I've just got a deal on three as an existing upgrade although I only had a 30 day rolling contract

£31 per month NO UPFRONT COST
5000 texts
2000 mins
5000 free three to three network calls
tethering included
ALL YOU CAN EAT DATA

I was pissed I'd missed the headphone offer but this deal seemed to nearly equal that deal

I'm actually on hold with three as we speak & I've been offered an even cheaper deal details to follow when the operator gets back off hold:laugh:

Which ones? Any example please?

The Three UK deal is better, or if 1gb is ok these are far cheaper (£100 to be exact).

£31.00 £149.99 24 Months Unlimited Unlimited 1GB = £894

£26.00 £249.99 24 Months Unlimited Unlimited 1GB = £874

There is also Cashback of £50.50 available on o2 if you go through a cashback site. I could also get O2 30% discount on a entire contract which reduces the price to £740 (£41, £50 phone, same 2gb) but i'm not a huge fan of o2 as I am experiencing now. V poor signal where i am

Got it as above now for £27 per month as above. I've got to cancel my previous order tomorrow when it apparently goes live. I could have has it for £23 a month without tethering but decided to keep that if three keep their promise not to increase existing prices when 4g rolls out

Somebody reported that Three UK phones will come with locked sim and unlockable bootloader. Might be a deal breaker for some - if it's true.

yes but, the chances of being locked on all other carriers are equal. Best deal for the phone isn't necessarily going to be meaning unlocked because no one knows as of yet.

I think that 2GB data is going to be essential for the Sony Xperia Z (as a minimum - despite it being the highest ammount o2 offer) seeing as it uses 4G (which despite it being quicker than 3G means it will uses data more quickly). For £5 less (£26) you'd get 1 GB less with unlimited calls and texts - but I don't think that amount of data would suffice. I think £31 per month is pretty good though for unlimited calls, texts and 2GB data

Doubt it very much, im sure sony will still give u a pair, as long as its a pre order. I would take no notice what 3 say they full of ****, just trying to get people to buy from them

Actually, no. Sony gives the headphones to Three, Three distributes them. You don't get them directly from Sony.

 

[juDGEY2k10]

where does it say this? As o2 and others are doing the same deal, so im sure you will have to send of to sony for the headsets

 

[lloydbf]

Just upgraded my O2 contract. Picked the £26/month deal with £250 upfront because the others seemed too steep and I'm always around WiFi anyway.

My order includes the MDR-1 headphones and a free headset also. Edit: Sorry no headset, must have misread on some other site.

Anyone know if O2 put branding or labels on their phones still? I haven't had a carrier phone in years and years.

How bad is the software bloat with them? I'm guessing we can flash to stock ROMs once the phone hits...

 

[juDGEY2k10]

did they give u the headsets there and then?

 

[nightwing369]

o2 don't put branding or logos on their phones these days, or even bloatware (that's going back about 6 years ago now when they were last doing that)

Sorry, no headset, must have gotten confused with another deal or something.

The order states;
Sony Xperia Z Black O2 Unlimited 24M handset £249.99
Sony headphones £0.00
Free Amazon MP3 voucher

If they don't send me the headphones I'll kill the deal. I want the phone but won't pay marked up contract prices unless I get a new pair of cans :angel:
