there's also £29 monthly with a £200 upfront cost. still same data with O2.

Can anyone tell me how reliable it is to order off these sites? The deal/tariff isn't on the o2 website itself, I am wondering how it actually works? I can see this being a really good deal and I am very tempted myself, but if I have issues do I go through o2 or back to mobiles.co.uk for example?

i have used these a few times and are spot on

3gb of data on a beastly phone like that? Behave! Used that much in 3days

Wow Brexit has made phones expensive now; there is no way I'd ever pay that much just for a phone.. my gaming PC cost less than that, and it maxes out everything at 1440p

Thanks for the replies guys! Might just go with this, very tempting given the pre order bonus + the fact it's not much more than if I brought the phone outright, it'd be like buying it on credit interest free lol. The data/mins are just a side perk but it's better than my current contract (500mb haha) :sweat_smile:

So the phone itself is £869, so you're technically getting a free sim only contract for 24 months. Is that right?

I'm pretty sure you get the dex with this too and with any galaxy note 8 that is pre ordered before the 14th September as you just register the phone with samsung once received with proof of purchase and claim. It states this on the bottom of the phone page on mobiles.co.uk

Wish I'd waited a while. Impulsively pre ordered as a retentions deal - never done this before - have to wait for the phone to come before I can cancel now. Hope these deals are still available then!

Don't want to pre order two!!

Select O2 and sort by Total Cost of Contract Low to High. I don't seem to have the sort option on my iPad but you can select O2 then monthly cost up to £30 and upfront cost £200 plus. Should show both of the cheap deals.

Note 8.. I played instore with camera..fab!!! Maximum zoom..FAB!! Feeling when you hold it..FAB!! But for God sake...almost 900£? .....Terrible!..How much cost factory to do this? Max 200-250?

common seriously... £900 on a phone and only 3gb of data

I thought Samsung discontinued Note series phones after battery fire incidents ...?

Does anybody know if these come unlocked?

3gb

Seems like a great deal to me, phone itself is £800+. Hot!

Thoughts on this v Essential phone v LG V20?

The sim minutes/ text and data alone is worth about £8-10 a month so if you subtract £240 from the price of the contract and the cashback the phone actually costs about £606.

That's an incredible price for this device

Aaaargh, I ordered the Galaxy S8+ (+VR) for £199 upfront and £29/month on 4GB / month on Vodafone, earlier today (from mobiles.co.uk)... will be delivered tomorrow.

I have however now also ordered this deal. This is too good to miss!

Did anyone return anything to Mobiles.co.uk? I am planning on sending back the S8 plus, unopened.

Guys would it be possible to get student discount on the ee deal?

looks like its time to buy new phone

This is just stupid. How can they charge so much for a phone. It's not even Snapdragon 835 version of the phone. The most I would pay for a phone is around £500 and even that is a lot.

I don't think you'll fnd anyone is going for this deal for the data that is on offer.

More than likely the fact that with the cashback this deal works out £20 cheaper than buying the phone outright from Samsung and you essentially get the phone interest free for 24 months,which is great if you are already in a contract and want to spread the cost.

So the SIM card with 3gb and unlimited mins and texts is just a free bonus.

toooo big!!!

Can you use a PUK code with this to transfer your existing number - couldnt see this option ?

Thank you OP: ordered. Top Cashback tracked at £52.50.
My current contract only has 2GB of data, so 3GB is more than enough for me (although I appreciate it may not be enough for most here). Subtracting the Cashback & the cost of my current contract (which I can cancel at 30 days notice), the cost of the handset works out at £550 (for me: other people's circumstances will differ), which makes it a no-brainer.

Ordered, this is the best price i've seen. Had my Note 4 for 3 years, so time for an upgrade :relaxed:

Thanks!

Totally agree.

Better with a refurb Note 7 for £33 / Month & 5GB Data :wink:

maxmix

Agreed, but I will still purchase it. :stuck_out_tongue:

Ordered, thanks! Cashback pending

Thanks OP, I've just ordered the 10 gb u/k calls u/l text deal from O2 from the options here, total cost over 2 years £1086 minus £52 cash back seems a good deal to me.

Good Deal, I Just wish It was the Deep Sea Blue Version :disappointed: Does anyone know when the UK Will get this colour? I Just can't wait as long as the S8 & S8+ Coral Blue Editions arrived It was around 6 Months after release... :disappointed:

Would anyone say theres a downside to Importing It from Korea? ebay.co.uk/itm…649

Note 8 and 3 gigs per month? If you need one, you definitely don't need the other.

i won't even start on how misguided this post is

I guess for people not that keen to be at the front of the MOST recent technology, it makes much more sense to buy flashship mobiles from previous year, ie, pixel xl and s7 edge now.
much better price-quality ratio.

and where can i get refurb Note 7 in UK?

I find it amazing that people still go into deals to let everyone know they don't get it. I mean do they think anyone cares or values their opinion?

Better yet, try to do some modifications in your gaming, and make it a even larger mobile phablet :grin:‌ :grin:‌ :grin:‌ :relaxed:

Import duty & VAT will be payable before HMRC will release it. We all know VAT is 20%, but I'm not sure what the duty will be on a mobile phone import, but it could add to the cost substantially.

Hi I got my Samsung galaxy note 8 plus from them and was a next day delivery. Since then no problem I have been dealing with Vodafone since. I think it's cheap because you don't get cash back or any gifts and that's where they make their money.

Prices of mobile phones drop significantly after few months. Its always good idea to wait few months after release of mobile phones and then purchase them unless you have plenty of money to pay for latest mobile phones to get them on day of release to impress others. I personally need at least 30gb data so I am sure I am not going to get a decent deals for this new phones at the moment

Do you have a gaming fridge?

SM-N950 simply means it's a Galaxy Note 8 - there will be several versions ,obvious two being Exynos or Snapdragon , but also regional variations which may affect frequency bands and things such as updates and fixes which might be sent to specific models and not others . Have a look at this ,droidmen.com/sam…es/ and ask the vendor for the specific model ,for peace of mind really ,as it is quoting relevant UK Lte frequencies .

Thanks for this. I've just signed up. Cancelled my pre order with Samsung. I'm already with O2 so phoned to see if they can match it but they can't. However they will migrate my current number to new line. So no need to port to another network and then port back again.

Is the UK version of this dual sim?

From that link carphone warehouse are selling the single sim version as are most carriers so no idea how to get hold of the dual sim UK model it lists but with no carriers listed for it.

This for infohttps ,://sammobile.com/201…uk/ , 869 pounds ,same as single sim ,or for extortionebay.co.uk/itm…109

I blame neymar

Thanks, i'll take a look but ideally would want it on contract but i'm assuming the carriers just won't stock the dual sim version which is a pain.

The Apple/Samsung sheep keep buying overpriced devices shocker..

Tbf, flagships now from all the big manufacturers are overpriced, it's not just Apple and Samsung anymore

£240 for a pen ...that's dearer than Apple :fearful:

Lol , didn't realise you meant that ! Because I am sad and had nothing better to do I contacted CPW who didn't rule out the dual sim version ,but couldn't confirm it : " we get limited supply of dual sim phones " which implies they do get some of some phones , so you never know , it might be worth asking , especially as Samsung are charging the same for either

Lol cheers! Mobiles.co.uk are part of Carphone Warehouse/ owned by Dixons group so the phones will be whatever carphone warehouse stock. I'm pretty sure they won't have a clue what they are getting until the stock comes in a couple of days before release. I'd put money on it they will all be single sim models as UK carriers just don't like dual sim phones.

Depends how you look at it really:if you buy say oneplus 5 in U.K. It's £450 -500 ,then you need a sim of some description ,so that's £18.75 /month to play with . On contract ,it's not dissimilar to this for less data , and even a huawei p10 isn't cheap on contract . But as Judethedude2 says ,that's flagships for you,not just Apple/Samsung. Buying a flagship or not is a different discussion

This deal just showing how much note 8 is worth in reality. About £500?

Seems good price

Worth noting this is for a new contract, not an upgrade. Been a while since I did this so are you able to transfer your O2 number to this through a new plan or not?

Take out the new contract, once set up, call O2 to transfer your existing number over. There's no need to port away and port back on O2.

Nope, just the note 7 was pulled

I opted for the 10 gb a month for £39/month and £150 upfront. Is that not a better deal?

Hmm, yeah, I find that hard to believe you have a gaming PC with a screen, keyboard and mouse + speakers for less than £900, especially one that maxes everything at 1440p.

£200 more you get 10gb instead of 3? Not a very good deal.

10 gb a month instead of 3 for £200 for 2 years!! Sounds tempting to me

Hot from me

Best way is to get contract cancelled and pay remaining fee without vat. Total cost about £760

Only if you just stream at work, or unemployed and have no Wi-Fi at home.

​I have an 8GB + entertainment pack deal for £48/month and no upfront cost. + £25 credit (with dex)

However having used the note 8 today I'm going to cancel the preorder and wait a few months for the price to drop. I've never usually got phones on release day and only ordered due to an issue on my other phone, which thankfully has been resolved.

I've gone round in a full circle! !

Where did you get to use the Note 8?

The ​EE and O2 shop in my local town centre had it on display - albeit locked down securely! I was able to use the s pen but didn't use the camera.

I wasn't aware it was in shops but someone on another thread mentioned they had a chance to check it out at John Lewis.

Thanks, I wasn't aware there were demo models in shops.

Hey guys, I just registered on TCB and visited mobiles.co.uk and purchased this deal.

However, the £50.50 is not showing up in my account. Do I need to wait a while? :persevere:
edit: I did it before midnight, about 23:45!

They are also on display at Samsung experience stores.

I tried one out for over 30 minutes on bank holiday Monday in Bournemouth,was able to have a good mess around with the camera and s pen,the staff were really helpful and encouraged me to play around with it for as long as I wanted.

Photo that I took of it in store.

Same here so I guess this is how its meant to be. I hope :wink:

Just take it into carphone warehouse they can return the deal and say customer service sent you

Thanks, I don't have one of them near me but will pop into the shops at the weekend and see if I can find one to take a look.

Brexit lol. Everyone blames everything on Brexit. It's just an excuse!

On another note, how portable is your gaming rig.... Yeah, didn't think so.

For anyone wanting to know if the note 8 will come unlocked or not.

I emailed Mobiles.co.uk and asked if they are unlocked and they confirmed that all their phones are shipped UNLOCKED ! apart from iPhones.

Same here. It tracked but purchase of £1 instead of £250 and cashback shows up as £0.0 pending. However, they do have the order number showing in the transaction details, so hopefully it will pay up.

Lovely, thanks for confirming, so I did nothing wrong then. I also have the £1 and the 0.0 pending. Lets wait and see and hope it gets processed properly.

gotta keep the phone guys in big bonuses....cheap phone and good android tablet....sorted. £900 pah!

I'm glad I went and had a look today, it left me pretty underwhelmed especially considering the price. They have maintained an all plastic shell and it's horrible.

I also asked about the dual sim version and there was a Samsung rep there who confirmed the dual sim is only available direct from Samsung on their website and not sold via any networks/contracts.

I'll be sticking with my recently purchased P2 and will again look into how much it will be to repair my Note 4.

are you sure you looked at the right phone? its a glass and aluminium build for the phone, no plastic, unless you specifically meant the S-pen...?

i had a look in o2 this afternoon and yes, i still think its too expensive, but i wouldnt say its badly (or cheaply) made or designed

Yes I looked at the right phone, I'm talking about the back of the phone. Felt light and cheap to me so might be aluminium but doesn't feel quality. Yes the screen is fantastic but for £869 I was hoping for something a bit more premium feeling. I know the tech inside it is top notch but I also want it to feel like and look like a premium item if i'm paying premium prices.

Samsung have also dropped the ball with getting rid of the removable battery in favour of waterproofing. Who the hell wants to drop it in a metre of water, real helpful and such a benefit :angry: However a removable battery meant you got extra life out of the phone as after 2 years all phone batteries are seriously degraded. That is a lot more useful than being waterproof - in over 25 years of having mobile phones i've never dropped one in water but every single phone's battery has degraded between a year and 2 years of use/charging.

Lower battery than the s8 and it's bigger

Both my wife n I went for this one. Now selling off our s6 edge and edge plus to cover some of the cost. Great deal but if you like gear 've you have to wait for the new headset as samsung does not recommend this phone with the headset.

yeah i tend to agree with you - waterproofing is one of those things which benefits 1% of people who are clumsy near water whereas 99% suffer with the lack of removable backs. only decent benefit seems to be build quality and design has improved, all plastic phones are a thing of the past for flagships

unfortunately it seems to be the direction all smartphone manufacturers are going these days. i wish they could go back to the note 4 days

Just wait a few months, it will drop in price. They always do.

I hope..It's a really good phone..but I wouldn't pay more than 500..Max! How much will be Note 9 next year? 1200?..God..

Depends a lot on the value of the pound which will be determined by how badly brexit goes.

How the hell can you mistake glass and metal for plastic ?

Were you wearing boxing gloves or something ?

Because that's how crap it felt and looked. My current phone is metal bodied and feels more premium.

What is it,a BT phone box ?

I've played around with the Note 8 and it's anything but crap. The device is incredibly premium feeling.

I've just had my DPD email from mobiles.co.uk saying this will be delivered tomorrow (one day ahead).
Did anyone else get that?

Yeah my Mrs had an email an hour ago.

Got to wait until Friday to get mine delivered from very : (

Yeah me too :grin:

me too

So, my parcel seems to still be with mobiles.co.uk. DPD didn't pick it up last night, so it will most likely not be delivered today. Anybody else?

Later Edit: I have just had and email from DPD confirming the above.

Me too :poop:

Me too. Just received an alert from DPD to say they hadn't been able to pick up the parcel from mobiles.co.uk so won't be able to deliver today.

Me too, wasn't expecting it today tbh.. Just hope it arrives tomorrow!

Just received a txt 'Sorry, we haven't received your Mobiles parcel yet so we can't deliver it today.' So hopefully get it on Friday as my upfront cost for the handset has been paid already.

they confirmed to me on twitter it will definately be delivered tomorrow

we will see...

My Mrs got the same.

That will teach her for bragging that she was getting hers a day before i would get mine lol

I've just had a 'your order has been completed' from mobiles.co.uk and also my first bill from O2 dated today.
Delivery tomorrow.

Same here, looking forward to the phone, since I had to return my note 7.

I have still not received a dispatch email but I ordered on the 6th Sept. Is anyone else in the same position?

I've ordered mine on Sep 5th just after 9pm and will be delivered today (fingers crossed).

They must be sending out deliveries in order. I will call them in my lunch break if I still haven't received an email. Enjoy your new phone.

has anyone had a time slot from DPD yet?

Mine was delivered an hour ago. Only got email about the timeslot 20 min before the actual slot (I was delivery no. 12).

Got mine delivered earlier. :smile: anyone know which supplier to select on the Samsung website to claim the Dex station? There doesn't seem to be anything on the drop down list for mobile.co.uk

Try Carphone Warehouse as they are the parent company

Don't you have to wait for 30-60 days before claiming?

No you can claim for it straight away, btw it is carphone warehouse you have to select on the drop down list.

i thought that too - thats what the terms state

I'm confused now

Just read the DeX claim instructions I saved as a PDF and it says between 30 and 60 days from your pre-order date. I pre-ordered mine of 4 September so it will be between 4 October and 3 November for me.

I hope you can read this
