iPhone 7 plus

[Hesston4860s]

Looking at upgrading to iPhone 7 plus from iPhone 5s
I'm currently with O2 on sim only 1 month rolling contract, yes I can upgrade with O2 but quite frankly they are taking the p155 on there contract prices for iPhone. It wouldn't be so bad but I've been with them since they where Cellnet in 95 !.

So looking for a good deal, don't care which network !.

Anybody know of anything ?.

Thanks.

The best deals are always found by keeping your existing phone and getting a sim only deal.

As you have the dreaded iPhone, you *must* get it unlocked by 'Cellnet' before/if you you switch network.

buy phone off apple, go sim only. I've accumulated a few iPhones as spares now so now sim only until I've used a few up or sold them.

That was my original plan !, but since the RPA have ffuked me over with my BPS I'm now skint and simply can't go buy a phone outright !.

I still have all my old phones but my :-
3GS is completely dead
4S works but the speakers dead and it won't hold charge very long
5S (current phone) needs to be on permanent charge as batterys dead

My phones tend to have a hard life the 5s has been the best, lasted 2 yr 9 months.

You could get a new battery for the 5s off Amazon/ebay? Its an easy swap, theres a guide on ifixit.com

Alternatively, buying a 5S or an SE is far cheaper than buying the latest model, whether it's outright purchase or on contract.

Buying outright (Carphone Warehouse have always been cheapest when I've been in the market) and putting a Sim in from elsewhere is always going to be the cheapest option. Contract phones work out as very expensive credit IMO.

u switch.com i use when looking around for phones.

I'm in contract until August but next time I'll be swaying towards Sim Only.

Have you tried e bay, I bought my last 5s off there, a refurbed one for under £200 and it's been spot on

Alternative No2 - get a decent Android phone for half the money (or quarter if you find the right one!)

Errr no, I like my iPhone !.

All sorted now.
Jet black iPhone 7 plus heading my way from carphone warehouse, got a much much better deal from them than O2 could do.
All in it's costing the same as buying just the phone outright.

I buy my phones from GiffGaff, 2 of the kids also have monthly plans with them but the others are with Three and Vodaphone

Phoned O2 which I have been with for 15yrs told them carphone warehouse deals now they are going to match it.

I did the exact same thing but O2 wouldn't budge and just said get it from carphone warehouse, been an O2 customer for 21/22 years !.
