Currently have an iphone 4 which is nearing the end of it's life so would like something new. I won't get much for my current phone so don't want to pay for anything up front and don't mind looking at recycled mobiles. Any ideas?
Giff Gaff your current phone until it dies?
SIM-only for about a tenner a month with your current phone until it completely dies, and save the extra ten quid or so each month to pay for a new handset.
I'm on a sim only at the moment but phone is very nearly dead poor thing. I've come across this http://www.store-3.co.uk/3-three-nokia-lumia-925-black-refurb.html?ref=product_title but not sure on the company "Hand over fist"
Can't seem to locate reviews on them, anyone used them here?
Buy a Moto G for £130, get a Virgin Sim only deal from £7 per month- rolling 30 day contract.
Better than being tied into a 24 month contract.
Saw a legit looking ad (ie direct with the phone company) for a Samsung s5 for £19.99 p/m on a 500mb contract, no upfront cost - can't remeber the network though.
U-Switch are sometimes a decent source of good deals
If you fancy changing from iOS to Android, you could/can buy a Samsung S5 or HTC One M8 from Vodafone for about £280 then, get it unlocked and stick any SIM only SIM in it.
Also keep an eye on the O2 Refresh and Refurb deals.
The Moto G is a good phone and a great deal considering how cheap it can be had for.
Similar position, trying to find a phone for my wife and contract for me so following with interest, not sure however that
falls into the category ofabout £280
!don't want to pay for anything up front
My problem is a just eat through data but 3 don't seem to have an unlimited data, bugger all calls deal any more.

It either works or it doesn't - get whatever is wrong fixed.
Unless cost of repair is uneconomic or usage doesn't justify?
I've got a 4S with dodgy headphone / speaker, but cost is £25 or so and I've had it repaired before -- not worth it. Current 4S has cracked screen and dodgy battery - again, put repair towards decent nearly new phone rather than repair..
I'm with 3 on a rolling contract (£13 a month)!unlimited data, 5000 texts and 200 minutes. Ultimate Internet I think it's called.
I was looking at this last month, and ended up going for a Moto G with 1000 mins, 5000 texts and 1G of data with Tesco Mobile for £16 a month...
at xmas got a Motorola moto g (4g) with doubled up Tesco vouchers equal 50% off unlocked as well, then a 3 PAYG 15 quid a month unlimited data, 5000 texts and 300 minutes, exceptional pleased
I've got a Moto G that I bought for Dad, but he's never used it (and never will) if you're interested; £90?
(It's all boxed up etc)

I just recently went SIM only with 3 and they didn't seem to do unlimited data with tiny minutes anymore - you could previously just pick and choose how many minutes then add unlimited data for a fiver. I went for 2 gig of data with 200 minutes for a tenner a month, which was the notional limit that I'd set myself.
What on earth do you do to need so much data, texts & mins... 😯
Is it actually possible to send 5k text messages ?
🙂
I watch [b]a lot[/b] of porn.
Htc one is £14 a month on tesco
As above I got that deal for my daughter at the weekend £13.99 a month for a HTC one for crying out loud!!!
I must add I've had the HTC one for nearly 2 years now and it's a really good phone.
Tesco have 2 networks to choose from at that price. It's a cracking deal, the handset is over £350 to buy alone!
Can't see past that deal to be honest
Is it actually possible to send 5k text messages ?
Yes - send a text once every 8 minutes, day and night, for a month.
Got a link for that Tesco deal with the HTC?
Cant find it online! Or is it instore?
We bought it in store. I can't see it online either. It was last week we got it, hopefully it's still available.
Thanks for all your responses, ended up going for a LG G3 for £20 a month on EE. Phone cost £50 but other half said she'd pay for it as an early birthday present.
LG G3 is a cracking phone. If you update to lollipop and are getting issues with battery drain then do a full reset sorted it for me and now the battery mostly lasts a couple of days. It might even be worth checking for the update before you start loading apps etc onto it, then just do a reset, that way you won't lose anything.
Out of interest how much data you getting for £20 p/m from EE?
Thanks for the info muggo. It comes with a gig of data which is more than what I need so should never run out.

Ok. Enjoy that beautiful screen.

There's still a £15/month sim only deal with unlimited data, unlimited texts and 200 minutes. I was on an older £12.90 /month deal but upgraded as the new 3 tariffs have 0800 numbers included, and I had spent more on this that the difference. It also includes 4Gb of tethering, which was £5 for 1Gb on the old.
If you get 3 reception it's a great deal. I can use my allowance in the USA and much of europe without roaming costs, and much of London I get 4G, faster than my home broadband. I watch netflix or iplayer steaming on my phone from the train most days.
