Broken screen!

[Calum]

Hi all,

Last week I dropped my belt on my s7 edge and have knackered the screen - £250 to repair! Thing is, I'm only 6 weeks away from the end of my contract. What should I do?

I'm using an OLD moto g1 which is terrible and driving me mad with its quirks and need rid of it asap.

I could sell my broken s7edge for £90 and use that to buy out the remainder of my contract (£50) or wait until upgrade time to negotiate a new phone and better deal. What do you think?

Just wait it out with the Moto ,sell the S7.Or buy this with the S7 money and sell it on when you get your new phone .

No point throwing money away buying out your contract.

Which network are you with? Most networks you can generally upgrade a month early if you plan on staying with them.

I'm with EE but their upgrade offers are usually poor. Do I have to wait till the end to talk to the retentions team?

Some providers used to pay off your current deal to transfer to them.

Have a look at buy mobiles and mobile phones direct you get good deals with them and if you go through Quidco/Top Cashback you will probs get £30/40 which will lessen the blow of upgrading early.

OP, you could try Music Magpie?

I entered in > sell phones > Samsung > Galaxy 7 Edge 32GB version > poor condition (which means fully functioning OS but damage to the handset) and it's giving me £114. If yours is the 64GB version, then it's giving me £126. They then email you a postage label for Royal Mail 48 tracked which is pre-paid. You package the phone up (format it first obv), print and tape the label to the box then hand it over the counter in the Post Office. Then you'll get a receipt with the tracking so you can track it. Then payment method is either cheque or bank transfer. Obv no one uses cheques any more so pick bank transfer
