As it's out of warranty the cheapest places will be your local market stall or independent phone shop.

If you do a google search there are plenty of places that repair S4 cracked screens. (Would probably work out much cheaper than sending it to O2.

You could also give Samsung a call and see how much they would charge?

UK - 0330 SAMSUNG (726 7864)

Either send it to Samsung for repair or get an estimate from a local mobile store.

Depending on how you feel about DIY you can buy for under £20 and fix it yourself.

I have replaced a few iPhone screens for friends who have bought the DIY kits - usually there is a video somewhere to help you, so as long as you take it slow and steady doing it yourself is an option.

Take this opportunity & splash out on a new sim free phone then just pop your SIM card in

Thank you for all the replies Interestingly was quoted; £200 by local O2 store, £140 by local Timpsons store, and £40 local market store...... Not sure I'm brave enough to DIY, a bit rubbish with things like that

The phone is only worth around £80 so go for the cheapest option.
