    Really well done OP, great deal. Only think putting me off is I was one of the ones stung with O2s 17% price increase. Means you'll be paying £35.59 in year 2 if inflation remains the same (it should be a lot lower though)

    Agreed, I got caught as well with a Mobile Phones Direct deal, which adds the increase to the handset cost as well as the phone tariff. Complete rip-off & no way round it. I tried to pay the contract off in full & they (O2) would only allow that by cancelling the contract. So they receive all their money & provide nothing in return. This was the first time I'd taken a phone contract in more than 20 years & will never do it again. (edited)

    My upset isn't with you Mr Switch... It's mostly with HDUK as they allow posts saying that the total cost is X amount of money but it's not true. I have posted many adverts on HDUK but only to be withdrawn due to their strict rules

    The cpi / rpi increase is a little different, it's not breaking any rules, and it is the same across all sites like hotukdeals, we add the disclaimer, then we let members decide if it is for them or not, I'm not forcing anyone to take out the offer, I'm posting the deal as it is a good current price

    Is that 80GB data a month ? Or total for 24 months
    cp1's avatar
    It's per month

    I believe this deal has improved now, you can now claim £150 cashback via Samsung.
    T&C: samsung-offers.claims/sum…rms

    Mobile Phones Direct is listed as a participating retailer. So you can claim £150 cashback via samsung for purchasing the S23 Plus. (edited)

    20GB following the same link is total cost £833 if preferred
  8. cp1's avatar
    worth noting it's not £100 "enhanced" trade in, it's £100 for any old phone which is the better deal IMO as the 'enhanced' deals require your specific device to be listed and have a value.

    Someone above mentioned there is a risk of 17% of the price increase during the contract, so is there a way to pay the all contract in 1 go
    rbz5416's avatar
    The increase will be the industry cartel rate of RPI inflation + 3.9%, which will apply twice during the life of this contract. Ofcom should be strung up for allowing these rip-off T&Cs.

    As I posted above, you cannot pay the contract off other than by cancelling it. There may be an option to cancel within the 14 day cooling off period & pay off the handset cost but no idea what that would amount to.

    Shame 02. Good deal though.

    Or buy the phone outright and grab a cheap sim only. You never know what happens with inflation and once in a contract it's tuff, may aswell be gambling. My o2 went up from 35 to 55 over a 24month term quite the difference. Now I pay 12quid on a one month roll with smartly.

    So taking your £12pm and adding that to the current best sim free price on this phone of £899 (Samsung EPP) and taking it over 24 months, yours would be total cost - £1187

    Compared to here at a cost of £759 over the term after trade with 80gb data, even at the added RPI / CPI in April of next year, will be nowhere near £1187, so better off with contract at current rates

    50285261-sB8N5.jpgOff topic but would anyone who orders mind telling me how the order comes through - I am pretty sure I added a spend cap but all I have is this. Maybe if you added a cap it tells the value on the confirmation?
    o2 havent added the cap and I just got a big bill after being outside the EU


    i2pm's avatar
    Yeah I think I recalled I did same thing, ticked bill cap on Mobile Phones Direct. But when i setup my account with the SIM company it was not done. So I had to do it again.

    So I'd recommend setting up an account with the new sim card you got, then explicitly setting bill cap on your account. (edited)
