Brand NEW iPhone SE 32gb for £179

gazzyp

Carphone ware house are doing iPhone SE 32gb on a 30day vodafone contract for £13.00 per month and £179 upfront. So I bought the Phone and signed up to the 30day contract. 24hrs later I called Vodafone who cancelled the contract there and then. No charge as I'd not used it. Now have brand new phone, and my own 30day contract with another provider and a better deal for only £10/month. Happy days. :T

Maybe not if the SIM had not been inserted, CPW are renowned for having iPhones that lock to the first inserted SIM.


edit: Looking at the deal it is an unlocked phone along with a SIM only 30 day contract.

CarPhoneWarehouse stopped doing the locking to the first SIM card you install in the phone around the time of the iPhone 7 release and haven’t done it again since. Buying a iPhone from CarPhoneWarehouse is now just buying an unlocked phone unless you buy it on a handset contract and those phones are already locked to the contract network now. These deals like gazzyp is describing of adding a sim only deal to a sim free phone are done with their unlocked phones and not with their network stock from what I know.

Went with id mobile, carphone warehouse own brand (use three network). Phone not locked to any network.

Incidentally, this is the second time ive done this. Did it last year for my sons phone with Virginmoblie.

If this is unlocked this is a corker if a deal. If you want a cheap iPhone the SE is a superb option as it uses the current software. No need to spend £1000!
This is probably the last of the small phones as well.

Looked on the website, but can't find it - is the deal closed?

looks like that one has finished although there are still some other Black Friday deals going.

I think that it is not enough, you need something more powerful, no sense
