Probably go cold but for those not in need of too much data (some of us have Wifi most of the time before the high data users say its pointless having a phone like this with 2gb)
Network EE Ultd mins and txts 2GB Data
Free Dex if ordered before the 14th as with other pre orders
With £10 off code comes to £866.76 which is less than £8 more over buying it sim free plus you spread out most of the cost over 2 years. Cheaper than the S8 Plus and you dont get the free DEX with that. include the cashback off quidco (£35 for EE contracts) and its cheaper than buying the phone on its own!!!)
5gb available for a total of £961 (cheaper than going for the 3gb option!)
will be ordering 1 of each myself as I dont think you will get much better

Can't transfer? What do you mean? My sister has EE Broadband but in my name. I Rang them up and said I want the extra 5gb because I have home Broadband with them and they put it on my account.

If you mean the mobile deal has to be through them then they're chatting crap.
Mine is through e2save. Redemption deal costing me a fiver after cashback.
They give me 2gb + the extra 5gb. 7gb total.

They eventually gave me the extra 5gb but they said that it's not usually allowed. Probably were chatting crap, got me scared for a second lol
I spoke to customer service of Mobiles.co.uk, they said the phone initially its in the seal box and unlocked and when u insert first sim then it become locked to network?
Does anyone own it? Can u share experience?

Unlucky id say as i have ZERO tolerance for dead pixels regardless of BS acceptable parameters by maufactures, literally the first thing i do with all new phones is go to the play store and download a dead pixel test app which displays a set of different colours full screen makes it real easy to check etc otherwise its utterly pointless in doing any setup as its going straight back.

had both of mine come an hour ago, sat on charge and ready for when I get back from work.
Ive gone for the spinigen tough armour case or however its spelt, not too expensive and always gives decent protection. I was going to go for a solid screen protector but then read with the edge ones the often arnt as good as flat screened ones so went for some normal ones instead both off amazon

Just emailed mobiles.co.uk to check what retailer we are supposed to use when claiming the free DEX since they are not on the list of official retailers participating in the offer. Here was there response:
We are a sister company of Carphone Warehouse, therefore we will be listed as Carphone Warehouse.
Hope theres no issues claiming the DEX since Carphone wharehouse is not shown on the invoice off the order.
i did get the email but it was delayed anyway so it'll be Friday
Moqsy
14 Sep 17#67
If I was to order this today, but go for the later delivery (next week Thursday), would it still count as pre order and would I be able to claim the dex? It's cause my contract finishes in October so want to get this as late as possible, but want to pre order to get the dex

The dual sim model is available on the Samsung UK website. Just debating whether to go for that sim free, or go for this with the free contract.
GQ.Man
10 Sep 17#53
The UK doesn't normally get the dual sim models of flagship handsets or the larger GB capacitys either as in other territories as id rather like the 256gb version of this Note 8.

If only they did the dual sim model with this offer!

I was referring to the post saying why not buy it SIM free at rrp and put a SIM in it. You'll be paying an extra £10-15 a month (for same sim package) on top of the phone price. This whole phone & contract comes in around the same as just the phone SIM free outright option. This will be unlocked so you could use the SIM bundled with this elsewhere & get your own if you wanted to. If anyone buys the same phone SIM free outright over taking this option must be mad.
commenter14
9 Sep 17#50
But if you need to buy extra data anyway, you'd be paying £10 extra per month regardless.
doggboy10
8 Sep 17#49
Well you'd be paying a lot more then. The whole package (phone contract included) in this deal works out just (slightly) more than the sim free rrp. So even chucking in a cheap giff gaff SIM at say £10 a month would cost you £240 more over the 2 year term.

I recently used a £15 voucher on a new S8 contact and the cashback still paid pretty quickly. Obviously not promising anything but I decided to use the voucher as it's guaranteed and you could still get the cashback.
jamieww
8 Sep 17#47
Cheapest I could find anywhere... Even better as I have EE fiber so get 5gb data free.... This has to be the cheapest note8 deal out, plus the nice to have DeX... Never used mobiles.co.uk previously but within hrs of the order they have confirmed everything and will be giving me a 1hr delivery slot around the launch date.... Definitely a hot from me
adamspencer95
8 Sep 17#46
on my order somewhere it said 'DPD Saturday' as the delivery option so i'm presuming it'll arrive on the 16th
kas786
8 Sep 17#45
More than likely YES it will void the cashback, however cashback is never guaranteed anyway.
kas786
8 Sep 17#44
Just to confirm the phones DO come unlocked as they are provided by Mobiles.co.uk and not via the mobile phone operator. In addition they are expecting stock on Friday 15th September & shipments to be done within 1hr windows the next day, not sure if they will deliver on Saturday? Shame they aren't being received by customers until the day after. But for that price difference its worth it.
adamspencer95
8 Sep 17#43
i actually went for the o2 offer for 3GB for £29 a month but only £200 upfront - hopefully £25 cashback from TCB - £896 total price if cashback doesnt pay out meaning an extra £1 ish per month on average

Surely it all depends on how you use the phone. I have had a Nexus 6 for 2 years and never got anywhere near 2gb. I rely 99% on wi-fi so horses for courses methinks.

Nah, maybe for you but everyone has different use cases. My home, university and the tube (via the mobile networks) all have free wi-fi and that makes up the vast majority of when I need or want to be online. I've survived just fine with 500 MB these past two years.

Jeez, there are some real numpties on this thread. It's not difficult to understand. This deal actually makes the overall contract price cheaper than the outright price of the phone. So for all those that are talking about data, you could consider this deal as a interest free instalment option for the phone. It's a win win for everyone. For those that require 2GB, this will serve them fine. For those that require more data, they could purchase this and then a sim only for whatever data they require, and perhaps give the 2GB data sim to a family member.

cheaper than sim free *assuming the cashback pays out*

regardless of the 2GB data, its still *almost* cheaper than buying it outright, that makes it a stonking deal in my book
commenter14 to adamspencer95

But most people would need to spend more on extra data. That makes it a bad deal.
adamspencer95 to commenter14

but seeing as you havent paid any more than the phone is worth, even including the contract, you're in no worse a position...
commenter14 to adamspencer95
7 Sep 17#26
But you have - you said so yourself. It's only *almost* cheaper than buying new. So you're spending extra for no useful features. Just buy it for RRP and get a Giff Gaff contract.

assuming the cashback pays out its £28 less than sim free, and i think theres a good chance of it paying out

Hustler1337
7 Sep 17#23
This works out cheaper than buying the phone outright, so the 2GB plan should be considered a bonus.
I'm thinking you could buy this then contact EE asking for an additional line which you can get at a discounted rate and use that additional contract on the phone. The original contract can be kept as a spare or given to someone who only needs 2GB of data.

Had totally forgotten about cashback! £35 cashback added too does indeed make it cheaper than buying the phone sim free!

For all those saying 2GB is not enough. This deal is actually cheaper than buying it outright so if you want you can get a SIM only deal as well (EE/BT sims should work fine) and you can use the 2GB SIM in a different phone :smile:
