No I haven't read it I have zero interest in any Samsung device or in the tariffs. I merely chimed in to say that the deal seemed decent for 12 months as I'm interested in these things with working at carphone warehouse up until May. Wish I never bothered commenting! :p
Sorry I didn't mean to come across as rude
I'm actually looking for an upgrade and want to take it out with a network because I would like the option to switch phones rather than sticking to Samsung handsets
I wish 3 did annual upgrades...I know 02 do a refesh plan but 02's data speeds are terrible !

You weren't rude at all :).
I reckon you might be best going with the Samsung direct and SIM only. At least then it gives you the flexibility to decide which network you tie yourself too. Me personally, I'd hate to be on EE as I have a contract with them and find them the worst network between them, Vodafone and O2.

But lots of other people have the exact opposite experience, it's all what works for you!

Exactly hahahaha!!!
EE is supposed to be the best in London and 02 is supposed to be the worst!
I would rather go with Samsung direct but your stuck to a Samsung handset...I would like flexibility to change to an iPhone in 12 months tbh

Yep what I meant is that it's cheaper joining the Samsung upgrade and going on a sim only than it is going through EE.
£72.99 is way too expansive and you can save about £10 a month with the Samsung plan
[doublepost=1504548376][/doublepost]
That's true just seems so expensive
I think the Samsung upgrade plan and three sim only is the way to go
I must say though that the advantage with EE's is that you can change phones. With the Samsung plan you have to stick with Samsung and can't change to an iPhone if you feel fit to.
I agree it's very expensive but that's the price you have to pay to upgrade every 12 months plus EE is always expensive due to the 4G speeds. I know for me on three I don't get 4G everywhere. Speeds are 12mb on 3G compared to around 30-40 at least on EE

Oh are you on three? How do you find them?
That's true.EE are know to have the best 4g speeds in London.
I actually might go for them...I can get 20% discount as well because I have a Unidays account.
02 are not great but their refesh plan sounds decdnf.

Three worked great at my old house but since I moved I have to be in my bedroom for people to hear me clearly which is a problem when I depend purely on my phone with no house phone.

Which is another reason I'm moving to EE most likely

O2 is a no go for me as there is zero coverage in my office. Not even 3G which would drain my battery on my phone never mind not use the internet. I have work wifi but not really the point in paying for loads of data if you can't use it

What deal you going to go for? The £72.99 one?

if thats what the new iphone price will be. If it's more than I may need to rethink things. I have an EE mini wifi device and the connection is great where i work and in my house so should be happy with EE signal wise hopefully. Just depends on the tarriffs i guess.

EE is definitely the best, followed by O2 & then 3. I had a horrible experience with 3, couldn't wait to switch to EE.
