Are you getting a new phone Mrs b? If so it's best to stick with the ecosystem you're used to. If you have an iphone or other apple devices (do you still have an ipad?) stick with those. Do you want to do something specific with it or are you just being forced into the upgrade as everything wants a smart phone.
I am replacing my very original Samsung flip top, which I never use. It is Pay as you go. I cannot hear on it.
My ipad is doing well now. I think I just let it run completely flat. Don't use that much either.
The reason for a possible upgrade is because, my House/contents Insurance is due for renewal. Because of my two water leak claims, the policy has gone up £235. I expected that BUT what I didn't expect it that any future water leaks, the excess is now £2500. !!!!!. However they can provide me with a Leak Bot which works in conjunction with my Iphone or Android. I can test for leaks as often as I like and my excess will go down to £1000 /claim.
After my blood pressure had returned to normal, reading all the details those two claims cost over £6,000 each, so even if I paid £2500 excess is it still cheaper than over £6 K.
I thought I would look around but, I do not want to commit myself to another monthly outgoing (saving it for Heating Bills). I was looking at a site called Affordable Mobiles, but it seems as though they want to tie me in for 24 months. So probably on the back-burner and fingers crossed. Thanks everybody for your help.
