Guest undisclosedpower Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Aside from ebay? Prices around the net seem to be floating between £500-515 and while i'm probably thinking wishfully that i'll find it cheaper. I figured it couldn't hurt to ask. Obviously I'm looking for a Sim free and unlocked device. Anyone have any cheaper prices? Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chowdarygm Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Check in Germany, its cheaper here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest drewstiff Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Check in Germany, its cheaper here I believe 3 sell it for £499 unlocked. Well I think it's unlocked - I bought mine on contract from them and I was able to use my Vodafone SIM fine, although YMMV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In germany you can get a factory unlocked model for 450 pounds (520 euros) but currently all are out of stock and I was lucky to get one :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest undisclosedpower Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 So I caved and went to a three store near work and picked up a payg device. @drewstiff Yep £499 at three, my device ended up being unlocked and i've put both my giffgaff and my o2 sim in it. Putting on the MCR now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest fsas180 Posted December 10, 2011 Report Share Posted December 10, 2011 I would just tweet @vodafoneukdeals who can offer the phone for £36 a month over 18 months, handset free. You get 900 minutes, unlimited texts and 750mb data, and 2gb of BT Openzone. In total this works out at £648, assuming the handset is £500, you're paying just under £9 a month for that tarriff, better than any SIM only deal. Plus, if you have a problem with the phone, they will send you a replacement next day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest StuMcBill Posted December 14, 2011 Report Share Posted December 14, 2011 If you are a current customer with O2, you can get it from them for £450, it is locked to O2 though. O2 will unlock it free if you have been a contract customer for a while or you can pay £7 and get a code on eBay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest unfitguy Posted December 17, 2011 Report Share Posted December 17, 2011 I just purchased a 3 grade B from CEX for £400, was going to get it sim unlocked stuck my T Mobile sim in and it recognised straight away. So effectively mine looks mint is unlocked and cost £400 quid. Unsure of best new price but I thought I'd post this in case it was helpful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jmagee Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 No internet??? That's got to be a deal breaker.

Guest jmagee Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 I paid £150 to do a handset only upgrade with phones 4 u. This kept me on my same 18mth Orange contract £26/mth Not bad as I probably wouldn't have gone to a much cheaper contract anyway and can upgrade in 15 months.

I think the point is you keep the sim as a spare or throw it away :P - Its cheaper this way than buying it offline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest r5ingh Posted December 24, 2011 Report Share Posted December 24, 2011 (edited) No internet??? That's got to be a deal breaker. Nah, I use another sim in the phone! Where else can you get a Nexus for £10p/m at 0% interest? :D It beats it buying sim free! :) Edited December 24, 2011 by r5ingh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
