Samsung Galaxy S II wanted - the cheapest contract??

alirob12

Hi, I am looking to get my wife the Galaxy S II. Currently she is on pay as you go. I would not want to pay more than £20 a month and would not like to pay for the phone (i know it may not be possible) but hopefully there are good deals out there (e.g. trade in old phone etc). She needs unltd txts, 500mb of data and 200-300minutes.

Does anyone know of any good deals? I am not fussed what network it is on?

Thank you

24x£20.42 if she can survive with 300 texts: http://www.affordablemobiles.co.uk/contract-mobile-phones/t-mobile/mrc_pound20/samsung/galaxy_s_ii/24451068.html?source=afff&source=afff&affid=149179&source=webgains&siteid=20363

Thats great thank you.

I guess it will be hard to beat your find? 20.42 is pretty good . Yes 300 txts should be fine especially as most family and friends use smartphones so she can use ping chat or simmilar to txt (or emails). One of the main things she needs is skype. Do you know if when using skype for video calls - it uses free minutes or not? Thank you

Skype uses only data for any calls, but AFAIK not all networks allow using skype. No problems with using it when on wifi though.

How about this deal for £17 per month?

Not bad, but +£110 upfront.

I'd recommend the HTC Sensation if you want something less than £20/month. Similar specs and it's a great phone.

+£30 Quidco, it works out to £17/month.

£60 quidco / topcashback makes it only £50 upfront.

Sell your old phone??

The same applies to the first deal.
24*£20.42=£490
24*£17+£110=£518
