Hi all,
The contracts of Hero seems rather expensive (£600+ over 18 months) for a phone that is worth £350-ish PAYG.
Unless I am mistaken? Please post the best deals you can find!
Thanks.
I paid ...
£97 for the phone, and a further ...
£30 a month for 600 mins calls, unlimited txts, unlimited internet (which translates to a fair usage policy of 500mb/month)
All on Orange Dolphin 30, 24 months contract
Probably way over-priced, but I was desperate and just walked into the Orange shop.
You can get it from t-mobile on an 18 month contract for 35 quid a month. phone is 'free' and you get cool black one (best colour IMO).
you get unlimited internet (which is actually unlimited) compared to most other carriers who will offer 500mb on a fair use policy. can't remember the calls and text allowance but its more then enough.
I believe it's 3GB actually with T-Mobile, which is A LOT more than the other networks here in the UK (as far as I know).
T-mobile is probably the best, but is still a lot of money. Their fair-use limit is 3Gb, Vodaphone and O2 is only 500mb which is stupid. O2 don't carry the Hero, but their iphones do come with true unlimited internet (but don't allow streaming video or audio, VoIP or tethering.)
If you want to save money, try www.moneysavingexpert.com and click through to their page on saving money on mobile phone contracts. It has links to the best serch engines for this kind of thing.

O2 isn't 500mb. They don't have a limit and i've never heard of anyone being contacted by them for downloading too much. I've downloaded 600mb+ for the last 2 months with o2 and had no problems.
I've had some massive usage months on O2 also and never heard a peep about it. The whole O2 internet experience is generally pretty good. None of the port blocking or (un)fair usage crap.
I was going to go with www.mobiles.co.uk - v good deals - but stuck with my Vodafone upgrade because I have more faith in their hardware, support and signal. That's worth an extra few quid to me.
Have friends who take out contracts with various third parties and have all sorts of problem. Not worth the hassle for the sake of saving a few squids.

I pay £35 a month for my FlexT 35 contract, and my Hero was free. I was out of contract on FlexT before, but I was paying an additional £7.50 a month for web n'walk, and I now get the free G1/G2 data plan so in essence it is cheaper for me now.

well £600 for 18 months is not bad at all had set free unlimted high speed data. The had set will set you back around £400 and no support from net works usually then theres the bloody hellish cost of data and calls on pay as you go so the t-mobile contract is about the best out there. And service from them is nearly allways amazing
I got mine on Orange Racoon 40 Websave over 12 months
Its just over £40 per month, including Internet, phone cost about £50, but I used QuidCo to get £50 cashback.

same - 12 months £32/month + £5 for internet. £50 phone but £50 cashback. Winner and I can upgrade change in 12 months.
I got mine from www.buymobilephones.net. which is one of mobile news awards commended online retailers.
My tarrif is on t-mobile 18-months with 700 mins, unlimited texts, 3GB data allowance and the phone was free.
I am paying £34.25 directly to t-mobile but have got 11 months half price line rental which is equivalent to £188 cashback. This is made through redemptions throughout the length of the contract which is similar to what carphonewarehouse used to do.

I had scoured the internet for HTC Hero and T-Mobile G2 Touch contracts as I badly wanted this phone and found no better deal than this.
EDIT: 3 Months free insurance as well.
Haha burgess_boy you post sounds like an advert But thanks! This is the sort of deals I am looking for. I used Buymobilephones a few years ago so I haven't got a problem using them again. Theres £20 on Quidco as well... nice.
@locutus-of-borg - The reason I think the Hero on contract is expensive is because I have had a lot of WinMo phones of similar value to the Hero, yet the contracts (inc internet) were cheaper - usually £25 for 18 months.

If you look at the TMo website, you have to pay £50->£60 per month to get a free WinMo phone.

I posted this to HUKD:
http://www.hotukdeals.com/item/467978/htc-hero-orange-12-months-600min-50/
Works out at £350 for the 12 months, assuming the £50 QuidCo kicks in (mine tracked pretty quickly). However, you'd need to buy Orange Internet @£7.50 / month, too.

Hi,
A few hours ago I signed a contract with T-Mobile Poland.
So the contract is for 30 months, I get the SGS2 for 1zł (0,25€), 120min of free calling (mothly I use about 80min) & 250mb of data for free (I prefer using wi-fi).
All this I get for about 25€ monthly.
So, do You think this is a good deal? Can you get the SGS2 for less money in other counties?
Sorry for my english.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

No offence mate but that is an absolutely terrible deal the worst ive seen in quite sometime Ireland is a rip off but you will get a far better deal than that for less time, in the UK even cheaper.
Take it back if i were you, 30 month contract
£35 a month here I get (phone was free)
2000mins any network
5000mins to other people on my network
Unlimited sms
True unlimited data
I'm using about 9 gig a month to test them they havent said nothing to me so far

It's hard to get a better deal in poland.
The "shortest" contract here is for 24 months (t-mobile).
And if you want to pay the 25euro a month you have to pay about 330euro for the phone
@ 30 months it might be cheaper to buy the phone outright... then you have choice of pay as you go or sim only
Buy one (sim locked does not matter as you unlock it easy) from ebay. Much cheaper option. Here in Sweden they sell them brand new for SEK3800 equal to EUR475.
That's an insane deal! I'm on a deal with o2 that gives me unlimited texts, 900 minutes and 500mb data on an 18 month contract with a free handset for less than £30/ month - roughly EUR35 (?)
I'd be hoping for something similar to a cooling off period and go for a sim only deal.
if you calculate on the end phone will cost u around 750euro wtf? i paid 400euro for a brand new samsung galaxy s2 white.
No offence but anyone who signs up to a long contract is mad IMO, you will more than likely end up buying the phone cheaper and getting a pay as you go SIM the likes of Giff Gaff who are the cheapest in the UK by a long shot i have SIM myself when in in the UK a tenner and you get 250 mins,unlimited texts and data superb deal , Meteor are the cheapest in Ireland but worst customer service ever so i would avoid them like the plague and i would say go with second cheapest eMobile who am now with, i spend €30 i get 350 mins,350 texts (and 300 free web texts) and 1GB data and free landline calls plus €20 bonus credit every month, that is an excellent pay as you go deal IMO.
I'll never again sign up to a long contract,.just wait that little bit longer and buy the phone outright rather than being tied to one provider, even a rolling 30 day contract is ok but nothing longer than that..30 months is just insane
I know it's a long time but the 24 month shortest contract & the price of the phone is ridiculous in this contract.
I'm a new member so I cant show links if you want to see them paste "imageshack" in the right gap.
Here's the 24 month contract

And here's the 30 month contract
img252. .us/img252/7723/95915733.jpgSo if I wanted the shorter contract and pay this 25euro per month I would have to pay 250euro for the sgs2
I have T-mobile UK which i get business unlimited which i pay £35 a month.

Buy a handset only.... No contract
like BigMrB said buy the phone and get only either a sim only contract if you can or pay as you go. No point getting yourself in a long term contract. best way to go really and wish i did that few years back ago
I've just ordered my SG2, I have to pay 20 euros the first 9 months and then 15 months 40 euro. 300 Minutes / 300 SMS's (i only use whatsapp )/ Unlimited data.
The phone was free.
Last time that I've bought a phone was a Blackberry 9780 for 230 euro and one year contract. First 3 months where 15 euro and the rest 45 euro.
It's funny how they offer that bad contracts here in poland. Got to move out!
That's a horrendously bad deal....
Here in Australia Vodafone currently offers:
AUD$65/EUR€52 a month for 24 months (no handset repayments)

Hi!
This isn't really an important thread, but will be interesting to find out the kind of deals out there (especially for those potential XS purchasers!!)
Did any of you guys sign up on a new contract or Upgrade?
What kind of deal did you get?
Network : O2
Duration of Contract : 24 Month Contract
Line Rental : £15.50 a month (+ £3 Data bundle)
Price of Phone : Free
The deal disappeared the day after I signed up, so might have been a mistake, but I'm getting my phone tomorrow
Just purchased the phone without plan or whatever. You always have to pay the full phone price, carriers in Belgium don't do phone/plan combos.
€427 for the phone.
Network: Orange UK
Duration of Contract: 24 Month Contract
Line Rental: £28.50 a month
Minutes: 600
Texts: 3000
Internet: 1GB
Price of Phone: FREE
For brand new good phone, prices are very good, I would say. Some network carriers they still want 23-25 quid for a year old Samsung Galaxy S II.
Network: T-Mobile Netherlands
Duration: 2 years
Costs: 34.95/mo and first 6 months 50% off
Phone price: I paid around 30 for the phone, because I didn't want the extra that made it free, but there was a free option for like an extra 6 a month or so.
Internet: 500MB (I don't really care about this, with the amount of Wifi connections around..)
Extras: Sony Wireless Headset Pro

OMG...!
I paid 503 at the T-mobile shop, I could have bought it on the internet for 437, but that would have been the black one... And T-mo is the only one where it comes in white in the Netherlands (for the next for weeks) LOL
Handtec.co.uk had some nice prices, as I was importing Xperia S I've paid £354.99 on Phone + 4 Smart Tags + Case. No HDMI cable on this one, though. Still can't say if there are those Screen Protectors on it.
But, the cheapest place I could find was FNAC Portugal (fnac.pt).
They have the phone for €399.80, sim-free (unlocked) - Black one. White one is going for €390,24.
I can't really tell why this happens after finishing your purchase - remember, you have to login to finish the purchase, but the price of €479,99 gets to €390,24.
I couldnt finish my order with FNAC, that's why I bought with Handtec (Google Wallet would let me finish my order with them, FNAC does not accept Paypal nor GW).
Hope this helps.
cheapest
i definitely got the best deal
be prepared to get jealous:
have got a one year contract at KPN1500 minutes/messages and 2000mb internet which has a discount tariff of 25 instead of 150 euros for the first three months. After these first months i can adjust it to the lowest contract of KPN100 minutes and 100mb for 30 euro's. I add 250mb to this amount by paying 5 euros if i need it. Furthermore i have to pay 50 euros at the beginning which makes the total amount i have to 50+25*3+9*35=440 this is for both the phone and the contcract So to all the dutch, i would advise you to do the same if you are not in need of many minutes
I got a great deal from Phone 4U. Only a 12 month contract which you hardly ever see now!
£31 per month and the phone was £55
I will have to pay £70 to end my existing contract early and port my number though.

Right now in fnac.pt Black is out of stock and doesn't show any discount and White is 2-4 weeks for delivery with that nice price, not sure if they ship outside of EU because with that ETA I didn't tried to purchase. Handtec is supposed to start shipping tomorrow, or at least I was told so by chat minutes ago, so I guess I'll wait for it.
I was just aiming to get the phone cheap.

I got my White Xperia S for HK$4699 which is around GDP$387
with one year contract HK$68 = HK$816 (GDP$67)
and my mum traded-in her G2S and get a white Xperia S, she paid HK$1299 (GDP$109) without contract.
I saw a few topics about help for buying s3 so i decided to get some help from you guys I'm going Hungary with AFS intercultural programs for 1 year. And i want to buy a Galaxy s3 from here. How would you buy it ? With 1 year contract or without contract ? Btw i'm going to buy a sim card from here if u can tell me which operator is better it would be good too.
P.S: Going in August so prices will be same i think.
Thank you
T-Mobile has the best services, quality and coverage.
The cheapest would be the one with one year contract
thank you jasahu do you know anything about Tax-Free shopping ? What about VAT in Hungary what percent ? And can i get a refund for VAT with contract ?

I do not much about tax-free shopping. I do not think that there any more to that than the usual airport duty-free thing.
VAT here was raised to 27% not too long ago :-(
I suppose there little chance to get a refund with a one year contract because you basically get refund if you leave the country soon with your recently bought item. When you do the shopping in person (as opposed web-shopping) I would expect them to give you the refund at the border when you leave, but that is just a guess.
But you can of course try it I suggest you should go to a T-Mobile (or Vodafone or Telenor office at a mall) they often have usable English speaking assistance and ask them.
Or ask them in e-mail. At least T-mobile.hu have an (limited) english version of their website and definitely trying to answer your question.
ok thank you so much I looked to all operator's websites but they haven't English in shopping section =/ i'm going to look for 1 year contracts then when i went there
Here are the prices for one year contract, in descending order of monthly fee:
https://webshop.t-mobile.hu/webapp/...=all&camera=all&camera_resolution=0&opsys=all
And I need correct myself when it comes to coverage, Vodafone has the best 3g coverage
Update: as of earlier today Best Buy was out of Silver and you could only order the Black one if you had a Best Buy location within 250 miles of a zip code you entered so that you could physically pick the phone up. i.e. They weren't offering shipping them any longer.
Speculation: Best Buy is dumping their remaining inventory of all regular Pixels (they only carry the 32GB models) and they they already sold all the ones in their warehouses.
Thanks to @xdabbeb for making me aware of this.
I bought two.
You may have to retry website buttons multiple times to get the deal to work if their website is still being slammed. Also even when it says sold out on Slickdeals, you can still order it. This morning when I ordered mine, the get by date was Dec 6th for silver and 7th for black.
In my case I also had to order one at a time and the second one I had to use incognito mode in Chrome even though I upgraded a different line on the same Verizon account and both times I logged into the same Best Buy account.
I attribute all site weirdness to the Black Friday internet traffic.
$9.99 /mo. for 24 months
without having to pay the full monthly price and waiting for credit. Less than $240 total.

Kevin - could you contact me via PM or email? I had a couple of questions I wanted to ask you concerning this deal. We are both in Columbus and I would value your insight.
Deleted.
In addition to this already great deal - for Cyber Monday (Sunday?) BB is now offering a $100 BB Gift Card on top of the $240 Price. Making your total cost $140 Make me wish I had waited.

I just found that out too, wow! Me too, but oh well, one of mine has already shipped. I could cancel the other since it hasn't shipped and do the deal but there's a chance Verizon wouldn't consider me able to upgrade that line, at least for a day or so.
Can you really buy the Google Pixel, cancel with Verizon and use it with T-Mobile without having to deal with Verizon legal (early termination fees, etc) ?
Read a few comments in the thread. There are people that say "No problem", others say "Check the fine print, they will make you pay the full price".
This deal makes sense for Verizon if people open a new account/line and stay for 2 years. But in this case it is how the ol' phone subsidization model look in 2016.
I doubt that Verizon has left room to buy the phone, cancel the line and bring it to another network without charging fees and screwing your credit.
Edit:
Here you go: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/clp/ver...at748301462624.c?id=pcmcat748301462624&rdct=n
Activation/Upgrade Fees
Activation Fee: $40/line.
Upgrade Fee: $40/device.
Early Termination Fees
The early termination fee is up to $175, or up to $350 if your contract term results from your purchase of an advanced device (e.g., a smartphone).
There's no contract if you pay the phone off, it's not a two year contract, it's merely a contract to pay $9.99 a month for 24 months and once you pay it off, that's fulfilled. If you're creating a new line to get the phone, then whatever costs Verizon imposes to create the line, if any, in addition the activation fee which would happen for a new or existing line (Verizon seems to sometimes call the activation fee an upgrade fee lately) would be the only thing additional besides the tax for your overall cost.
I believe it was @45Wheelgun in the other thread who said he paid the phones off as soon as they shipped.
It *shouldn't* be any problem, but I don't believe anything until I see it for myself, and I might try it and see what happens to get a third one this time with the $100 gift card deal, but not sure yet.
FYI, my "upgrade fee" was $20 per phone, and the same "upgrade fee" was referred to as "activation fee" elsewhere, so I believe they're one in the same, although Verizon is less than transparent about this and has caused me confusion before. I'm on the most recently available Verizon Plan.
@45Wheelgun references this walkthrough for how to do it:

I just tried to add a line, all looked good, of course it said there would be a $20 a month smartphone access charge on the new line but once I paid the phone off I'd be able to cancel the line. However, the main Pixel page on Best Buy's site says 1) Silver isn't available at all and 2) Black "Shipping:Not Available". I went through the process as far as I could take it anyway and indeed it won't let me do the final checkout without selecting a store, but it tells me there are no stores within 250 miles to pick one up at, so it seems we're at an impasse, and basically maybe Best Buy is trying to dump what little remains of local Pixel stock, wherever they are.
Same issue here. Currently in CA visiting family but also checked my zip code in Portland, OR. No stores within 250 miles.
Also stopped by the local Best Buy and they had no Pixels in stock.

My friend who was the one who made me aware of both the original and the new deal said that this morning it said he could still pick one up locally but that now they're just not available. I checked a few zip codes I was familiar with as well just out of curiosity.
so If I find it in store, sign up for a new account, pay first month, pay off device, can I then use it with my T-Mobile line?
There are no early termination fees if you pick the 24 month Device Payment Plan (DPP). You will have three choices to purchase the phone:
DPP: 9.99/month 24 months
Contract: $199.99 + 24Month Verizon Service Contract
Outright purchase: $650
Any text you see about contracts or ETFs are in reference to the Contract option and have nothing to do with the DPP option. When you get to the purchase agreement you will see it states you are paying the "full price" of $239.76 for the phone and that is the installment agreement you are "signing". In that contract it clearly states there are no penalties for paying it off early. Only penalties it speaks of are if you DON"T pay your installments on time.
DPP is nothing but a 24 Month 0 Interest load. Think 24 months same as cash with the purchase price being $239.76 +TAX
I purchased 2 on Thursday as 2 separate transactions, one as an upgrade and the other as "add a line". Billed for Sales tax on $239.76 (~$17) As soon as they shipped on Friday I paid them off. That immediately restored my "upgrade" account and I will not need to "add a line" as the phones have been paid in full. I received an Email from Verizon notifying me that my DPP contracts were "Paid in Full" and Closed.
My phones will be delivered tomorrow. There has been no change in my plan, all discounts and extras accrued over the years as still in place. I'm unclear at this point if I will need to activate them. If so there will be a $20 activation fee. I'll know sometime tomorrow.
I went back today when I saw the additional $100 and was able to walk through the entire process as an "upgrade" so as far as my account is concerned "it never happened". I even had Verizon offer me $330+ to use it as a trade in!
I do not think you will have any problems if you just add a line but if you create a new account they may want you to either return the phone, paying the full price for it or $350 EFT.
Whatever... it would not be worth it considering the additional fees.
People were mentioning this after looking at the fine print that you agree on and talking with sale managers.
There is also a hard pull of your credit for a new customer, so I do not want to do that and end up reading in the fine print that I must stay with Verizon for 2yr in order to get the Pixel for $130.
Not sure what to do. Did somebody look at all the things that they ask you to sign or can post screenshots?

I do not think you will have any problems if you just add a line but if you create a new account they may want you to either return the phone, paying the full price for it or $350 EFT.

Did you look at the link I gave a few posts up (first page I think) with the link to the "proof/evidence" that there will be no ETF if you pay off the phone. I believe it, for what it's worth, but can't take advantage of it any more than I already did since there are no stores within 250 miles of me to pick it up, which is the only option now. I'll add that to the OP when I can.
Yeah... I saw a bunch of posts of that guy, DEEE. He has been active on that thread for 3 days no stop. There are some funny flames He wants to be the "go-to person". He also does everything to shut up who contradicts him. Either he needs some attentions or somebody must pay him to be there and do the promotion.
A few people keep saying "check the contract. It is just $240." but a few others found something off. Check the posts related to this one:

What I got from that:
- At checkout you sign both DPP and the https://www.verizonwireless.com/legal/notices/customer-agreement/
- The DPP (that is titled "RETAIL INSTALLMENT CONTRACT") says you are subject to the Verizon agreement too. So you need to interpret them together.
- The conclusion seems to be:
1) If you leave Verizon before 14 days then you have to return the phone (or pay full amount for it)
2) If you leave after 14 days you have to pay other $350.
Verizon lawyers are not dumb.
Either somebody that studied law can interpret those contracts and tell me that everything is fine or I will stay out of this deal. It is not $240 vs $250, it is $240 vs $700.
Updated the OP: as of earlier today Best Buy was out of Silver and you could only order the Black one if you had a Best Buy location within 250 miles of a zip code you entered so that you could physically pick the phone up. i.e. They weren't offering shipping them any longer.
Speculation: Best Buy is dumping their remaining inventory of all regular Pixels (they only carry the 32GB models) and they they already sold all the ones in their warehouses.
Completely sold out of all the Best Buys in Portland, OR
