Have you already bought the contract or are you thinking of buying the contract?

Bought it.

I asked a couple of friends and I read all the thread on HUKD; the general consensus is that it is a great deal; especially as it's 12 months.

EDIT: bought it earlier today, so still time to cancel up to 7 or 14 days after receiving the item.

Nope, no new super glitches to report from me izzeyb.

Just thought I'd say :hello: to everyone. Placement is quite intense now and they put you in a role where you are a junior doctor but you are supervised all the time.

I've also gone and bought my first ever smartphone! :cool: Have had my good old 'brick' for 6 years and it's lasted well.

So I've gone and bought an iPhone! :j It's a deal I came across on HUKD with Phones4U:

iPhone 4 8GB with 300 minutes, unlimited texts, 500MB data and 2GB BT openzone WIFI thingamajig; £36 per month on a 12 month contract. Having done some research online, it seems that it's a great deal. I ain't bothered by not having the 4S; for me, this will be a BIG step and I probably couldn't tell the difference between a 4 and 4S.

I've heard that the iPhone 5 is coming out towards the end of this year, so I'm hoping in 12 months time that the cost of the newer iPhone will come down. I'm also getting £75 auto-cashback as I'm a Barclays student account holder and I've got £50 Quidco tracking too! :T

Can anyone else confirm if the above is a good deal? HC84? Or anyone else who has expertise with prices for conract smartphones?

hi karlie:wave:
sorry can't comment on the deal i'm so useless:(
hope you are not distracted from the job by keeping tabs on us from your new iphone :rotfl::rotfl:

So jt seems this is new news! Just went back in and spoke to SA. Prices have been labelled at 1p since 8am

Other 1p items that i missed out on are aero lamb and malteaster bunnies

Beware its not all egg type products that are reduced. Kinder eggs still full price (i was being really optimistic with that!) and bags of Smartie eggs also full price

Do you know what the price of the six pack of creme eggs is scanning at please? and are you also saying the aero lambs are a penny? if so may have to get out of my jammies and out the door as i saw a pile of these a couple of hours ago in a store that doesn't have a scanner TIA xxxx


Also saw in A's this afty Frizzease 3 day straight and a load of other frizzease products which are normally £7 each marked up as three for a tenner, i know its nowhere near as good as the glitch a few years ago in T's where we were getting them at three items for £2 but my stash of these has just about run out and needs topping up. They also had other Frizzease products at two for a fiver HTH xxx

bubbs

lindt bunnies must have gone to 1p today, i tried some instore yesterday and still scanned at 40p, didnt try today typical! :mad::mad:

In that case.....

At the end of your contract make sure to give them a cancellation notice and get yourself a giffgaff SIM. Giffgaff runs on the O2 network and is owned by the same parent company.

For £10 per month you can get 250 minutes, unlimited Text and (This is the important bit) unlimited Internet. There's no contract and you can top up with O2 PAYG vouchers from Tesco. If you spend £20 per month you get the same as above but 800 minutes.

Most of these contracts for smartphones limit your data access which is where you can get caught out and end up paying more, to really get the best from a Smartphone you should have no less then 3GB per month IMHO (I know there will be people here who only use 500k per month...so leave it!!), with some web browsing and the occasional youtube vid you can use 3GB without too many problems.

As an example a single page of MSE forum takes about 600k (there's lots of graphics and stuff), so you can work out the numbers yourself. If you use the MSE APP that number will come down but you still get sent adverts etc...which also chew up your data allocation.

Enjoy the phone and welcome to the wonderful world of APPS, you'll be up all night!!

They always have loads of price flop mags and magazines in there. Grabbed a load earlier when I went on a cake flop run.
