HTC One Contract

Antony101 · 21 Jun 2013 at 19:28

My contract is almost up and I have just been offered a deal to renew.

Orange - phones4u

24 month contract, HTC One, £31 a month, 600 minutes, unlimited texts and 1GB of data.

I've also been told I'd get £100 cash back.

I've been unable to find any better deals online and was wondering if anyone knows any way I may be able to get it cheaper?

Dial-a-phone have the HTC One, Orange £36 a month, 600 mins, unlimited data, £105 cashback through top cashback as well as only being an 18 month plan.

18 months = £648 - Cashback
24 months = £744 - Cashback.

£31 pound a month is already slightly more than I can afford, however unlimited data sounds great. Is it actually unlimited?

Check that link, from money supermarket, some much better deals loads of folk off here have used most of the sellers.

The deals seem almost identical to what I have been offered.

Some nice options though thanks, may be able to blag some more out of them with the possibility of going with someone else.

^^ I was mainly on about the unltd data for the same or less than you've been offered

Antony101 · 21 Jun 2013 at 21:04

Can't for the life of me find one with unlimited data, not on Orange at least.

thep02 · 21 Jun 2013 at 21:32

Ah, I didn't know orange was mandatory.

Antony101 · 21 Jun 2013 at 21:50

Isn't mandatory, I just got confused.

Phone has to be in black though.

thep02 · 21 Jun 2013 at 21:57

If you change the criteria at the top of the phone comparison page to 2gb you'll see the first option for htc1 is £26 with 300 min and unltd text n data on 3 and tbh you might as well have unlimited data with a htc1 IMHO.

Yup I prefer the black too.

Appologise

sorry I made a mistake didn't mean to write unlimited data, 1gb data sorry

Just buy it sim free and pick up a decent SIM only deal - it's the most flexible and usually the cheapest way. I went with Virgin at £12 a month.

I have seen a good SIM only on Virgin that is unlimited everything for £15 and I'm sure I could haggle them down. However I simply can't afford £500 to pay for the phone outright.

He said he can barely afford £31 a month, so doubt he can afford to buy it sim-free!

Gone with P4Y and Orange.

HTC One (Free)
600 Minutes
Unlimited Texts
1GB Data
£100 cash back after 42 days.

£31 pounds a month for 24 months.

Couldn't get a better offer anywhere else and the extra cost of moving to Three combined with no cash back swayed me overall.

Thanks, for all the advise guys.

I am looking to get it on 3 network.

if you go through carphone warehouse you can get it for £32-£36 a month. and that is with unlimited internet and on 3.9G.

I found EE were overpriced and had crap usage caps.
