When I bought it in store they charged me £360 and only made me buy a £10 ,PAYG SIM.

Maybe that offer has gone now.

Sometimes in store you get lucky with people not quite knowing the proper process :P I tried to buy it in a store but they didn't have stock and couldn't tell me the stock of other stores.


But online they were adamant I couldn't get it without a contract

Yep not sure why I was thinking of the 6a.

The 7 is 445 on Amazon prime day.

Deal of the day for Prime Members: Google Pixel 7 – Unlocked Android 5G Smartphone with wide-angle lens and 24-hour battery – 128GB – Obsidian https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BDK63RF3?ref_=cm_sw_r_apann_dp_3DX1MPFNNBFJBKF5YZVN

Pixel 7a bundle - Amazon Prime Day Deal

There's a Pixel 7a bundle on Amazon Prime day. Only £45 less than than the Pixel 7, but it includes a charger and a gel case too. I always buy a gel case for my phones, so if the 7a doesn't come with one in the original package then it's a bit of a saving.

The 7 is a higher spec phone and is a good deal at £445. But I like the smaller dimensions of the 7a, and the bundle deal including the gel case is closer to the £350 target I had for getting a 7a. Decisions, decisions...

I have a student code if you want to order from BT Shop. That puts the 7a at £329.
 
I've just pulled the trigger on the 7a. £9 upfront and £19.99 for 24 months for 50gb data on ID mobile. Should hopefully get £65 cashback too, so that would be £424 over the course of the contract.

That's only a smidge more than the phone is worth, so definitely cheaper than buying these handset and finding a sim only deal to go withdraw it. I'm paying £13.50 sim only with EE at the moment so it's only a little bump in monthly costs :)

Thanks for the offer, but something seems a bit dodgy about 'BT Shop'. It doesn't seem to actually be BT, and links to it now just seem to go to EE. The £329 deal seems OK, but has anyone on here actually bought a phone from them?

I must admit, I've been thinking the same. I'm currently paying £17 on a SIM only deal, so £19.99 with the phone included seems a bit of a no-brainer. I'm on O2 at the moment, so should be able tom port my number across with a PAC code. How did you get the cashback?

What are people's thoughts/experiences of IDMobile?

BT own EE (https://store.ee.co.uk/about-us/our-new-name)

I've ordered many times from them.

Don't forget to factor in your 2 in contract CPI price increase to your contracts, could be quite a lot like this year nearly 10%.

I used Topcashback and bought the deal through carphone warehouse.

Never used ID mobile before, so I'm a bit concerned about the lack of coverage compared to EE, but EE were silly money in comparison so I thought I'd give them a go.

I might have been being a bit too paranoid about the BT Shop site - it was just the general website linked to from hoyukdeals seemed amateurish, and then the redirected link to EE seemed suspicious. But in any case, the £329 offer seems to have disappeared.

I'd be interested to see how they compare to 02.

Its still valid, you need a student code, which I have if you want it.

Thanks for that. Can you DM me the code?

The hotukdeals link just sends me to a £399 deal on the EE site, but I'll see if there's an option to put in the code to reduce it to £329 before I decide.
