    My current contact with Free ends in December 13 but I phoned them up and asked for an upgrade to the Samsung Galaxy S4 just now.

    Option 1, was they'd give me one for £37 a month plus £49:99 one of payment for the phone. Which would come off in November.

    Or option 2, I could of not pay the one of payment but the bill each month would be £42 a month. First bill would be November.


    I went with option 1, I'll have the phone on the 10th this month. Anyone think this is a good deal for the S4?

    And did anyone else get the S4 on contract for £37 a month have to pay a one of payment for the phone? Or is it because I'm still in contact. Or have I been bumped:56:

    It was probably because you were in mid contract, I upgraded a few month ago with vodafone "Sony Z" got it for £33 per month.....but I'd originally tried to upgrade about a month before that, at that time they asked for a payment.

    How long were both contracts? Based on the options, number 1 is a no brainer.

    They've done you a favour by giving you an early upgrade, that's how much they charge everyone - £49 up front and £37 a month.

    £37 * 24 + £50 = £938

    The Google Nexus 5 will probably be released on October 14 for £275 SIM free.
    The leaked Nexus 5 specs are very impressive.
    A Giffgaff £10 payg gives 500 minutes, unlimited texts and a gig of data.

    £10 * 24 + £275 = £515.

    Both contacts were 24 months. Even though the contract ends in December, with Free you can update free of charge a month in advance so I probably should waited till november 13th, but the phone I'm using is * as my current contract phone broke.

    If someone doesnt have a contract phone and goes into the shop, is it possible to get the S4 for £37 a month without paying a one off payment for the phone?

    A wouldn't get a phone on pay as you go, 500 minutes isn't near enough for me, and neither is a gig of data.

    GiffGaff is utter baws now anyway, regular outages that last hours at a time. You would wish you had went with a decent provider the first time it happened.

    Three with 4G is also very similarly priced but for a much better service.

    02 offered me this.

    Told them 3 offered me the same deal for £33 a month, with no charge for the phone and they matched it.

    Tell them to go and take a * to themselves for wanting money for the phone.

    In fact, tell them to go and take a * to themselves for wanting near £40 a month for a mobile of any sort.

    I'm with 48 and pay a measly €10 a month (pay as you go) for unlimited texts to any network, 300 mins to any mobile, 60 mins to any landline and 1GB of Internet data.

    Went into Vodafone with my girlfriend today to get her upgraded to a Galaxy S4.
    She gets:
    Unlimited texts
    Unlimited Uk calls
    6gb of data (A promotion thing that's on until the 31st October)
    and it costs her about £33 per month. She also doesn't have to pay for the phone and got it the same day.
