    Well aware that if I get a new S7 the contract will cost me £20 more than a sim only to, in effect, pay for the damn phone over the 2 years....

    So of course, might be better to buy an alternative phone (and put it through the company) and then get a sim only contract. In the past, although it might have changed now, getting a business tariff through the business was just a waste of time.

    it`s not just numbers xiaomi is the 3rd largest phone maker in the world , nothing comes close for the price

    quidco tracked at £15 this morning so a very high spec well made phone is costing me £127 , once i sell my sony c4 for £140 it costs me nothing to change every 6 months .

    throw in a 3 payg sim card that never expires its credit after 30days and it costs virtually nothing.

    phone contracts are just loans on overpriced handsets.

    Had omega watch , never wore it ended up in it`s box for 5 years , who needs a watch anyway ? look at your phone.

    smart swiss watch market will die out in the end

    i have yet to drive a car that does not rattle creak , once one is made i will assume that is a quality product. Could be a long wait.

    That's my philosophy. Though I do wear a £10 Casio digital watch.
    Lots of people do otherwise they wouldn't still sell them.

    Doubtless you own at least one thing which is not totally bottom-of-the-range / cheapest. So welcome to the Stupid club
