I'm looking to get a new mobile phone and the costs work out about the same to keep my SIM-only contract and buy a handset, or get a new contract which includes the phone.
However what are the differences in warranty? My wife's iPhone broke after 18 months and nobody was really sure who was at fault... the provider said it was Apple's problem but Apple said the provider sold the phone not them (which seems correct to me).
1)So it seems buying a phone directly makes it simpler in case of a fault - but does getting a phone on contract tend to offer additional/better cover?
2)If the seller is responsible for the warranty, does this mean you'd be better buying directly from Amazon (or another company with good customer service) than from the manufacturer directly?
