Best mobile phone ?

Okay so I'm looking for some advice. I currently use an apple iPhone 5c on EE and they couldn't offer me a deal that was worth it today. I'm just about to come to the end of my contract, so I'm going to shop around for a good deal.

What are people's opinions on the best deals out there ?

I'm looking to spend around £20 per month, I use about 1GB of data, lots of texts, barely touch my minutes.
Would rather have no up front fee for the handset, but I'd be willing to pay up to £50.

I'd like to stay on the iPhone platform (simply because I'm familiar with it) but is the Samsung Galaxy any good ?

All advice appreciated, thanks.

 

I've always stuck with iPhones for pretty much the same reasons, I understand them.

Currently have an iPhone 7 which is as good as all the previous ones.

Tariff wise, I'm not up with what's available in the UK now,

 

I went to Samsung from iPhone for about a week before I went back to iPhone.

I only have the 5s though, I hate phone dorks who bang on about how great their handset is... It's a phone pal, calm down.

 

Yeah same, I'm not too bothered by all the tech. I just want decent coverage, a reliable phone and not pay stupid money each month.

 

Oh and a decent battery life too. ****ing bugs the **** out of me when my phone runs down to 20% by midday.

 

I prefer Android, so probably won't be much use to you in this thread.

I also never get anything really new, as I'm a nightmare for losing/breaking phones when pissed up.

 

Go get a sim only deal from 3 mobile as they are good - depending on what state your old phone is in.

looking at the amount of data and texts you use you should get a Nokia 3310

 

It's not nowadays is it though?

It's a portable, and in many cases very powerful, mobile computer. It just happens to have a phone attached.

 

I pay £12 for a Samsung J5 it does phonecalls and texting and Internet.

 

Look on a comparison site for best deals.
Stick with an iPhone you will regret going android.

 

Yeah go for something that breaks with the slightest tap, makes sense.

 

Oneplus 3t, sim only contract for £10-15pm and you're laughing.

Over two years would be about 40% cheaper than an iPhone 7 contract.

 

Mobile coverage is really poor where I live to I'm pretty much limited to EE.
Looking at a deal for an iPhone 6, unlimited calls and texts, 1GB data. £17.99 per month.

 

I've never met anybody who only uses 1gb of data.

 

You have now.

 

I'm on unlimited so I've no idea what I use. I guess it depends how much time you use it on wifi and how much on 4G.

 

I tend to do the heavy data stuff when I've got wifi. As I said, the coverage down here is so patchy that it takes a ****ing age to download anything.

 

Why's that? I've got a Samsung Galaxy S5 and have no complaints. I pay £23 per month. You'd be lucky to get 1gb of data for that little though, I only have 500mb, but do most of the heavy jobs on wifi.

 

Same with the data. I used about 800mb a month as I do most of the heavy stuff on wifi. Also mobile coverage is really patchy where I live, so it's pretty much limited to browsing web pages.

 

TPO use the resources network and you can get 3gb data, unlimited calls and texts for £7.99 with them.

Does that iPhone 6 £17.99 require an upfront fee too?
