Daniel cain 42,913 Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Have a look at Huawei phones. They're a lot cheaper than most and, they usually have a lot of good features. Huawei are in the shit-they make and supply servers/software for the USA and uk telecoms networks-they have been accused of using software that allows for folks to be spied on.I got samsing a3 like a galaxy -22 pound a month with unlimited calls and texts and 4 g of internet-what ever that means lol.on everything everywhere (old orange)get signal where my pals with the iPhone don't most spots.

Blackbriar 8,568 Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 had all the expensive ones ,i only want a phone for calls and the odd picture now ,ive got a samsung galaxy now it does the trick no problems with it I still use my old Samsung Galaxy Ace......donkeys years old, but I only use it for calls and texts. It can do t'internet, but I hardly ever use it for that. It's old and its definitely not trendy, but it does it's job ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukey 1,620 Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Im in the same boat, bought a 2nd hand iphone 5, what afookin nightmare! Took it back.. Thinking the samsumg a5 2016 version, im used to android with my galaxy s4 and other similar prevously, but not sure where best to buy? ebay? has to be unlocked. No doubt the 5 would have been full of fake parts ect and after they have been to these cheap phone fix shops they are no good! We have 5 iPhone 6s in our house and any problems broken screens ect we always go to apple, a bit more expensive but you get your phone back they way you should or a replacement. After the cheap shops have had them apple won't touch them. Pre order on the 7 tomorrow can't wait as the 7 looks good Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lukey 1,620 Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 We all use three network mate unlimited everything for £50 a month each and the phone have a 2y manufacturers warranty on it but only if it's not been touched by these chea shops so that's pretty good for us. I started the contracts at a time where every 2 year when the new model is out we are round about due a upgrade. The work phone is on EE network but three here is just as Good and much better deals. If I was buying a phone out right just for a phone id buy a tenner shot but I use my phone for pretty much everything if working away get to FaceTime, emails watch films ect 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kanny 19,453 Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 Can you use bit torrent or showbiz ect on a apple iPhone? ... I download loads of films and music etc from torrent sites whilst I'm a work then watch or listen when I get home.... My understanding is that your more restricted on the iPhone on what you can do that isn't strictly above board Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My understanding is that your more restricted on the iPhone on what you can do that isn't strictly above board Yeah your right mate but I wouldn't download a film to keep in my phone anyways, with unlimited data there's loads of sites to just stream films ect from, I do download music on my iPhone all I do is download the my media app then use tubidy through that app and it stores in a play list. Imo you can't get a better phone than iPhones Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukey 1,620 Posted September 8, 2016 Report Share Posted September 8, 2016 The Mrs has the iPhone. Broke the screen and paid 70 quid to get it fixed only for it to break again the next week. Her fault not apples. But rather than pay 70 quid to replace it she bought a Samsung for 40 odd quid as she's due an upgrade shortly. She's now converted to samsung Pay the other 70 n sell the phone for £200 if it's a 6? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
