Re: New mobile time - but which network?
 

Can't think your go wrong with the S5.
The S4 is popular at work 3 people got them.
My nice has one as well. I prefer the feel of my Z1, but that's also subjective too.
Go to a shop and have a try of them all.
The shop assistants fall over themselves to get a sale

Look into tesco. Excellent customer service and some good sim only packages.

Re: New mobile time - but which network?
 

I live in Essex and my Three coverage is fine - I'd recommend them to anyone. Their customer service is miles better than wretched O2.


The S5 is a decent phone but my Samsung-savvy mate just went from an S2 to a HTC One M8. I've not seen it in person yet but it sounds at least equal to an S5.

Shel's HTC One has a disappointing camera.
Great quality feel & sound, yes.

Re: New mobile time - but which network?
 

I have mine with Talk Mobile. It is actually Vodafone but Carphone Warehouse use their network and are very substantially cheaper. I have just signed my son up for a 2 year contract, Nokia Lumia 520 (as windows phones will take over soon), 100 minutes (as he never calls anyone), 5000 texts and 500Mb data, all for £8.50 per month including the phone free. If you look on the Talk Mobile website they have more expensive contracts with better phones but are usually much cheaper than everywhere else.

I would recommend 3 but only for the fact you don't pay extra for 4g and can get unlimited data.

Other than that, you may have to just go for whatever gets the best signal.

If they are contributing im guessing you don't have a separate work phone, if that's the case have you considered getting a second phone for work? Find a half decent phone that has signal where you need it for work and get it paid for by them.

Get a second phone that you want and has signal everywhere else you need it.

Just a thought

Re: New mobile time - but which network?
 

I am looking into replacing my S3 when my contract is up at 750mb of data from orange is poor. I am looking at getting 200 minutes, 5000 texts and unlimited data from 3 at £13 a month on the basis the extra money I save (30 day contract so 2nd month i'm onto a winner) and hopefully S5 comes down to a reasonable price then I will enjoy it. My days of spending £35+ a month on a mobile are over with rolling contracts like that around

Anyone know what the going rate for a galaxy 4 or 5 is sim free?

I am iPhone guy through and through so buying outright isn't an option for me so I do go with the hefty monthly plans.

But I would imagine that the galaxy's aren't nearly as pricey?

If so dirt cheap sim only deals can be pretty good as fallen says. If you can front the cost of the phone then you are prob much better off in the long run

Re: New mobile time - but which network?
 

Work would give me a phone but every media guide, cricketer and journo already has my personal number so I really don't want 2 phones knowing they'd all just call me in the personal one, instead work give me roughly what everyone else's phone costs a month. So £30, I pay anything over that. It came about also because when we first got work phones on Vodafone it wouldn't work.

Orange weren't prepared to offer anything great the other day, but I didn't speak to the retention department. Maybe I need to get my Egyptian market mode on and get haggling first.

Swap the personal to a work phone perhaps? Unless you just don't want 2 phones which is fair enough.
