Advice on new mobile please
Hi guys
I've had a Samsung Galaxy Note for several years now and it has worked well but I am now looking at replacing it with a 4G mobile. I would like to keep with an Android handset, preferably with a 5 inch screen and am looking for unlimited texts / 100 mins call time / 1Gb data allowance. I have been with EE (Orange) for quite a long time and as I have no had any issues, I am happy to stay with them.
Ideally I would like to pay no more than £20 per month.
I would be really grateful to receive suggestions about a phone.
Thank you.

If you're happy with your current plan have you considered the Motorola G?
http://www.motorola.co.uk/products/moto-g
5" 720p display; Android (and you'll receive the latest updates far quicker than the competition) and it's also 4G capable.It's not your credit score that counts, it's your credit history. Any replies are my own personal opinion and not a representation of my employer.0 -

Available with EE here and I imagine with Carphone Warehouse and other dealers.0 -
I too will be changing my phone later this month. I have been offered the Samsung A3 from Carphone Warehouse at £17 50 for 500 mins 500 M and unlimited texts. or a bigger plan for £18 50. There is no upfront cost This is with o2 who are my current provider If I look at o2 the cost is £20 50 and £9 99 upfront cost.
I received an email from CPW yesterday offering me the Samsung 5 I think it is for a special discount and at £20 per month. Same no of minutes etc and data but this deal is with VP and I am reading a lot of negative posts regarding them .
Can I ask what difference there is between the two. I realise the 5 is a bigger screen but not sure if there is any great benefit I think this phone is £27 50 with o2 .
I also looked at the Z3 compact Sony at £21 50 with £60 upfront payment This was the price in the 02 shop.
Just a comment I had a call from someone the day after I was in the CWS stating that I had been in the shop. They had all my details and were saying that I could change right now and they would not charge me the fee of £10 for changing a month early. The person in the shop just said leave it until the 25th when there would be no fee to pay.
I was concerned that this might be a scam call. I was not able to get through to my local shop. I did phone Customer Services and they said they have nothing to say that I was called. The person was very pushy but I stood my ground and said I was going to deal directly with the assistant who helped me in store.
Advice and opinion would be appreciated .
Thank you Sue0
