Hi,
My contract is up for renewal next month and I'm looking to change network.
I'd like to get an iPhone 6S and have seen deals on sites such as mobiles.co.uk etc.
Has anyone had experience getting contracts from third party sites or is it always better to go direct to the network?
Thanks

It's almost always better to go through third parties and not to forget about TCB/Quidco.

However, if you want a 2-years' warranty for iPhone instead of pathetic one year, you have to buy it from Apple directly and use on a sim-only contract or PAYG.

Thanks, I did think about buying it direct from Apple but I see they do deals for contracts too? So many options!

I think you are looking at the 30 day starter packs? Those are not contracts.

Oh aren't they? I didn't pay much attention, just looked quickly. Thanks for letting me know. Debating buying the phone outright and getting a SIM only contract or just getting a contract that includes the handset.

Vodafail don't even do 64gb, possibly because their price would be prohibiting.
They do 16gb with a similar bundle for £229+12x£64 or £9+24x£54

Vodafone is actually the network I want to leave! It's annoying as they seek to have the best deals just now. I was thinking of going with 3
