Looking to buy or upgrade to a new phone.

I have been looking at all the deals either for a Iphone 6 or Samsung Galaxy s6 etc, as they are the ones I`ve been interested in. But with so many deals and offers and with so little time I wanted to know what the best deal out their is. I am able to go up to around £150.

I would like to go on a contract, but Pay as you go is a option. What is the best network to have? My current phone doesn`t have a network due to being pulled around and basically getting no where.

I don`t really have any specifications.

I can only guess you mean your current phone is faulty.

My advice to you is to buy the Vodafone Smart Ultra 6 for £125 and get an unlock code off Ebay for less than a fiver. Review here:
http://www.trustedreviews.com/vodafo...ultra-6-review

It is without doubt the best phone available at that price point and until you move into the flagship territory of the LG G4 Galaxy S6 you will not find much of a difference.

The best value PAYG deal is the Three all in one 15. You get a three PAYG sim then buy an add on each month for £15 that gives you 300 minutes, 600 texts and unlimited data. However you need to check coverage where you will use the phone.

If you have your heart set on a flagship then I got my wife a LG G4 for £32 a month (unlimited minutes and texts and 5gb of data on EE) from phones.co.uk a couple of weeks ago. She was replacing a Galaxy S4 Zoom and so needed the very best camera experience which is why I got her the G4, but if you are happy with just a “good” phone look at the Smart Ultra 6.

I like the look and sound of the Smart Ultra 6. I am looking at it now, the price is reasonable and all around looks like a good enough phone for me.

Go and have a play in the shop, it is very impressive. It feels well put together and very fast in use.
