking up the offer and had the phone delivered?

Can someone re post the link please as I can't get it to work. Thanks

I've signed up for the deal but I haven't receive a confirmation email from Samsung. I had to sign up from my Samsung S7 edge my ipad and MacBook Pro didnt work regardless of the browser I used.

Ordered and expected tomorrow! Great deal, thanks.

Hi need help can someone share the link tob buy this s8

How do you know it's expected tomorrow?
Dispatch email?

Can someone please share the link

Ordered earlier today, dispatched around 18:00. Expected tomorrow!

I just hit "See this Deal" on the laptop and it brings up the phone priced at £533

Doesn't seem to work in Safari but ok in Firefox!

Made the stupid decision to switch from an iphone 5C to a Samsung S7 Edge.
Wow - what a mistake. After the incompetent idiots at samsung took nearly 2 months to eventually replace the phone after they diddnt repair the faulty screen (it was in the midst of the Note 7 fiasco so they were concentrating on those) - in the meantime i had already bought an iPhone 7+ and dont regret it for a moment.

They would literally be having to give these away for me to go back to them!!

I've got "item shipped" in the orders update page but there's no mention of it being delivered next day?

Did you guys get a separate email for shipment and expected delivery date & tracking info?

Just don't want to hang around the house all day waiting for something that might not arrive.

​Yup!

Finally got a tracking notice..UK Mail due tomorrow

Looks like I have missed it :disappointed:

So I got one of these but I didn't see a return envelope for the iPhone. How do I go about sending the iPhone to Samsung?

Apple don't need to beg like this.

Went for the Artic silver from this deal ....cheers my son has a old 5S laying around that has a stuck sim tray!!!! has old sim stuck in it but turns on etc and works fine

Oh i would like to know this also?? How is this done? perhaps they just mock up a trade in to get the business and you don't have to send it in!!!

Cool it defiantly meets the minimum requirememnst

Did you had to pay any customs duty charges on top of £505 when you have ordered the phone from Amazon Italy?

Given you otherwise lack of contribution to this site AND your poor rationale for that statemente..
I'll take it with a pinch of Salt

I doubt I'd get £50 for my old 3gs...

It's only iPhone 4 and newer that are eligible.

If my iphone got broken screen but is fully working would they accepted?

If someone intersted I sell an iphone 4 for £80 in Edinburgh city center. In turns on and quilifies for the offer

Still works out cheaper if you buy from Amazon.it for 507 pounds:

amazon.it/dp/…Q7/

Smashing deal if you want pay monthly. But s8+ is currently cheaper from smartphonestore or giffgaff.

There is no customs duty from italy. They are in EU!

Pretty good deal if you have an ancient iPhone kicking about. Could probably even buy a second hand iPhone 4 for dirt cheap

Hahahahahaha. You have made my day.

Glad I'm not the only one then! Just wait for them to come begging for it

Mine has shipped only ordered today be here Monday... Replacing my LG G4 that's been and still is great phone..

Well there goes my plan of trading in my 3GS, it's iPhone 4 or higher :disappointed: shame, my 3GS is still in perfect working order and in pristine condition... Wonder if they will allow 2x 3GS lol

Really good deal

I've had the S8+ for a couple of months and love it.
Highly recommended :wink:

Do you keep saying.Went to an S8 from IPhone 6 and so did my partner and it's light years ahead in tech terms and features.Just wish I'd done it sooner.Ios is dreadful and iPhone as a phone now is dreadful

Was wondering how long the boring Samsung cat h fire jokes would take.Its all apple lovers have left in their locker due to pumping out the same old tech.Strange how Samsung now have the .ost regorius testing of batteries then any other phone company.Apple were quick to cover up faults with their devices and it's well documented about battery faults with the 7 just apple quickly cover up.Toyota had issues and it wouldn't put me off buying one of those unlike VW who are the same as apple and would fob people off with excuses like your holding it wrong.Do some research and see how many note 7 were confirmed in the UK of catching fire?

Wife took this deal this week (traded a 16gb iPhone 4 with shattered back).

S8 arrived quickly and was very quick to top up charge (came with 55% charge) - first experience of fast charge and impressed - topped up to 100% in the hr.

Instructions for returning old phone to them was clear as mud. Nothing on the package.

Samsung posted that out separately (arrived a couple of days later) - considering you have 7 days to send the phone to them following recipient - that is a bit naughty

Verdict - she loves the phone, been using a oneplus x for last 18 months and despite the increase in phone size (marginal), it has been an easy migration. Only taken a quick view of it myself but does look a good bit of kit. Camera very impressive.

My Pixel (also a hotukdeal) arrives tomorrow. Hopefully I will be as impressed as she has been.

Was looking at a new phone after having Sony Xperia Z3 Compact for years. Funny enough it still sold for £100 which went towards a deposit. Had an iPhone 4s 8GB with cracked screen to recycle. Seems like a good deal if you need a phone and don't want to part with £500+ straight away. Worked for me, voting HOT

So I was thinking that could be funny if it was anywhere near the truth, one faulty product, which no other company has had, makes it Samsung Roulette does it. Go sit in a dark room for a few years.

This is not a true trade in as you get the same deal whatever the phone you send in when if you sold seperatly you would get differeing levels of payment. Not saying it is a good deal for s4 owners but surely you would get more than £156 for ans S7?

This has got great heat but so many people saying it's a bad deal. I am torn.

what is bad about this deal?

Sorry I think you have mistaken me for an Apple fan, I hate Apples childish behaviour especially the holding it wrong part.
Samsung did try to cover up blaming it on the fact some batteries were 3rd party sourced and tried to blame it on them, the truth did come out that it was also Samsung batteries.

You ask me to do the research and find the confirmed number of phones in the UK that had battery issues, well Samsung never gave a number.
the clearest number I can give you is a US figure, within 1 month of launch almost 100 phones had been reported in the US.
Since Samsung never clarified the numbers and we take the figures to be roughly accurate then if in the us they sold approx. 2.5 million that was reported and 100 battery faults were reported in the first month then the chance was 1 in 25,000 that it was your phone. if you think that number is favourable remember that if they hadn't recalled it at that point the odds would have kept increasing as by recalling they stopped the number of reported cases increasing. but lets pretend that the odds would have stayed at that. there is a large portion of the population who believe that that's great odds. the lottery jackpot is 1 in 45,057,474, to get even just 5 numbers your chance is 1 in 144,415
I only quote the lottery odds to prove that according to the human mind many believe those odds are in their favour otherwise they wouldn't play it however you are 6 times more likely to buy a phone that could explode in the 1st month.

now if you want to do some research on numbers sold and numbers reported in the uk that's fine but seriously I doubt your ability.

Remember saying this?



Such a gem, yeah did you hear about windows, such a dud, while I don't like Xbox myself lets call that a dud too.
you seem like such a level headed guy.

So Apple are bad like VW (in this thread) and you seem to indicate you don't like that? and then you bought an iPad (in the other thread)?

Now we will see, I doubt my logic will be able to be absorbed by someone like you but miracles do happen, I'm not holding my breath as the odds you could comprehend logic aren't as good as the chances of an exploding s7.

Trollololololololol xD

have you not read the thread of comments?

Isn't it cheaper to get a new contract? My wife wants a new phone and top of this £19.99 per month she would have to get a sim and air time contract.
hopefully I have got this right.
Someone please clarify best optio

I would say it would likely be on a par with getting the phone on contract (circa £32+ a month) BUT doing that would tie you in to a 2 year deal with both phone AND SIM.

No sense in that whatsoever as tariffs will change in price frequently in that 2 years so you could potentially tie yourself to a very uncompetitive deal

Does the phone has to charged I have an iPhone 4 should be working but can't find cable to charge it

If it will charge I would suspect no comeback

Can someone help me. I completed the credit check and got approval. Is this the phone ordered or do you need to go back in and order the phone through the Samsung website? Thanks

Did you go through the full order process? If so, then no need to redo

I thought I had but I haven't received any emails from Samsung advising that order has been placed. I only have two emails from Deko. One saying finance approved and the second confirming that deposit was received.

Sounds like you are all good. If they have taken deposit, the order is in

Hopefully. Thanks for replies

TCB is offering 3% Online Purchase Including S7, S8 & S8+.
has anyone tried via TCB ?

expired again

Hi guys.. Those who received the phone was it sent via UK mail? Do they give you a time slot when they deliver. My phone is shipped but not sure if I have to be at home to sign.

In the email is a reference number to track, go to the website and it will show what drop number you are and where the delivery driver is. This will give you a rough idea of time.

thanks for the reply but it only shows - cant see no detail on what time this will be delivered.

I doubt if I will get a one hour delivery window as well !
Guys any one else - what this delivered through UK Mail

Has anyone actually received their phone yet? Ordered on Saturday 2nd Sept and not so much as an email from Samsung acknowledging the order.

I recieved mine today. ordered on Sunday

wondering if to keep it or not.
Does anyone know if I can still return if I open the box and test the phone ?

spoke to Customer Services
can be returned even after opened 28 days

I ordered mine on Saturday and not received as much as an email from Samsung. Jokers. Did you receive confirmation emails on Sunday after ordering?

yes received a couple of emails from Deko (fianance) and one email from Samsung shop then next day monday confirmation order email from samsung and finally shipping emails !

Thanks for that. Have spoken to Samsung and they say the delay is at the finance company. My partner applied and was turned down for the finance then I applied so hopefully not due to that!

oh ok good luck
I am not sure if I am keeping the phone :disappointed:

You not happy with it?

Yeah, I had a play on the phone the other day at 3 store. It looks great! Why you are not sure about it?

Do you have the Note 8 prices on EPP? Would like to know what the prices are. Thanks

Can I trade my 3GS?

I've got a 4S with a broken screen. Still works though. I can't see anything that states they must be intact, but surely they wouldn't accept it in trade in

How long before s8+ costs £400?

Just swapped my glitchy 6 plus for a new s7 and love it. iPhone's way over rated.

Cheaper to buy S8+ on Amazon - £641 and doesn't require sending them a phone.

I'm sticking with my S6 with S7 Edge battery in it for the next while :grin:

Nope. 4 and above only.

Hmmm, I don't know if I should go for this. I have an iPhone 6 Plus 128gb which I'm hoping to sell. If I can I might go for this deal, I have an old iPhone 4 8gb in mint condition.

Failing to see why this is such a hot deal, you can pick up an s8 from Amazon for £540 right now, and I'm pretty sure any version of the iPhone is worth more the £7 difference?

Does anyone have the direct link from the email they send to the phones? Last time that gave you the deal without the need to trade in!

Actually I do have an old Iphone4 - but I don't like Samsung phones so it aint going to happen.

the old links work again, but no buy or add to basket is on the product page :disappointed:
shop.samsung.com/uk/…45/

£869 for the note on epp with dex station. Dual sim version same price.

There's no buy it now/add to basket button though.

Should I get this or Oneplus 5 for £405 (using the 10% student discount)?

Thanks, no discount on EPP then for the Note 8 :disappointed:

does anyone know if they will accept an old Iphone4 that has a smashed screen - otherwise still in working order??

Seems the only criteria are that it powers up & not blocked

Why was it a big mistake going back to Apple?

just brought this.
but dont see anywhere how i can send off the iphone?
any ideas?

thanks for quoting what i said?

I probably should have read it first before replying :nerd:

My 4s is jailbroke. Will it matter if I send it like that?

thanks for the post mate. time to treat my self with this phone. just purchased one.

It would be accepted as long as it's power on and not blacklisted.

You kept using this word training. I'm pretty sure you mean trade in. But I could be wrong.

Hi Guys, Quidco cash back tracked for £21.32. please see the attached quidco confirmation screen shot

Ordered arctic silver S8+ and there is also free VR3 included.

What page do you get if you click the link to the phone in the email?

S8+ Arctic silver
Link

It might be worth hunting about for S7 deals.....

..... the S7 was (at release) one of the fastest smartphones, and even today is faster than most.

The S8 doesn't bring much to the party that the S7 hasn't already got. (The S7 camera was and still is great)

Any thoughts??

Any idea if they will accept a passcode locked iPhone?

509£, exact same one
wowcamera.com/sam…BwE

Based on Honk Kong, so may get hit with import duty and returns might not be the easiest.

Thanks, looks like they've got wise to leaving the add to basket button on that page.

They have fixed link glitch I think.

How did you manage to get the free VR3?
Thanks

It was added automatically. I was surprised.

I wouldn't hold my breath for a reply mate, it looks like a troll

What's there to hate ? it's an amazing deal!. Samsung are doing iPhone users a favour,
Trust me the number one Global smartphone manufacturer will not miss you one bit! lol

Okay, thanks for the reply. I will keep my fingers crossed that I receive one also.

Just received.

No discount at all on Note 8 on EPP.

VR3 is free for all colours i guess. mine is coral blue and i got the VR3

Does anyone know if there's an option to just pay the £533 upfront for this? I got refused on the credit check!

can we get a watch instead?

Looks like you automatically get one with the S8 and the S8+. A very welcomed, and unexpected, bonus.

I ordered last week - my invoice does not show the Vr

Why does this keep coming up on the best deals of the day post/mail?

Do Samsung actually collect the iPhone or can you just put any IMEI number in to get the deal :thinking:

I would also like to know the answer to this. I would prefer to pay up front rather than spread the payments...

Samsung send you a return envelope for the iPhone. If you don't return the phone within seven days you will be in breach of contract and they will want the S8 back!

I like the look of the purple one :grin:
Didn't know you could order from Amazon overseas! Take it you don't get the usual warranty though?
Thanks

I'm SO confused with what to buy! My iPhone 6 has done its time. Running really slow. I like the look of the Samsung S8 but played on a demo in a shop & didn't love it. My OH also has a slow iPhone 6 & he's decided on the ONEPLUS 5. He's going to order in next few days (annoying that their student deal doesn't allow NUS though).
I do like the look of the Huawei P10 but have been told they are releasing a new one next month & tbh I normally like to play it safe & go for a well known brand... OPINIONS???
Thanks in advance :thumbsup:

Does anyone know if you have to go through the uploading of your id bit after paying the deposit....i didn't do it because i hadn't got any id with me. Will the order still go through? Not had any email from Samsung confirming the order.

what do you mean ID bit it didnt ask me.
if your credit application is processed you should get a couple of emails and a confirmation email from samsung.
You will then also get an order shipping confirmation from Samsung
in your original email you will get a link which you can check the status of the order

After paying the deposit it went on to ask me to upload proof of id, a scan of passport or driving licence.

that sounds like they want some verification with your id as this is basically a credit application by Close Brothers.

thanks fragon24. good deal indeed. i was apple fan since 1997 but time has come to change. apple lost its way big time

Just purchased this and got £16.14 TCB on top! Missed it last time due to the black colour being out of stock and not wanting any of the others.

For those wondering, it will ask you for the device model (including storage size) and IMEI of your iPhone when you purchase. Was not asked for any additional ID. Process took about three minutes - surprisingly fast! Emails with all finance documents come through straight away, as does confirmation from Samsung.

Confirmation email doesn't mention Gear VR :disappointed: , but fingers crossed it will be dispatched with my phone (S8 Midnight Black). Not sure if this is because of the colour. Previous comments only mention silver and blue colours.

Question for those who previously bought this and received a separate envelope for your iPhone - is there a document inside the envelope to identify it is from you, and does Samsung inform you that they have received your iPhone? Thanks! :grin:

EDIT: Quick update! Gear VR is in fact included with Midnight Black too. I have refreshed the order status page on Samsung website and it is now showing as "remaining to be shipped", despite not originally being on the order confirmation page or emails.

Dont do it - I jumped over to Samsung for an S7 Edge - Regretted it BIG time.

Samsungs tech repair support is no patch on Apples, you'll be waiting months for your handset to come back (no joke!)
Got fed up of waiting in the end and bought a new iPhone 7+. Definitely the right decision, you can keep your crappy Samsungs.

How much do I get off if I trade in an iPhone X, works great only a slight issue with facial recognition.

Unlucky troll who dont know real Samsung repair tech. Ive never had any problems with Samsung repairs and all were done within 10 days.

Educate yourself will you...

Read the thread here i posted ages ago. Cant be bothered writing it all out again
hotukdeals.com/dis…232

Doh! Black OOS again just as i was about to order.

Ohh unlucky you.

Enjoy your lack of support. Samsung are well known for abandoning phones usually after just a couple of OS version releases - and even then get the update a long time after they are released from android.
Apple are still supporting the iPhone 5S with updates - a device first released in 2013.

Oh did i mention device security and stability?

I've hot both apple and samsung device and also sony. Apple is in the drawer just in case I lose or damage other two. If apple had so many models as other brands they would never ever keep supporting old ones. Its so easy to do updates to only a few same looking similar hardware devices. Security in iPhone is same vurnelabke as in android. Both can be hacked. Only difference is iCloud can not be removed by external tools.

Can you trade it for note 8 aswell or is it just for an s8

its only s8 or s8+ not the Note 8

Thanks mate

Is this possible to pay £533 straight away? I prefer to pay it now in full instead of 19,99 every month, and what are the chances to get VR3 included ?

I phoned them and they said no, but you might be able to pay off the credit agreement once it's up and running...not sure.

I think the free VR offer is finished, there's no mention of it on the website anymore

Another offer for Galaxy users. Exactly same one for Galaxy S3 and beyond.
