Samsung S3 Currys and cashback

Wikikenkey

Just noticed Currys has S3 for 399. Anyone know of possibilities for casback with this and what the warranty period is?

O2 have it on Jan sale for £99 and £26 a month unlimited calls/texts, why buy it outright when its so cheap on a unlimited contract ?

I have a sim-only £5.21 a month with 1GB data, 200 mins (enough for me) and 5000 texts (5.21 x 24 + 399) totally £524 over two years. I think your deal would cost me a bit more over two years - (26 x 24 + 99 = £723)

1GB ? be frugal on your SGIII data usage !

1GB plus wifi. Do you think that would be enough?

Any ideas on Currys and cashback and warranty?

Ok, just come off the phone with a manager at Currys.

Apparently 1 year warranty with Currys but once you register the phone after purchase with Samsung you get a 2 year warranty. So should anything go wrong in the first year, you can go back to Currys or Samsung, anything go wrong in the second year, Samsung.

I wonder how come Asda has a 2 year warranty straight from purchase.

2 years is standard with it

I have an S3 with 1gb data allowance, and have found it to be more than enough. I use wifi where possible, and have never gone over 700mb of data usage, and i am quite a heavy user

Thats all well & mighty jen but alot of apps on a smartyphones can use data in the background even when not being used, more apps = more usage + 1GB = not so smartphone/user = high bill !

Isn't the O2 sale item also 1GB?

I am yet to use more than 200mb a month, but I imagine some people can use many times that a month.

If you set your apps to only sync over wifi, keep an eye on usage, and set up the phone correctly then 1gig is easily enough. I have wifi at home and work which helps a lot.
