Default Is this a good mobile phone deal, Galaxy S3 ?

Basically ive just got this deal with Vodafone for £28 per month after a bit of haggling, its just ive lost touch with what is a good contract deal these days after being on a SIM only deal for the last couple of years.

http://shop.vodafone.co.uk/shop/cata...equestid=29201

Everything is free with the phone, free delivery, the phone is free, all calls to any network and landlines are free, unlimited texts and 1GB of data per month, the first 3 months are unlimted data.

I was using an iphone but fancied a change, your a bit restricted with the iphone as far as memory goes, once you buy a certain GB your stuck with it for storage, i like how you can upgrade the memory card on the Samsung.

Yeh, i rang them direct on 191.

I asked what is the best deal they could offer me on the Samsung S3 on contract, he initially offered me the £37 per month deal above for £33 per month, i haggled him down to £28 per month with free delivery as the charge would have been about £4.95.

If this is the deal you want then just say a mate has just got the deal above for £28 per month.

I bought mine sim free, have put my work phone sim in it, my boss said get any phone and expense it like they do in the us, he is over there, uk policy is blackberry only, which are **** and don't want two phones, if you can afford four hundred quid it's a probably cheaper in the long run.

I got moaned at for my two hundred quid bill last month by work, oops, but they do send me over there !

I thought deals on 4G LTE were not doing unlimited data,well that's what read not log ago,it started from £36.00 per month for 500mb up to £56.00 for 8gb..
1GB of data would be useless for me,i got the S3 on 3 and went with the one plan for £30.00 per month,which includes all you can data plus you can do tethering.

I didn't bother with the insurance as you get a manufacturers warranty on the phone anyway, i think the insurance was something daft like £9.99 per month for a 3 month minimum term.

I had a good look around earlier, for what ive got £28 per month seems to be a lot better than other providers are offering, you just need to haggle with them.

The cheapest deal i could find for unlimted data was £41 per month, that was with T mobile called the Tmobile iPhone Full Monty £41, even though it says iphone its with a samsung galaxy S3.

That £41 deal with unlimted data is on a normal Galaxy S3 deal with T mobile.

Yeh i noticed the LTE was expensive, mine is the normal S3 in blue. It wasn't worth me considering an LTE version just yet as 4g is new and only available on EE, well thats if you can get a signal as a lot of people from what ive read are having problems on 4g.

Yeah, compared my old Desire HD 3G phone against an iphone running 4G and my phone was quicker on the internet. We were in Cardiff which according to the EE website gives very good coverage. Maybe it was because iphones are crap though
