Do you tend to get the best deals on mobiles in store or online?

I imagine online would be cheaper - when you include possible quidco/topcashback cashback which would possibly be given to the worker who sold you a contract!

Has anyone got a really good deal instore? I dislike phone shop as they tend to full of wide boys(& girls) who will give you the hard sell if you don't know their tricks!

Research research search search is how i find best deals but that is never a contract . Last few phone purchases have been CPW O2 shops and PC Component supplier .

Wrong. I make a profit on all my contracts and would PAY if used PAYG.

What's the secret?

I once made around £160 profit on an O2 contract a while back but haven't found anything similar since?

Cashback deals. I currently have 8 contracts and make a reasonable profit on all of them. Just sold the phone from the latest for £65 before costs, but the contract will also earn a small profit overall after all cashbacks. Got a free deal towards the end of last year which will make me more than your £160, since the phone sale alone fetched more than that!

I am pointing out how i find a deal the fact that i never use a contract does not make me wrong . If i took out a contract i would pay an awful lot more than on PAYG

As you said "i find best deals" and now are saying that YOU would pay MORE with a contract you are wrong. If it COSTS you anything on PAYG and they PAY me it's hardly rocket science. I earn a profit and you spend money.

A dealer on Vodafone - and it wasn't around for long. I managed to grab one for another person I order for but the deals now are less profitable (though can still be profitable and give you a free bundle).
