Vodafone Upgrade (Samsung S8)

Good Afternoon!

I was wondering how well everyone has done with Vodafone upgrades? I've been with them about 15 years, currently on Sim Only, 10GB data, unlimited text / calls + Spotify for £9.20 a month.

I know the S8 is now about £490 in shops, but the best I can get out of them is £31.50 for 24 months, 26GB data, no Spotify.

It's not a bad deal, but not setting my world on fire.

Anyone squeezed them for more?

    If you dont want to buy a sim free S8 for £439 on Amazon then you can find a deal on Vodafone for a 1gb contract for £18 a month plus £40 up front. Then use this sim as a spare and carry on with your £9.60 sim.
    See Uswitch mobiles for S8 deals.
