Result? Now for my S3

Wikikenkey

I am with Virgin on 200 mins, 5000 texts and 1Gb Data for £15.38 a month.

I have just phoned them up because even though my contract ends in December, recorded message on 789 says I can upgrade now.

They have agreed to upgrade me now but Samsung S3 is £33 a month for a few more minutes, texts and 1Gb than I need. Too expensive.

I have taken a sim only deal and managed to get it down to £5.21 a month - 200 mins, 1000 texts and 1Gb Data. Sounds to me like a good deal? - now to find the cheapest Samsung S3 and buy it outright - any ideas?

By the way I ended up phoning Virgin twice within the space of 10 mins because the first annoying customer service guy would not budge and said I could only upgrade from December or buy out the contract at £54.00. After a long and fruitless conversation with him, I phoned up again after 10 mins and spoke to someone else who was quite quickly able to give me this deal. It really does depend on who you get through to these days.

Check http://www.hotukdeals.com/search?action=search&keywords=s3 , but be careful as some prices can be cheap because of a 1-year warranty instead of 2.

If the package is suitable for you, the £5.21 a month is a good price.

If you are interested, the Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini is due for release soon - it can be pre-ordered SIM-Free on Amazon for £300.

Nexus might be good the s3 mini has very poor specs, better going for an s2 than an s3 mini

I purchased a mobile phone online from Prepaymania about 16 months ago. Unfortunatley the phone has a fault but Samsung offer a 2 year warranty so they arranged for it to go to a repair centre.
The phone has been returned un-repaired stating that it is has an invalid European warranty.
When I enquired further I discover it was made in India and not to EU specification so no repairs can be done in the Uk.
The suggestion was to complain to Prepaymania and request a replacement that is European Spec.
Obviously, so far, I have not got anywhere with my complaint to Prepaymania, they state it is out of their 1 year warranty.
