Samsung Galaxy Note 4 sim free

Maryartist

Hi, I want to buy a Samsung Galaxy Note 4.
I would like to be on a 3 contract but the cheapest one with a note 4 is £38 + £99.99 upfront phone cost = £1011.99 total 2yr cost via Uswitch.


On average a sim free note4 is £599.99


I found one from Simply Electronics for £435 but looking at reviews of the company they are a Scam.
I want to buy a reputable UK phone with 16mp camera from a reputable company. The Asian imports only have 8mp camera.


So the cheapest I have found so far is £535 via Amazon - Cellular Innovations. Then I can get a sim only contract from 3 at £20 for 12 months.


I feel if I reduce the monthly payments down then if I manage to not kill the phone in the 2 yrs I would still be paying a low monthly fee, instead of a high £38 even though I have paid for the phone.


Can anyone suggest a cheaper alternative in Jan Sales?
or any other option of buying via a cash back/discount code to buy this one from Amazon?


Challenge on..... I have spent 3 days looking and now I am asking you expert moneysavers can you beat it?

By restricting yourself to just one network you're seriously reducing your ability to cost save.

Cheapest contract on the above link around £30 a month and only £10 upfront cost. Also can get £30 cashback through Topcashback

Might find it difficult for a Note 4 in the sales . No point selling below the asking price.

My partner got one a few months ago with EE for £30 a month and £100 to pay with 1GB data she was a EE customer in excisting contract which had ended. Daughter got hers a few weeks back it was a pink one from Car phone warehouse sim free for £599.95 she has a 3 sim card in it she got from her friend cash from his existing contract for S5 he didnt like too many problems with it so he sold S5 and she bought rest of his contract but still in his name. She also getting £40 cashback from TCB.

She did order it original from Mobilefun but they kept moving the date back and she got fed up of being let down, so ordered from CPW came next day

not really, set up a giffgaff account, order a free giffgaff sim ( you dont need to use it) then you login to your giffgaff account and goto order the phone, this way you only pay for the phone which is £26.06 over 24 months as All giffgaff phones are sold unlocked then you can get a 3 sim only plan and use that

Thank you all for your advice. I will look in to them.


I need to have a 3 contract because they have installed a mast in our town and is the best signal. Theres no point having the best phone if you handicap it with a dodgy signal.


Thanks again

Nice idea but that would make the cost of the phone £625.44 instead of £535.
