That seems like a very good deal. Tempted to try and get it for my mum who is already on Vodafone. Not sure I want to deal with a 3rd party like fonehouse though.

I wonder if Voda would do a retention deal.

Picked up an XR in Blue earlier and loving it, got it for 580 (sim free) and only used for a few days so more than happy!

Got a new Iphone XR for my wife for christmas, that Vodafone deal was too good to miss out. The screen res concerned me but various reviews have commented that it isnt really that big of a deal....shes very much a light user anyway so wont be bothered.

£36 for 100gb data and unlimited everything else...yes please.

She's going from an iphone SE 16gb to this so im hoping theres a big jump for her.

It’s substantially larger than an SE. I’d make sure she knows how to use reachability

I ordered it through mobiles.co.uk in the end so im happy with that.

So, after sending my Pixel 2 XL back, I've been unsure what phone to get.

I liked the idea of the 3 XL, but reviews didn't instil any confidence.

I thought about the OnePlus 6T, but the device isn't premium enough for me to get on a 2 year contract, especially with their upgrade period. Looked into finance for one, but ended up being roughly 20 a month. Factor in a £20 ish sim only, and it ends up being about the same as what I've just paid for an iPhone XS.

64GB Space Grey with 80GB of data for £37 per month, £120 upfront.

Awesome deal.

I went for something similar yesterday but with the 256gb XS max. £350 up front and £37 a month for 80gb. Comes with 2 years of Spotify Premium as well (£10 a month) which I already pay for. Really happy with that!

There’s a bit of delay on delivery so I’ve ordered a Vodafone PAYG whilst it’s processing so I can see what the signals like. If it’s pants I’ll cancel it before it’s dispatched

In Hampshire, at least, it's brill. Better than EE I would say.

On my journey from home to Waterloo, I only drop signal once with Vodafone, yet with EE, as soon as I get on my train, I essentially don't have signal until I get to London, and even then, it's super slow.

Have been pretty impressed so far. But with these mental deals on contract, that may change - depends how many people have taken one out

Any decent XR deals around? My mrs is looking for a new phone.

Cheers, that's not bad at all. She has a 7 Plus now and has mentioned she wants one with Face ID, I think the XR would be perfect and she's already on Vodafone with no complaints.

There was a deal with no upfront cost at £37/month over the weekend but I can't find it any more.

 

[Cryfreeman]

Meh. Streaming video on a friends X but struggling to load a web page on the Xs Max. Same network
Happening a fair amount in the sticks during work, not sure what to do as I need to log/picture areas I visit for emergency call outs which has to be done from the actual spot as it’s all tracked. POS to be honest
The brick backup phone having to be used

 

[ChrisD.]

Ordered the deal above. Although when trying to register an account for her to pay the £50 it does this:

Oops. Unknown error, please try again later.

Guess I'll try later.

I called up 3 to get my PAC code, they offered me no up front cost but £41 a month. It works out over the 24 months £70 to stay with 3 but I get tethering with it and Hong Kong and the US included with the data so decided to stick with 3.

Also I know everywhere i've been to in the past 7 years that I have been with them, I get a signal so that's good.

 

[ChrisD.]

Mobiles online account is still not working. CS advised to try again tomorrow, brilliant.

 

[Raymond Lin]

Which PD chargers do you guys have? As opposed to the expensive Apple one.

 

[Raymond Lin]

Buy a new phone…along with everything else.

Now headphones needed which is pocketable, is the AirPods still considered the best?

 

[Feek]

I’d buy another pair tomorrow if mine broke or I lost them. Highly recommended.

New Airpods heavily rumoured to be released before Christmas apparently. Waiting on them myself for something more portable

100% not going to happen. It's too close to the holidays now for Apple to release anything. March now at the earliest but more likely alongside new iPhones in September. There is no incentive for Apple to replace the current product when it is selling extremely well.

Hence why we still have a £949 Macbook Air with a TN screen and a CPU that is 4 generations old.
