MSE iPhone SE and Vodafone deal... help please!

snaver

Can anyone help me please? I've been looking at the deal for the new iPhone SE, as featured in this weeks email, and it really looks too good to be true. The total price for a 64GB phone and 6GB of data every month (excluding the £10 cashback) Is £603 over two years through mobiles.co.uk, yet the same package on the Vodafone website comes in at £865 – some £262 more expensive, from the providers themselves. Now I KNOW that Martin and his team would never knowingly recommend or advertise a scam, but what's the catch? How can this company afford to do this offer more than 25% cheaper than the actual provider? Any ideas please? It just makes me slightly wary, especially as we are always told that if something looks too good to be true, it probably is too good to be true.

Having just looked at the this board, however, and seen the thread about Vodafone complaints, I'm wondering if I should move to Vodafone (from O2, which I'm perfectly happy with) or not. Again, any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

If you want to do this deal on mobiles.co.uk via the MSE link then you have less than 3 days left. I have used mobiles.co.uk with no problem before but like most mobile firm they will do a credit check.
Look at the same phone on sky mobiles who have it for £23 a month for 8gb for two years then £9.50 for year 3. Sky mobile use the same network (o2) as you are already on and you can still transfer your number.
I think it comes to £662 over 3 years so you are getting year 3 at £5 a month rather than finding a new contract at Vodafone.
