Looking for a new contract smartphone
Options
I am looking to upgrade from an old PAYG to my 1st smartphone,
either a Samsung galaxy 2 or a HTS sensation.
I have been out today, visited the local phone shops to compare prices.
But, it seems there are much better deals to be had by buying online, Looking at t-mobile on the £25 per month to get the un limited internet usage, In store I would have to pay at least £100 for the phone, whereas on line I can get the phone for free with the same £25 per month package.
How does this work?
What are the benefits/drawbacks of buying in a real store vs online?
Confused...

Here is a massive benefit of buying online from T-Mobile, £121.20 cash back! https://www.topcashback.co.uk/tmobile/
I don't think you can get a Samsung Galaxy S2 for free on a £25-a-month tariff however, the handset costs £100. Total cost = £712.76.
It's cheaper to take the £15-a-month tariff, where the handset costs £300. Total cost = £667.68.
It's an awful lot of money. I have a £100 Orange San Francisco android smart phone and it's brilliant! £10-a-month SIM only contract.0 -
ooooh - that cash back site looks well worth considering! Thanks!0

upside you can print the deal offered, not any pushinto sales or bull from a salespersonDon't put your trust into an Experian score - it is not a number any bank will ever use & it is generally a waste of money to purchase it. They are also selling you insurance you dont need.0
