Samsung Galaxy S2

WelshBurty

My mobile contracts up and want to get a smart phone contract on O2 and settled on getting a Samsung Galaxy S2.

Best deal I've found for a light user is 100min, unlimited texts, 100Mb for £18.50 24 month contract.

Anyone know of a cheaper deal, or where I could get the S2 separately for less than £120?

Thanks Cisco. The only (big) issue for me is that they're not auto-cashback, but thanks for looking into it for me.

That is autocash back option. But with only £25... It is better than nothing...

I don't want to put you off, as it's a good phone, but 100mb is really not enough for a smart phone. You'll end up over your allowance in no time at all, and all the subsequent data charges that will follow. You're better off paying a couple of quid more for a better allowance.

Why would anyone want to pay 18.50*24 for this phone? That's over £444! Surely you can buy the phone much cheaper than this.

Just buy the phone outright and get an Ovivo sim. They give you 100 minutes, 100 texts and 200mb free each month.

Sorted!

Thanks for all the advice everyone.
Only need 100mb due to computer at work and Wifi at home.
I tried looking for a sub £120 Samsung Galaxy S2, but couldn't find one anywhere. Friends of mine had got them cheaper in the past, but for some reason the S2 has gone up in price (even though the S3's out?).

Went for £16.83/mth (24 months) deal in the end as couldn't find anything better for O2. Should arrive in next couple of days.

I wanted O2 due to broadband deal and great customer service, but I've never heard of the Ovivo network before. Why's this not mentioned on the main site, or have I missed it?

I have wifi at work and at home, but I still end up using just less than 1GB per month. If I were you, I'd switch data off on your phone, and just switch it back on if you really need to use it. 100mb is easily reached regardless of wifi accessibility

Ovivo use the Vodafone network.

The most obvious downsides are that:

1) They fund the service by internet adverts (although from the posts I've seen here this isn't, currently, a major hassle).

2) The service seems unsustainable in its current form, so may well not be a long term plan.
