Is this the best deal SG2?

Maybe it is pretty good if you really need 2000+5000+5000. Otherwise you effectively pay at least £480 for the phone.

@ baggers02: I was going to take that exact same contract but the idea of paying £35 a month without an option to stop it was a bit off-putting so i am looking to buy the Phone and get Three's Sim: Top up £15 and choose the all-in-one-15 add-on to get all-you-can-eat data, 300 minutes and 3,000 texts for 30 days. Permitting i can get the Phone for around £400 that is a saving of roughly £80 over the 2 years i would potentially be on the contract. Not a huge amount but i have freedom to stop spending on monthly top-ups and i don't lose out on the truly unlimited data, which is why i chose Three in the first place. Plus if any cheaper deals come along i can choose another deal and not have to pay a lump-sum or get tangled in a web of contract bindings.

It's still a good deal, but yeah, £35 for 2 years is a tad daunting.

@ arielcohen: I thought you might say eBay to an extent. Still, £370'ish for a brand new white SG2 with included 2 year warranty (correct?) is a bargain and i'd be happy to snap that up. I will have to take a look at that. Great work on the haggling too!

well the guy said to me that I have 28 days return to the shop for a brand new replacement, then said I could take the receipt into any t mobile shop in the next 2 years to get it replaced/fixed under warranty. starlight are some sort of T-mobile outlet/retailer or something, so i phoned t mobile and confirmed they will honour the warranty for 2 years(unless they find out i routed it :P)

Despite the Phone being unlocked and using a deal with another supplier, T-Mobile would still give out on warranty? That almost seems to good to be true but if it's legit then that is a great commitment.

Cheers for the information.

£26.99 doesn't make this deal the best without saying what kind of airtime you get for this money.

I don't want to disappoint you, but there are loads of £25-£26 deals for new customers at http://www.moneysupermarket.com/mobile-phones/brands/samsung/i9100-galaxy-s-ii/
