"i would go giff gaff sim only of i could afford to buy a phone - i cant unfortunately"
Can't you just keep the phone you have now? Or ask if anyone in the family has a spare phone they don't use. |

Ask yourself, do you really need a new phone now ?
Why not stick with the S3 , get a cheaper sim only deal and put the difference away to buy a phone later? |

Oh I doubt it
Try factory resetting it and see if that restores some of its lost vigor  |

"If you been with 02for some time ask them to match the deal and say if they dnt you are planning on swapping networks it worked for me ..
"

Check omio for very best deals.
May need to start new contract.
02 are pretty Crap with upgrade deals.
See phone you want, with package. Find a few deals.
Ring 02 customer service, tell them of deals ask them to match or better.
If not walk away get better deal.
I save a packet on all our phones every time contract renewal comes up. |

Tell your existing supplier that you are leaving to go elsewhere and supply them the details of what you want.
their 'customer retention' team will be on you like a cheap suit and you'll get just what you want. |

ok been chatting with the lovely kaitlyn in india  - waived the 21 quid charge of contract outstanding if we did it today - so thats neither her nor there - instead of going to the 37.50 deal went to the 32.50 one with 19.99 upfront - waived the 19.99 and also reduced by £3 a month to 29.50 - 2 quid a month more than carphone warehouse but theyre shutting down round here and i want the phone covered (it wouldnt be covered by o2 if i got from elsewhere obviously)and i think o2 are ok so can stand that - my old contract was 28 so only £1.50 more a month which is fine --
id say that was a pretty good result - she even stayed online til i did the techy thing with codes as it wouldnt do it through chrome and had to go through internet explorer - and i pick it up on friday happy susie |

Wait until the S6 is released. The price of the S5 contract will decrease. I am sure it is only a few weeks off. I know you have said its not possible to buy a PAYG handset which is a shame as I have saved a lot of money doing so. I bought the S5 handset and got a 12 month sim only contract, unlimited texts, unlimited calls and 5G of 4g internet for £9.99 a month. |
