Good Nexus 5 Deals on Three

Anyone recommend anything? Ive had a look on the three website but the deal isn't very good. Anyone recommend another site to check? Thanks

Have you thought about buying the phone outright and then buying a sim only deal on 3?

That's what i done, unlimited everything for £15 a month.

By the sounds of it that's the One Plan back at its low pricing, you won't get that kind of deal anymore. It's at £20 at the moment, which frankly is still a great price.

I second going SIM-free though.

Oh yes i see it's back at £20. Still a good price though.

£696 for that deal over two years (cashback available? I have no idea). Gives 600 minutes, unlimited phone data, 2GB tethering, 5000 texts, free 0800 numbers (this will become mandatory for all mobiles at some point anyway, forgot when).

SIM-free options:

Ultimate Internet SIM 600 12 month - 600 minutes, unlimited phone data, 5000 texts, no tethering, no free 0800 numbers (yet). £15.90x12x2 = £381.60 for two years. Total cost inc. phone (£299): £680.60
The One Plan 12 months - 2000 minutes, unlimited data and tethering, 5000 3-to-3 minutes, 5000 texts, no free 0800 numbers (yet). £20x12x2 = £480 for two years. Total cost inc. phone (£299): £779

I think you can get 2GB tethering on the first plan of the two for £5 per month, as a monthly add-on.

Not to mention the option of cancelling after a year and not being left with a locked phone. Also the option of swapping to what ever phone you want.

Im never going for a proper contract ever again.

"Ultimate Internet 600" no longer exists.

It's now "All-you-can-eat data + 600 minutes" and I believe it does include 2GB personal hotspot & free 0800 numbers.

You can do PAYG 300/3000/AYCE for £15 as well. That allows tethering & free 0800 calls.

Don't know where you are getting your information, but all of that (aside from the name change) is completely false.

SIM only plans remain unchanged (no tethering, charged 0800 calls), and the PAYG plans don't allow tethering (and never officially did AFAIK - it wouldn't make much sense either).

Yeah you're right, even the name has 'gone back' to ultimate internet 600 on the Three site, so whatever I had been looking at, it wasn't the right thing
