Phone with free Xbox One?

aye
aye Posts: 21 Forumite
Am in the fortunate position to have a Z2 on contract and my wife has an iPhone 5s on PAYG (thanks to the EE price rise thread), so am looking to get my wife onto another contract, but looking to get a free Xbox One with it. Have searched around the net, but has anyone seen any good deals? Preferably 4G, with at least 1GB of data.

I have seen a piece of crap Nokia with a free Xbox One for 26.99 on O2, but the iPhone is locked to EE, so needs to be EE, orange or Tmobile. Essentially I just want the contract and I will request an iPhone SIM once I sign up.

Anyone seen anything around the £30 mark?

Cheers

    Bought the iPhone from CEX, so not the original owner unfortunately. Also wasn't on EE for 6 months and no longer a customer

    You didn't say how long the contract was for. Dialaphone have them for £24 on 24 month contract with older phones and ones on Orange.


    That works out at £580 for the 2 years, with 500 minutes and 250MB data. 250MB is not a lot of data, and you probably will exceed it on an iPhone. Getting to the 1GB mark runs to £35 a month.


    Given the Xbox can be got for £350 (Kinect Less) or £390 with Kinect from Tesco. You may be better getting a cheap SIM only deal and saving for the Xbox, its not that good a deal otherwise as it ties you in for 24 months for not a lot of savings.
