EE Deals & Offers

Its got NFC - unlike most cheap phones , but the low battery capacity ( 2500 mAh ) is a bit worrying given its running an older MTK chipset.

Poor phone (slow & old processor - Mediatek MT6750) Not worth the price tag @ 59.99

It was easier to just say update it. But yes you're correct.

Not even the latest update, it rolled out well over a month ago

EE only unlock after 6 months of contract.

I'm always amazed by people who trade in their high end phones without getting the carrier to unlock them first. That way they get more cash and it's normally free.

Just update the phone. It's in the latest update.

wow xs refurb is so cheap now, that never happened to original x.

How much 🤮

This is far better value at £795 new and unlocked.....and doesn’t involve Music Magpie (y)

Music Magpie = bandits

A good price if you REALLY want a current flagship iPhone. Myself personally would highly advise people to get a Huawei phone for less, as they are truly fantastic phones.

This really isn't a deal anymore - both A1 & MPD (with their various sub-brands) have been running it since August, when I got it - was a deal then. OK now, but not hot IMHO. Great phone, but seriously we must be nuts paying £500+++ for phones.

I got one of these in the O2 deal, paid £396 outright and get a free tablet in 2 weeks. I'm loving every aspect of android over iOS and this phone is amazing.

I've had Huawei phones now for over 3 years and to be honest I am really impressed with them. My son has an S9 but tbh I prefer my older nexus 6p

I can't decide between this, the honor 10 and Samsung s9. The latter 2 are cheaper but I really want a better camera so cannot decide if its worth the extra for me?

Stuck between this or bit extra for mate 20 pro....

I use it mainly for web browsing, social media, camera and calls.

Only for month. It’s not ideal. But if it’s a little known benefit of prime for those that have it.

What happens if I stop the subscription, do I still get access to the photos?

Just in case this is useful, Amazon prime allows full resolution “free” backup of unlimited photos. Of course you need to pay for prime, £79 a year or £39 for students. Monthly also available at £7.99.

Also applies if you have a bluelight card

This is standard and has been on for months! Cold !

Cold: Not a (HUKD) Student deal!

I've posted the pro as a deal about five mins after this or before, look at my. Posted deals :)

Oh ..... Interesting ... Think I'll search the Mate 20 Pro :) Didn't consider a used as an option previously :)

:( ;)

Oh, I dunno..... (pirate)

This is what I've been looking at -. https://uk.webuy.com/product-detail?id=shuacltl09128gbevea&categoryName=phones-android&superCatName=phones&title=huawei-p20-pro-single-sim-128gb-black-ee-a Thanks for the info, I've been wondering why some people have been saying on here that they've got shot of a P20 PRO in favour of cheaper mobile phones. I was set on an Honor 10 until I seen some of the CEX deals. I'll keep an eye out for Pixel 2XL or something else!! Cheers (y)

I bought my pristine open box P20 Pro from a phone company on eBay a couple of Months ago for £460 but at £365 for a CEX A grade is quite a bargain. Are you sure It's A grade? As I've just looked and the cheapest is B grade (£340) with the next A grade (unlocked) being £420. Oh and don't expect many updates for the P20 Pro as I've only just got Octobers security update and nobody really knows when Android 9 will roll out. Hopefully they will get their act together soon but I can't help thinking that there are so many chinese phones being released that they just can't keep up with the updates. This will probably be my first and last Chinese phone as the lack of prompt security updates worries me, and I know this is pedantic but It's just not very nice to look at or hold (It looks and is roughly the same size/shape/weight as the 4 Year old Galaxy Note 4)

What grade P20 Pro did you go for? I'm currently looking at a grade A for £365 (locked to EE and on a Plusnet sim). Cheers matt

Mate 20 Pro or Note 9 or another phone?

I wouldn't touch MPD with a barge pole after the Black Friday debacle. Go to Trust Pilot and read the reviews.

Thank you (y)

Yeah I'd avoid MPD based on past experiences

Nice deal, but I prefer to have less cashback and pay less per month. So with the deal below you will pay only 31 £ per month and have 100£ (Samsung) + 30£(automatically discounted) cashback. The phone with the essential plan 20GB will cost you: 714£. https://www.mobilephonesdirect.co.uk/shopping-basket?affiliateid=30947&clickref=nXjmv47Hehn5nECmTE4vyg&source=uswitch&source=webgains&utm_campaign=73902&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=USwitch Communications&wgexpiry=2011372305&wgu=8497_73902_15448123051184_224efa805b

They're all unlocked

Go on uswitch it's £33 a month for 30gb

Not a good deal. I got the same deal without the £100 cashback 2 months ago from affordable mobiles for £33 a month and cashback through topcash back. Works out at £792 over 24 months.

I got the note 9, sending it back (coming from s8 plus). It is not worth it in my personal opinion. I am now thinking of going to with the mate 20 pro instead. More everything... would be interesting to know who changed from mate 20 pro to note 9 though...

Will be ordering this I reckon, was wondering whether to hold off untill the new year, but want EE so vodaphone deal was no good, still wish I had just preordered it, always been the best deal so far!

Grabbed the o2 100GB data instead of this was £45 so I realise more expensive but suited my needs better.

yeah it is good deal , i'm thinking getting this , or just wait

Wondering if there will be a better deal in January (speculating a sale)....... So very tempted.

"If your item is returned after 6 months from the date of purchase then we will refund as per the current sales value or original sales value (whichever is the lower)". Hmm. thanks for the heads up. I've just traded in a load of old tech for vouchers towards a pixel 2 from them. So I can expect a partial refund if it breaks after 6 months.

How are grade B phones from CEX generally? Anyone with experience? Are they decent quality?

Yes but sometimes EE refuse or make it difficult if you don’t have a live contract with them. I know it’s done by server.

Not hard to unlock. I have unlocked two in the past for paying £8.99. you dont get code but message as unlocking done through server

Exactly that

Cex offer 24 months warranty if it gets blocked they will refund or the replace

That's interesting to know. If it's still the property of EE, what can they do, cut it off if the contract for it ceases to be paid?

I'm always dubious about buying a phone locked to ee as it's unlikely the person who sold it to CEX bought it outright, which means that it is still property of ee until it is 6 months old (as per the contract terms and conditions) So unless cex are ok with refunding it if anything goes wrong...

I wouldn't see why not, just say you'd rate it at grade C, and you're really disappointed

Thank you I will give it a try

A retention deal is where you phone them up, request a pac code to leave and then they’ll start to offer deals to keep you. That deal I posted is what I got yesterday but I suspect they may have gone a little further if pushed more

Has anyone managed to find this ee deal as I have typed in retention but it’s not showing

That’s good Threes retention deal for same phone: no upfront 100gb unlim mins/texts £41pm £984

Same, I had the XS and they declined me on credit check..my history is immaculate

I just went to manually search the update and it came up.

How did you get the update? Mine is still on Android Oreo ugh

Reduced to £355 ;)

Its funny you mention camera, they produce some of the best in the smartphone industry, and yet they csnt get it right (like you say) wih their own phones.

The crazy thing is their phones are generally very high quality. Excellent hardware and software with respectable update turnaround times. Sure their camera software does need work, but that shouldn't be all it takes to make them such poor performers in the smartphone market. In my opinion, Sony need to double-down on their camera software (maybe get an agreement to use Google's camera app?) and really leverage their stronger properties like PlayStation,Bravia, Exmor and Walkman. Not just as silly stickers with niche little tricks.... I mean to really get those teams involved in adding features that extend each product line with meaningful features. Sony are stuck in a rut and really need a shake-up at the managerial level. But hey, I'm just a regular Joe who's never headed a multi-billion pound company...

Thanks

O2 it was.

Good deal, who was that with? EE?

Similar to what I took out for a family member but 150 for handset and 33 a month with no cashback. Decent on the whole after missing black Friday deals.

Not bad, but a quick glance at mobiles.co.uk suggests an o2 plan with 15gb works out at the equivalent of 36 a month (34 a month + 50 upfront). 866 total cost. For EE this is cheap, but if you can afford to be flexible with network not the cheapest I’d suggest. I didn’t include the potential 25 Quidco there either.

Does anyone know if these come unlocked?

"you need to either be a new Sprint customer or an existing one who adds a new line." Didn't you read the page before you posted the link? On Best Buy the only plan they let you choose is the $65 unlimited plan, so it's $74 per month for 24 months. Add the $30 activation fee and you get

Did you get that from the picture, or is it somewhat misleading?
