I'm hoping to buy a new phone to replace my ageing Samsung Galaxy Ace 2. I want one of the "better" phones i.e Galaxy S6, HTC M9 or LG G4.
Problem is I really have a major aversion to contracts and pay monthly deals - there's less flexibility and in the end I find that contract deals work out costlier in the long run (considering I use my phone relatively infrequently).
First question is why do manufacturers or operators insist on new launches being made only available on contract? Second, does anyone know when these nice new phones will be released on PAYG tariffs? I know O2 are in the process of rolling them out already on PAYG, but they still insist on me signing up to monthly bundles which again, I don't want.
Thanks everyone.
