iPhone 6 suggestions - buy outright vs contract

dave88uk

If you're absolutely adament that you want the iPhone 6 then the below is worth a look:

£43/month, upfront cost £9.99 (16GB version). Thats 10GB of data with EE, usual unlimited calls/texts. Anyone who knows their stuff will know that this is a cracking deal.

In actual fact it beat what EE Retentions team offered me to stay yesterday, the very, very best that they could do was £174 upfront on £40.99 a month for 2GB data.

Anyway, usual trick. Always go through TopCashBack (or similar), that landed me an unguaranteed but would be highly welcome £47.25.

If anyone can beat that I'd be chuffed to know.

Many sim only deals will beat it.

Your deal costs £1042 over the 24 months.

My sim only on Three with 2000 minutes, 5000 texts and as much data as I can use works out at £899 over 24 months with a 16GB iPhone 6.

Where is this deal? I can't seem to find it on the EE webiste? Though I could have easily missed it!

Thanks!

I don't see it either, I think they are mistaken with perhaps an iPhone 5s/5c on the same page..

I must admit that Samsung's messaging app gets on my tits with it's automatic SMS to MMS conversion once you go over 3 SMS messages in one go or start adding emoticons, but that takes 5 minutes to put right on a rooted handset.

Rooting a handset is not really something you everyday user wants to end up doing, and if you want to go down the alley of customising via tinkering with software etc, just jailbreak an iPhone?!?

I want to buy the iPhone 6 outright. I was going to order it from Apple. I've looked on topcashback and the only merchant on there offering cash back is buymobiles.net it's offering cash back of £50.50 but you have to take a contract. I don't want a contract. Are there any cash backs on buying it outright?

No. That doesn't happen.

A friend of mine is stuck on iOS 5 with his jailbroken iPhone 4S. The jailbreakers seem to have been unable to crack the later iOS's. Current version is 7.1.2 and 8 will be out next week. He's finding that some legit apps won't update now and newer ones won't install at all on his outdated OS. My old unjailbroken 3GS on 6.1.6 (the last one for that model) is now a better proposition. I keep telling him to let the phone update and get rid of the jailbreak.

A 5% cashback credit card, if you can.
