End of my 18 month contract & need a new phone

[Anonymous]

My phone is 18 months old and is in need of replacement, what options do I have?

Android phones have 2 year warranty. iPhones only 12 months, so it depends what phone you have?

And also what you need out of a phone? So many to choose from...all with differing capabilities...:smileywink:

OK, so you read that differently to me, lol....
If you mean options such as taking a new contract have a look at the shop pages for your options.

Option 1. Send the phone for repair either through O2 or the manufacturer.

Option 2. Pay off the contract and take out a new one (Refresh only requires the handset to be paid)

Option 3. Buy a phone and just swap the sim over. Either a cheapo or mid priced smartphone from independents or used from somewhere like CEX.

I'd suggest making a shortlist of phones that interest you. Look at end user reviews on YouTube and then visit high street shops to have a play with demo models.
