Raylo

I am due to upgrade my iPhone with EE but I don't necessarily want the latest phone and they still want more than I am paying now for my 6s.  Raylo popped up on my facebook and I wondered if anyone has used them to lease a phone with and what experience they have had with them.

    Looking at their website, Raylo seems a legit company but they seem to rent/lease phones out rather than letting people buy them outright. If you don't want to pay silly money, then buy something like an iPhone SE2 for £389 from Apple directly and pair that with a sim only plan of your choice. If you want to stay with EE, then over the phone they can offer your a 10gb sim only plan with unlimited calls/texts for a tenner each month (12 month contract) or if you need more data, they can offer you 160gb SO plan for £14/m.

    So what is the verdict on raylo?  Is it too good to be true?

    They are genuine but you rent the phone and when finished have yo send it back if pay a price to keep it.

    That's fine, I'd rent it for 3 years so it's only £1 to buy but is it safe? They use credit Kudos

    Its a phone rental scheme. If you rent it for 3 years it only costs £1 to buy your phone and the rental is less than a contract with a new phone  What do you think

    Sorry if you get this multiple times, I'm new to this. The lease for a sim only brand new phone with Raylo is cheaper than with a big company and if you take it out for three years they only want £1 to buy it. It seems too good to be true??

    I decided against raylo and rent from Music Magpie as even with a SIM its still cheaper than I was paying EE and I got an iPhone 11
