THE KING Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 At 3 you get unlimited texts and data with 300 minutes for £15pm iirc. That's good ..three are excellent ,them and O2 are the only ones to provide unlimited data, also three have the same tariff for lots of countries . 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paris Hilltoon Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Does anyone have the LG G3? I'm due to upgrade next month, I've got a nexus 4 now. The LG deal I can get is a great price and gives me all the data etc I need. So wondering if anyone has one and can give a review of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't give you a review per say, but my mate has it and he absolutely loves it. I have the S5 and prefer that myself.. But it you can get LG on a much better deal then go for it mate. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romeo Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 At 3 you get unlimited texts and data with 300 minutes for £15pm iirc. Think I am about 18 quid, for unlimited data, plenty of minutes and texts and free 3 to 3 minutes too, I'll never bet another deal with a phone, i'll always buy my own android device and go sim only. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bing (2) Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Good thread but it seems opinions are divided. Some people like certain models, others don't. I just want one that is reliable and works for a few years. I will try to distill the above info and make a decision. (OnePlus One sounds good but I really want a cheap 2nd hand phone). Problem is trusting the seller, been disappointed before. I'd have to actually use it before buying. My current phone is the HTC One which I was given because the wifi signal was weak. It has now gone completely (as detailed in another thread) that's why I want an old, trusty model. The quest continues. I'll follow this thread. The oneplusone looks outstanding. The reason I never got one is mentioned all over this thread as to why folk are looking to upgrade. Their integral batteries are goosed , and the 1+1 has one. (Still don't know if the tinge issues on the screen have been fixed either). I am on my 2nd jiayu g4 advanced , first lasted 6/8 months afore the damp got to it and then got the updated version . See the Chinese phone thread for prices as I cannae mind off the top of my head, but the newer one was @ £120 3 months ago. Excellent phone, and now I have 4 3000mah batteries with a seat charger. The batteries vary in duration, from probably 5 to 8 hours life, and degrade slowly through time, that's 5to8 hours as a WiFi hotspot downloading torrents and simultaneously streaming radio, which is a huge amount of time. Exactly why you should never buy a phone with an integral one. Go Chinese junk baybee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can get the upgrade deal that's on offer now next month, then I think its settled. I've had no complaints with this nexus (made by LG) and with the G3 having the best screen around, phablets aside, then I should be one happy bunny. Plus I'll be able to use 4G when ever I go see my folks. Ridiculously, Auchterarder has 4G, after it was negotiated that the coverage would stay after the Ryder cup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm £12.70 with 3 for Unlimited data, 300 minutes and 5000 texts. On a months notice sim only contract. The only time I ever pay more each month is if I send picture messages. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've had the G3 for a couple of months and don't really have any issues with it. It's pretty much the same spec as the S5 so there shouldn't be much difference. I would say that while screen is the best in terms of size and resolution it's not as vibrant as it could be and colours tend to be a wee bit more washed out than on other handsets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheScarf Posted October 9, 2014 Share Posted October 9, 2014 Got my PAC from Vodafone this morning, going to head to the 3 shop on Saturday to get my hands on an HTC One M8. Can't be arsed with the iPhone anymore. The battery and lack of storage capabilities sucks a big one. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there's an external St slot on an M8, may be thinking of the wrong phone though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ando Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 (edited) Can you 'tether' ? I have a 3 wifi broadband dongle but could combine phone and laptop if tethering was possible.I have an option to USB tether but I've never done so.I often use it as a mobile hotspot to connect my laptop and it works perfectly, even when using VPN for connection to my work.

Was your deal just a straight offer or did you 'haggle' to get it? When I wanted to stop my broadband service because I was going away for 6 months, they called back and offered me a deal which I accepted. I'll be looking into this next month. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I wanted to stop my broadband service because I was going away for 6 months, they called back and offered me a deal which I accepted. I'll be looking into this next month. I was on a standard pay monthly contract and it came to an end, I wanted a Nexus 4 but they didn't have it in stock so I asked to just cancel the monthly contract and I'd look elsewhere. The guy talked me into this deal on a monthly sim only deal so I could keep my number and switch to another monthly phone contract when the Nexus 4, or any other phone I liked, was available. I was paying £35 a month previously for unlimited everything with a Desire HD but he said I never used more than 200 mins a month so struck this deal for me. This was over the phone so not sure if it is an off the rack deal, I threatened to leave so they gave me a good deal I guess, in the hope that I would commit to another 24 month contract soon after. Best thing I ever did, just buy my phones when I fancy a change now. I've been on this deal for over three years, the price has never changed as far as I can remember, certainly less than a pound dearer in that time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
