Yeah I would get one but I've got the 3g version and at the minute am still using a tmobile sim only contract which isn't 4g

Bargain if you know someone on PAYG who can get it for you. Paid £60 more than this at P4U, though that's the price you pay if you want white :P £99 is an incredible bargain. Great phone.

Was just about to port out of O2. Can I use the (active) sim to get the upgrade price, then port out almost immediately? or will they clawback something?

Did look through the T&Cs but it didn't mention anything on this kind of topic.

They have a store only sale going on, I posted the Nokia 630 after seeing it in Meadowhall.

Think this might be for the non 4g model - my local store still has it listed as 'New' as in your pic but it is the standard 3g model. Also, online, the price is this on their website for the 3g model.

Also, I think I can read on the picture you took that it comes with Android 4.3 (which is what the older 3g model comes with out the box) whereas I am certain the 4g model comes with 4.4 (Kitkat) straight out the box.

I asked in store whether it was 4g and he said yes the store advisor and pointed it to the 4g logo on the bottom right hand corner of the photo

Probably to have been *using* a PAYG for at least 6 months without a phone upgrade within that time. And these deals always seem to exclude 3 from the list of viable networks.

As far as I know, it doesn't matter. They'll check your eligibility first, so if you want to be sure just go to a store and ask.

It’s a term a few geeky types use on here to suggest they can gain an advantage by removing all the software / firmware on the phone and replacing it with something else from the ground-up. It gained some credibility on phones where manufacturers burdened their phones with an awful lot of pre-loaded stuff of their own, on top of the core android operating environment – but given the Motorola phones don’t suffer that affliction its even less appropriate.

how rude!

rooting is where you gain access to parts of the phone software usually locked. Then you can load on a custom ROM and the phone is very different, this can delete all the bloated rubbish they insist on 'offering' you.
Most users love doing this after they see how much better everything runs afterwards(also better security against spying)

not rude, just didn't want him to get in trouble if it was against the rules to discuss it

Great value for money. The best Android 4G phone in this price range.
Around £200 and you can grab the Sony Xperia M2.
And if you're willing to shell out £300, Nexus 5.

Peace.

It's not really rude - let's be frank, if you can take the time to post the question you can take the time to use a little bit of initiative and type it into a search engine. Odds are you'll learn more from doing that, in less time, than awaiting a response on a deal site. In fact, you might argue that Googling it is a lot more appropriate.

How do they check your sim? Do you have to bring it down to the shop in a phone or tell them the number etc?
