    12 month warranty apparently, not 24.
  • Thanks guys will pass this onto my friend and hopefully she can get one from ones of those x
  • i got one 2 weeks ago from asda, ordered it 11pm on friday night and got it on wednesday. it was £399 but has 24 month warranty and theres also the option of cashback (although from what i can gather asda don't have the best feedback on that end).
    my sister on the other hand bought one on amazon in blue for £380 and it arrived within 2 days, it was an order fufilled by amazon.co.uk
  • You will be looking around the £400 mark,

    Was the one your sister bought from Amazon under 2 year guarantee?

    Click the link above, then
    This is a UK Sim-Free Phone. Learn more.
    It will have a manufacturer’s warranty that is valid in the UK.
    It isn't 100% clear to me, but Samsung's manufacturer's warranty is 2 years.

    SGS3 Samsung give a limited 24 month warranty with this phone .

    That is of course in addition to any sellers warranty .

    Unfortunately, this is not the case, especially for 'grey' import.
    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.
