Looking for free HTC One M8 on contract <£25/month. Orange/EE couldn't seem to care less about my 17 years of loyalty and the thousands I've spent with them and want me to PAY for one - sod that, I'm from Yorkshire.

So who can offer HTC One M8 for nowt on a <£25/month contract with mininmum of 200 minutes, unlimited texts and 1Gb interweb?

You'll struggle to get that with the original one.

No One.

Yeah I don't think that's going to happen OP, the total cost of what you're wanting to pay over 2 years is less than £600. I can't see anyone offering the brand new phone and the talk plan you want for less than £600 over the 2 years.

I know it's asking a lot, but no-one has yet told me how close I could get though, you negative nellys....

Carphone Warehouse 2GB per month unlimited calls and texts £37.99 per month, free phone, so not very.

That's one search. Essentially what you're asking people to do here is to do the leg work for you.

And I don't think calling other FM (forum members) 'negative nellys' will help your case

The best I can see is with giffgaff but you need a £60 upfront fee.
£50 upfront for phone
£10 for first month goody bag(500 mins/unlimited texts &1gb data)
£21.48 for phone payment
Total monthly =£31.48
Total over 24 months=£805.52

Given the newness of the HTC M8 I think you may struggle to find it "free" on contract at the moment.

Give it a couple of months and I reckon you might.

Contract subsidies are nowhere near what they used to be like in the old days, plus a lot of companies like to force an arbitrary upfront fee for phones just to give the illusion of premiumness or value.

That said the cheapest I can find the M8 for free on is £31.88 per month with unlimited calls, texts, and 1GB data.

Not that i'd recommend Vodafone but that's about a cheap as you'll get.

Same deal can be had on O2.

Thanks everyone, I think I'll maybe leave it a couple of months and see if anything changes. Wouldn't necessarily mind an up-front of maybe £50 if the rest of the deal was good.

giffgaff finance (via Rate Setter) the M8 for £21.48 per month plus £50 upfront and it's an unlocked/unbranded handset.

The order requires purchase of an initial goodybag (30 day bundle) that start at £7.50. However, you're free to buy a sim only or PAYG deal from any network and just cancel any giffgaff recurring goodybags.

Still works out worse than the £32 deal with unlimited minutes and no upfront cost.
