My contract with o2 expires around 24th August. Looking for one of the above on a 12 month contract, 300 mins, unlimited texts and 500mb data The only one I can find is this one from Phones4u http://www.phones4u.co.uk/shop/shop_contract_details.asp?ItemKey=519740&MPItemKey=541660&NetKey=2#offer_detailsSo what's the deal with places like Phones4u, how do they make their money, why can't I get the same deal from Vodafone and what's the catch if any? A few questions there for you to get your teeth into

Just gone through them for a Galaxy S3 on Orange (when the retards actually validate my sim, cunts) and although it was the same price as direct through Orange per month, the phone was free, instead of the £50 Orange wanted, plus a free 32gb micro SD card and a £30 hard case. fuck knows how they make their money, but it works for me!

So you can recommend them Leggett? My plan is the S2 for 12 months then upgrade to the S3 at the end of the 12 months when it's come down in price

If I was to try to get O2 to match the Phones 4U deal would it best to phone them?

Thanks Sam, not sure they will do that, bearing in mind it's a free phone and 12 month contract, plus my contract isn't up with them until 23rd August, they've quoted me £42.20 ish to terminate it

They should do.
Also take an old phone with you as they often have trade in deals. I traded in a 5 year old phone last time and got £100 in cash there and then.
