Samsung galaxy s26 256GB on O² 100bg data, 24 months, £20p/m £179 upfront (£319 after cashback and trade in) + free buds 4 pro

The deal

This is probably the best opportunity to get a Samsung S26 at a great price (leaving aside the O₂ contract, which can be seen as a free bonus considering how much the phone itself costs). To get straight to the point: on the Uswitch mobile compare website, click on the Samsung S26 deal with a £179 upfront cost for the phone and £20 a month for 100GB (at this point, it’s worth using a Quidco/TopCashback account—I got £28 tracked). You’ll be redirected to the samsung.com website. Under trade-in, select "any phone, any condition"—meaning the oldest, non-working piece of junk you have sitting in a drawer. This drops the upfront price for the phone from £179 down to £29. Use the code 26BUDS to get free Samsung Galaxy Buds 4 Pro. Then, once you receive the phone, go to promotions.my-samsung.com/uk/…AJD to claim a £250 cashback as a card to use in Samsung Wallet for any purchases. So, breaking down the cost: £719 (cost of the O2 contract and upfront phone fee) - £150 (trade-in; if you don't have a phone to trade, you can easily buy something on Marketplace for £5–£10) - £250 cashback, bringing the total to £319 for the phone with a two-year plan. If you don't want the earbuds, you can sell them on eBay for about £120, which reduces the phone's price to £200. And if someone doesn't want the new phone, they can sell the Samsung for around £450+, leaving them with £250+ in their pocket and a free two-year plan.
