Nokia Lumia 625 - who has the best offers and which network?

wazza

Son is keen on the Nokia Lumia 625. The cheapest i found is at carphonewarehouse.

It will be a PAYG tarriff. Thinking of EE because like orange it offers 2 for 1 cinema tickets. Son is aware it has limited apps compared to android.

Is EE a good network?

Are the phones supplied by carphonewarehouse locked? If yes how easy is it to unlock?

Is the phone available cheaper elsewhere?


Thanks in advance for any replies

I would get it at Carphone Warehouse. You are 99% certain to get an unlocked and unbranded (no operator junk) phone.


If you have an existing Orange PAYG SIM buy it as an upgrade for £129.95 and you won't have to top up.


Don't let them cut the SIM to fit (it takes a small one) but ask them if you can bring the SIM back once you have sorted out your contacts.


Once you have the new phone look at "3" and their 3 2 1 PAYG deal which is really good for light use smartphones or if Orange suits best get the SIM cut to size.


I have a Nokia 920 and I think it is really good. Some things have to be done differently compared to an iPhone but I'm pleased with my Windows phone experience.
