Thought this would be timely for all the Samsung S23 deals recently, if you don't currently have an "any Smartphone, Any condition" to trade in, then you can use this, £143.50 this will get you off the S23 ultra

I bought two last time, used one a whiles back, and it got accepted 🏻

    I know this is off topic but I wanted to ask some advice as you're the premier mobile phone deal poster. Samsung are selling the a54 for £499 256gb on their website they are offering £100 any phone trade in and they also offer £100 cashback can both deals be used to get the phone for £299?

    Yep, both can be used bud

    Still kicking myself that I threw away a Galaxy s7 recently when I dropped it and half the screen stopped working  , forgetting they take in any old phone. (edited)

    You're actually buying e-waste 🤷‍♂️

    Did you read the post? It's for a trade in. This gets you a £140 discount and Samsung will dispose of the said e-waste. Sounds like a win-win situation to me. (edited)

    Silly question, do I need to wait to receive this phone before I can purchase the S23U deal with the 150 for trade in?
    MrSwitch's avatar

    Yeah, as you'll need the imei

    Is this phone on the list? If not it says any android or any iOS device on the Samsung site… this is a windows phone is it not?
    MrSwitch's avatar
    MrSwitch Author
    This works, have done it myself, as have countless others, as long as the imei is registered on trade in, they don't care as said above

    Do they have a warehouse of these somewhere and bring them out every so often
    Marcel's avatar
    Marcel
    They probably just bring them out when Samsung have a trade-in offer.

    Or save yourself 51p and buy this grade B one. "Every little helps!".

    I'll add to description cheers mate, different grade, grade B good as opposed to excellent. Prob won't matter in the eyes of Samsung trade

    Would this be capable of running any sports trackers?

    My garmin watch is off for repair and don't want to take the Samsung out on a run.

    Nope. They were a great pre andriod phone running Windows mobile. There was sod all#l software for windows mobile back in the day when I owned this phone from new. You used to be able to mod the rom to android, but I just got rid of the phone and bought an android one.

    No.
    And it’s not even a 4G phone, it uses 3G for internet and 3G is being switched off by most networks this year.

    I'd be wary as this will be a significant security vulnerability on your home network (if you connect to it).

    I had two of these last time but Currys refused to accept them as a trade-in. Tried to trade in a CEX but they both were showing water damage (there's a little white dot behind the battery somewhere). Ended up getting a refund from eBay.

    I thought this can only be used for calls and text and can't be used for social media and YouTube and stuff?

    Too late to re-order.

    I have checked a number of on-line blacklist check sites and they have all come back clean. I suspect Samsung have spotted it is a windows phone and rejected the claim but are saying it is blacklisted instead.

    Have you tried contacting HTC, asking why the phone isn't registered on the dB

    This mobile is so rubbish you can't even make a call. I bought it last year for my mother and you can do absolutely nothing.

    Prior to this was of course was the Orange SPV, made by HTC. Memory a bit hazy but I think this was regarded as the first true "Smart Phone" cos it ran a proper OS and not Symbian.

    I started with the SPV E200.
    I remember travelling to uni on the coach watching episodes of the Simpsons and other TV programmes I compressed and put on the full sized SD card to slot into the phone.
    People were amazed you could watch video on any device that wasn't a portable mini TV with the pull out aerial.

    Im using my second one to give to my little one to throw about since hes obsessed with trying to get ahold of mine. Then when the time comes, it will be used for a potential trade in, full of drool and whatever else 🤤

    People getting these for their kids?? It's reminds me of people who had a ZX Spectrum computer growing up and brag about getting one for their kids to "enjoy" the games...get them something current you tight gits. Otherwise it's just a modern form of child abuse. When you were growing up did you want a BMX or a Penny-farthing?

    Hopefully one day someone will leak the engineering data for another phone so they can triple boot windows phone/android/linux like you could on this

    For the last couple of years of its life mine was taped to a window tethering mobile data, as it was the only way to get internet in our area...
