How old is your mobile?

iPhone 6 - couple of years old now, paid for it outright and have a 12 month Sim deal with Vodafone which is £8.50 for 5gb data, unlimited texts and calls. That does run out very soon but hard to get through on live chat but keen to sign another deal - but don't think they do the 50% off deals anymore.

My phone before that was an iPhone 4 which lasted me years until I got the iPhone 6 - doubt I'll change my phone for anotner couple of years yet.

My Dads still using an old Sony handset of mine that's about 15 years but has nearly given up.

The deal will continue on a rolling basis until cancelled by you or Vodafone. If Vodafone haven't sent you notification that they will be moving you to a new, less favourable plan, do nothing (unless you signed a contract that would automatically rise after 12 months, of course.)

I've had my OnePlus X for about 9 months now. Got it just before they stopped production for it. Which incidentally it is now selling on Amazon in new condition (how it's new I'll never know because they stopped production months back) for £499. :eek:

Still got my original Philips Savvy from 1999 tucked away in a drawer somewhere I believe, and it still works.

It's not a phone, but I still have a BT-Cellnet PUFFL (Pay Up-Front For Life) SIM card.

I bought it just after the turn of the century for £50, and still get 200 minutes a month free.

These days, inclusive allowances are much more generous, so it doesn't save me anything now (as I have another unlimited contract). But sixteen years of free calls was definitely worth the outlay.

Has anyone else still got one of these free-forever SIMs?!

I have a LG G4, that I bought new on Amazon sim free a year ago for £214. With a sim only deal on EE for £10 a month. 500 mins talk, 1gb data and unlimited texts. Great phone, absolutely love it. Im a real tech lover, but can't see myself needing to upgrade it for a few years.

Yes, we have two PUFL's in the family bought the same way you did.

They don't get much use these days for the same reason.

Mines a 5 years old iPhone 4s. It's showing its age a bit, sort of throws the odd wobbly but gets me bye.

Contract virgin £15 per month for unimited calls, texts and 20gb (rollover) of data. I don't have wifi/broadband so I use my phone for Internet and sometimes tether my laptop so I use loads of data.

I will be upgrading to an iPhone 6 Plus as an XMAS present, second hand for approx. £250. I will keep my virgin call plan. I use my phone for the internet so want a bigger screen, I'm iOS mad and the iPhone 6 plus fits the bill, no way am I (or anyone) paying £700 for the iPhone 7 plus.

Samsung Note 4 from a couple of years ago. I do get the itch to upgrade now and again but when I look at what I would be changing to it doesn't seem worth it. My Note does everything I need.


I'm on a 1000 min / Unlimited texts & 6gb data for £6 per month.


This is a deal I negotiated when my provider cocked up & I complained. (managed to get kids and wifie on the same deal).


I don't think I'll be changing provider for a wee while ;-)

Current Mobile: iPhone 6 (2014). Bought Sim Free and on £10 Tesco Mobile fully capped rolling contract now
Previous mobile: iPhone 4S (2011). Bought Sim Free and on £10 Tesco Mobile 12 month fully capped contract
Previous previous mobile: iPhone 4 (2010)
Previous previous previous mobile: iPhone 3GS (2009)
Previous previous previous previous mobile: iPhone 3G (2008)

I didn't get the first iPhone but I became a slave to the system until 2012 when I ran out of money (teacher training). I then decided after the 4S to only buy a new iPhone (I'm still an Apple slave) when it has a key feature I want. I bought the iPhone 6 for Apple Pay and I'm waiting for the fully waterproof iPhone (the iPhone 7 is only water resistant and there is a slight difference between resistant and proof) then that should be my last upgrade until I think of some other really worthwhile feature.

iPhone 4 that I've had for about 3 years. It was a free upgrade from my previous phone, an ITC Desire (what a misnomer!). When my contract ran out last year Three moved me on to a £9 pm all you can eat calls and data, which is great, and much better than the contract I had with them before. It's only for 1 year though so I don't know if they will be as generous next time. I don't use it that much though so I'm not costing them a lot.
