Is this the best deal SG2?

Best Deal Ever

Upgraded to an 18 month contract on July 25th 2011. Looking on Virgin Website, found out that they are now doing a 12/24 month contracts. As I was within my 14 days testing period, I decided to call to find out how much it will cost me for a 12 month contract. Could not believed what I was told: 400 mins, unlimeted text and 1gb Internet. £15.37 per month-phone free. Yes. Samsung S2 free for 12 months total cost £184.44. Could not belive it. I even questioned if this was correct, she confirmed that the figures are definately right. In 1 years time, I can sell the phone for at least £200.00. Dont ask why or how I got this deal, but all I can say is: THANK YOU VIRGIN

I only just joined this forum today(13/09/11). This article I originally posted on the Samsung Galaxy S2 forum. The reason I posted it here, is to let people know that you can get a good upgrade even if you don't threaten to leave.

wait until they check the bank account & find £299 or £319 removed to cover the handset cost.

Cheapest i can see is £40 a month if the phone is free.

Or the phone is not the Samsung Galaxy S2. I9100.


£15.99 + Handset Price £319.99 Your tariff gives you:

• 75 minutes
• 125 texts
• 250MB Mobile Web

This would appear to be the best Samsung S2 deal I've seen.

Almost certainly a mistake though, as the total would barely cover the cost price of the handset. I would guess they based this tariff deal on the Samsung Galaxy Ace, but a glitch or error meant you got the S2.

Hopefully, they will honour this for you, but I doubt anyone else would get this deal.

Anyone else got any other decent deals on the S2?

Bought the phone outright brand new with 2 years warranty in white for £330 and then got a 24 month contract through mobiles.co.uk for £26 for 400 mins and 250mb data and some texts with 23 months free via redemption and a samsung galaxy apolo wich im selling on ebay and £30 Tcb

After all the cashback and selling the phone for £80+ i should be doing quite well.

Also have a contract with virgin mobile, ill give them a ring i think.

That's a crazy good price, where did you find such an offer? I'm after a SG2 myself and the best i can do is £384 for Black or £405 for White through Amazon. 2 year warranty which includes accidental damage is another £48 on top of that.

Well what i did was look on ebay for the cheapest buy it now sgs2 in white, that was a company called starlight i think

they were offering it for £360 ish plus £7.5 delivery

I phoned them up, asked them if I came round to the shop would they give me a better price because they wouldn't have to pay ebay and paypal fees. I negotiated them down to £330 and went drove down later that afternoon to view the phone pay by credit card and pick it up.

The phone was locked to T-mobile but i managed to unlock it very easily, no t-mobile branding on the phone itself but I had to re flash rom because I think it had t mobile bloatware but I cant really remember(i just like reflashing roms :P)

Hope I've been of help, good luck

Free phone, 2000 any network anytime minutes, 5000 three to three minutes, 5000 texts and all you can eat data for £35 a month. It's on their 1 Tariff i thought thats a pretty good deal.
