Can this deal be beaten?

LondonDiva

I'm looking to get a new phone and I know there are canny MSE'ers out there who may have spotted a better deal I may have missed.

The contract I've been offered is:

Samsung Note 3 Handset: Free

Unltd Mins
Unltd Texts
6GB 4G Data
£38.00 per month
Vodafone

Thanks in advance:)

Comparing deals makes no sense if you don't say how many minutes, texts and data you actually need.

For a Note 3 with Unltd+Unltd+6Gb the above deal is not bad, especially if you go to MobilePhonesDirect via TCB for £31.50 cashback.

Tesco Mobile

Motorola Moto g. 16GB Free

500 minutes
5000 texts
500 GB

Use family add ons for more minutes or GB for phones on the same account

£12.50 per month, 24 month contract

Should be more than enough allowance for most people.
Less than a third of the price of the Vodafone deal for one of the best phones available which has just been updated to the latest version of Android OS!

Forgot to add TCB about £18 for the Tesco deal

What is your actual usage?

Do you have cash for buying the phone?

If compared to this, the original deal (ignoring the cashback) means taking £454 loan for 24 months with 21.4% APR.

Think the 500gb is a typo... surely 500mb...

Oops sorry yes a typo
That would be an even better deal.

OP, you also didn't mention the minimum term?
And the handset is certainly not 'free'. Assuming a 24m contract, you are paying £912 for it minus the value of the airtime.

Thanks all for taking the time to provide feedback and suggestions.

In the end I got the deal for £34 pm and then once the corporate discounts offered by vodafone to certain businesses on top are applied, it will work out at £27.20 pm.
