Mobile Phone Contracts Technology

[Janey]

I have an iPhone 7 which I've had for 3 years now. The only issue is battery life but I can deal with it.

My sim only deal is £22 p/m at the moment (o2) but I'm considering switching to GiffGaff for £15 p/m and no contract (they use o2).

What does everyone else pay for their contract? Any other GiffGaff users here?

Sky, who also use O2.

Signed up on Black Friday, got SIM-only for £6/mth. Unlim mins & text, 3GB data. Crucially though, you keep your unused data and can add it on any time.

So if you use 2GB of your data one month, the unused 1GB gets banked. If you find yourself getting close to your 3GB in a subsequent month, add some of your banked data and you'll be fine.

If you never use your banked data, you can exchange it for discounts on a new phone or other stuff from Sky apparently.

Easily the best deal I found at the time

ID Mobile. Zero issues. Cracking deal at the time - 8GB, Unlimited calls and texts, £10 a month. Purchased an S9 outright when it was the 'big one' and promised myself if I'm spending that sort of money outright on a phone then I'm keeping it till it becomes as unfashionable as an iPhone 4.

Probably cheaper SIM Only deals out there now but that was a phenomenal deal at the time. ID Mobile is basically Carphone Warehouse and they use Three's network. Got the whole family on SIM Only deals after leaving o2 which was going down the pan until Sky intervened.

Also with Sky. The rolling over of data is great.

I pay £9 a month for unlimited texts etc and 2GB of data which is more than enough for me.

I pay about £35 a month on a contract with Vodafone. I thought it was an alright deal at the time as it covered the cost of the handset and I get Spotify and 50GB data which can be used in most countries around the world. Mine is up for renewal again soon as well but I can't imagine I'll get much cheaper as I'm going to go for one of the newer mobiles I think (currently on Pixel 3XL).

I have a Samsung Galaxy S8, which I've also had for about 3 years.. My main issue is that I've dropped it several times, and the top corners of the phone screen have shards missing - though thankfully these aren't part of the "usable" area.

I currently have 6 months left on a SIM only contract with EE after paying off my phone. I managed to get them to price match giffgaff's offering after saying I wanted to leave; £12 p/m for 10GB data, unlimited minutes, and unlimited texts. They didn't really have too many offers for new phones that interested me, and I'm trying to save a bit of money.

I'll probably swap to Sky and get a new phone in this year's black friday sales.
