NEW THREAD: Cheapest iPhones article

Hi, Looking at the iPhone XR deal on mobiles.co.uk they're offering £90 cashback anyway. The MSE discount code increases that by £10 to £100. But Isn't it better to instead use Quidco to get £30 cashback on top of the mobiles.co.uk £90 cashback? (it also pays the cashback sooner)

I am pretty sure it is, as usual.

Topcashback specifically states that they won't pay cashback on this deal so quidco might not either.

Both often say they say do and then it isn't paid anyway. Don't trust or rely on what they offer.

Hi, I’m confused as to how this can be allowed... I received an email from VM offering a deal on the iPhone XR & separate 30 day sim:

iPhone XR 64gb
Unlimited texts, 5000 mins & 20gb data
Plus - “free” Apple AirPods

Contract is split into two:
Phone is £27 a month for 3 years and they state it is 0% interest

However when you work it out, the cost of the phone comes to £972 and you can buy the phone direct from Apple for £749!! How can there be more than a £200 price difference and claiming the air pods are thrown in for free?!

Can anyone shed some light??

Not all contracts are good value for money, simple as that.

It’s interest free credit but the price is just the rrp so a company can charge what they like.
It is a bit naughty of VM.

Ah the infamous 0% Representative APR scam.. Yup, quite the tricksters.. O2 do it and a bunch of others too.

Anybody checked out this new player in town who's selling iPhone 11s on a subscription?

£25.99 for a iPhone 11 for 24 months... Sounds too good to be true?

For IPhone fans, the iPhone XS sim free is on sale (29/12/19) at Argos & John Lewis for £629 for the 64gb model. Others are still selling it for £900 + .

Hi
I keep getting e mails and phone calls re a free phone saying I have won if I pay the 1.00 postage they do not have the pay pal option and I am fairly sure it is a scam does anyone know if it is or how I can stop these e mails and calls. I did do a questionnaire online and it did say I would be put into a draw
