Subscriber JoshBRFC+ Posted May 31, 2020 Subscriber Posted May 31, 2020 Cracked my screen on my IPhone 11 at a petrol station. It fell out of my shorts pockets. I don’t have insurance, as I’ve never ever damaged a phone in my life. Typical. Any ideas people? It’s not bad and I can still see the screen it’s just cracked at the top left and top right. Curious as if any of you can recommend anything or websites or easy cheaper fixes.

Subscriber JoshBRFC+ Posted June 1, 2020 Subscriber Posted June 1, 2020 Thanks @Bluewolf I’ll give it a look.
Bluebird Hewitt Posted July 6, 2020 Posted July 6, 2020 Anyone know what the Oppo phones are generally like? While I'm not in a huge rush (my replacement P20 Pro is not even a year old yet), I'm mainly having a browse to see what's out there. Iphones are out of the question as I prefer Android and being able to have more choice, which unfortunately applies to the newer Huawei phones as well. At present, it leaves me with the Samsung S20 range and while I wouldn't mind going back to Samsung, the higher models are pricey as shit (even the S20 5G isn't that cheap). Just curious for extra options really.
Subscriber Pyfish+ Posted October 5, 2021 Subscriber Posted October 5, 2021 Just made the switch from iPhone XS to Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra and I love it. Was never a fan of Android before but my last Android phone was 2011 so it's come a long way! Still tweaking some settings but it feels a lot more 'me' than the iPhone did.

Weirdly was looking at Samsung Galaxy S21 earlier as I'm due a free upgrade. Sounds worth it then? I'm trying to get a decent SIM Only deal - I'm currently on a 2-year 60GB data contract which quite obviously became pretty redundant in March 2020 due to COVID, as I was out and about far less and now can rely on WiFi. I'm already looking forward to the approx £30-40/m savings I could make with a SIM only deal...

Everything is unlimited but around 100gb of data per month some upto £120. This is more than enough.

There were times I'd have loved that amount of data but really don't need that any more and also any savings made right now are very helpful!

I got a too good to refuse deal really. £325 back from recycling my iPhone (£150 of which for buying a new Samsung phone). Unlimited everything including unlimited data. And it's a cheaper contract than the iPhone one. The phone itself is really nice and I'm enjoying using it. The camera on the S21 Ultra is meant to be amazing and like having a mini DSLR but haven't had a good chance to use it yet!

Don't know anything about their new models but I've never seen someone go for them if they have a bit of more cash.

I think it's time for an upgrade now as my contract ended in April 2020 (what bad timing that was). Problem is the upgrade 'offers' from EE are utter shite and I'm not sure of any other places (like what Carphone Warehouse used to do before EE pulled the plug) that do offers on upgrades. Was tempted to try Tesco Mobile just to see how they were for a short period (especially as the contracts are flexible), but the phone choices are not the best.
Administrator Stan Posted October 27, 2021 Administrator Posted October 27, 2021 What's everyone's experience of O2?? I used to be on their network ages and ages ago, been on EE since. Been looking around at deals for Samsung S21 and came across a deal for £40/m for 250GB data. Obscenely cheaper than what EE can offer for more money/less data offered. Is it too good to be true? Trying to look at what the catch could be...

However, the range of phones on the website isn't really the best. I'm like you in that EE are taking the piss with the upgrades they give. Either a stupid amount a month, sod all data or both.

Paying the same per month for a brand new phone with no upfront cost, plus a few extras thrown in. Just took a fucking age to get through to them in the first place

Heard some good things about the Pixel 6 in fairness. Would have happily stuck with my Chinese spy phone, but as they don't have Android now, it's no longer an option.

I can be in the pub with no signal at all and someone I know on EE has really good signal in the same place.
Bluewolf Posted October 28, 2021 Posted October 28, 2021 Just upgraded my existing deal on Wednesday, so mine dropped from £23 a month down to £12 now I am not paying for the phone as well..

And now my upgrade date has conveniently coincided with this phone playing up a bit now. So thought might as well get something new on a decent deal while I can. Considering it was EE, and I was only browsing again today on the off chance, I was surprised it wasn't something extortionate like £70 for 10GB basic plan. 50 minutes ago, LFCMike said: Generally ok.

I did have a feeling EE have better coverage. Waiting for their customer service to answer their phones was very long. Once I was through they were very good, mind.

I do like my spy phone in fairness (P20 Pro) but I've had it for a while and could do with an upgrade (I've been eligible since April 2020. Great timing). When I look at EE's 'offers' though, most are a joke. Ringing them up to see what they can actually offer rather than online might be a better idea. That or nip to the EE shop and see what's around.

Much better trying to negotiate something with them as opposed to the standard exaggerated deals online.

But, its also a cautionary tale about how to not plan for the future.
MUFC Posted July 22, 2022 Posted July 22, 2022 Upon release, can see this being near the £2000 bracket.

My brother-in-law owns an older gen Fold and I can't say I am huge fan of how thick it becomes when it is folded. That said, I always feel this phone is for a very specific demographic of users and isn't an everyday consumer phone but that's just me.

Maybe for people with businesses who email and stuff on the go.
