Best place to purchase a new Samsung Phone SIM only

suestew

Hi, me and partner are in the market for a new phones but don't want to spend best part of £1,000 each, our current Samsung mobiles are not allowing updates anymore but we do like Samsung. Have seen the S23 on ebay, states it's new 5G 128GB -6GB RAM for around £150.
Anyone got any advice of where to buy and not get ripped off
Thanks

The current price for the S23 at Samsung is £700, whatever you're looking at on eBay is either hooky or you've mis-read. Think all UK spec S23's are 8GB, so mebbe an import.

Is £150 your budget?

That's what I thought about ebay. Budget around £500 and don't mind older models but want to be able to still get updates.

I like my Pixel 8a - guaranteed software updates until 2031! The 6- and 7- series also get updates guaranteed for a few more years. Also never had any issues with Samsung in the past, but they don't support their phones for as long.

I've bought my last phones from Amazon and Argos. You can get some cracking deals on eBay, but you also need to be able to sift through the crap as well.

If you are eligible for a Bluelight or Perks at Work account then you can get some good deals direct with Samsung. They currently have a trade in plus £100 cashback offer for the S23 and S23 fe range.

Could be worth checking even if you aren't able to use the above accounts as they are still offering the trade in deal.

Alternatively take a look at Giffgaff for their almost new phones.

I've bought a few second hand phones over the years using eBay. Always choose a business that allows returns. I've sent some back and never had a problem with refunds.
