I'm thinking of getting my first non-work mobile and decided on the Samsung Galaxy S 2. I don't know if it's best just to buy the handset and get a sim from GiffGaff or go with a contract. I don't want to go above £15/month really. Can anyone recommend any decent website where I can find the best deals? Not too bothered about mins or text but would like a good amount of internet. How much web internet do people generally use? is 500mb enough or would I need more? I'm thinking of using it for casual web browsing plus google maps when I'm out and about but don't really know what this would take up. Anyone help?

Cheers?

Once you've decided on the best online deal, clear your cookies down and then buy it through Quidco. You can get up to £100 cashback depending on network / deal

www.quidco.com

Even GiffGaff have cashback (£5)

Jaybird, thanks. I was thinking about going through Quidco. I set up an account some time ago but don't use them much so far.

Not the cheapest but no contract.. I have mine on giff gaff, £10 a month 250 minutes, unlimited texts and unlimited internet The unlimited internet alone is worth it as it watches making match of the day on a saturday night shift go a lot quicker.

Thanks Foxarm. My preference would be to buy the handset and that GaffGaff £10 sim was the one I was looking at. I never thought to check Amazon though. This is the best price I've seen (barring fleabay) so may go for that. Cheers

Amazon had it down to around £383 a week ago (being sold by them, not on the marketplace) - expect it might drop again.

Using http://uk.camelcamelcamel.com/Samsun...uct/B004QTBQ2C to tell me when the price is sub £390.

I did this via topcashbAck as they pay more £110.00 sadly 5months into 2yrs and I'm still waiting...

http://www.topcashback.co.uk/ref/robsyuk < paid out over £150 since Aug just by shopping online & won an Ipad !!!

Is there a problem buying from the marketplace rather than Amazon themselves?

No, just that if the price is much of a muchness then I prefer to order from Amazon given their returns and customer service.

Nimbus

well, 99% sure I'm going to order from Amazon then get a GiffGaff SIM. Thanks for your help

The galaxy S2 is a fantastic phone, you won't regret it

Nimbus

Now, can anyone recommend a car holder/mount for this phone?

Brodit mounts are the only ones I'd ever buy for any phone. Pricey but the best, secure, no vibration, etc.

Plenty of on-line retailers for their stuff in the UK, just Google it.

To the OP, just got a Galaxy S2 myself, phone cost £135 but getting £60 cashback from Topcashback so £75 total. 18 month contract with T-Mobile, £20 for 100 mins + 100 texts + 500Mb data. Purchased from http://www.affordablemobiles.co.uk/

Used http://www.comparemobiledeals.com/ to find the best deal.

Voda had a deal for £70 with £35 Quidco cashback. £20.50 x 24 months, 300 minutes, texts, 500 MB. Returned because of coverage at home.

Subsequently got Motorola Atrix which I think is nearly as good for nil up front, £12 x 24 after Quidco cashback, 300 minutes, 300 text, internet, unlimited landline calls. Still on Android 2.2 and has a pentile (but very high res) screen, but it dual core with lots of memory, but very nice and much cheapness.

if u want to look at different tariffs etc - i use this site

Your phone actually cost £405 minus your cashback of £60 = £345.
Your tariff can be bought easily for £5/month.

So still cheaper on a contract than buying it outright I can do maths too, engineering degree helps

giff gaff is awesome! Buy offline and then you dont have to deal with ****ty networks and operators like orange grrrrr
