View Full Version : Looking for a new mobile phone? Please give this a go :)
http://www.pricesearching.co.uk/Mobile
We've added a mobile phone price comparison search to Price Searching. It is still a WIP and is not generally available, but it IS working and you can find some stonking deals and free gifts on there.
If you have the time to give it a go then please do, and let us know what you think and what other search options you'd like to see.
We're aware that links to 'Buymobilephones.net' are currently not working, and we're investigating this issue.
Just a thought - is it possible to restrict the search by network?
There are one (or two) networks I would not want to use.
Should be... That's one I'll add :)
EDIT - I've now added the option to filter by network :)

Looks very good, couple of suggestions though - can filters be added for network and monthly tariff preferred? and what about adding the three network?
The mobile phone manufacturer 'Network' should probably be 'Sim only' or similar?
Plus, is it possible to allow a search without having to specify a phone manufacturer? When I renew my contract, I generally don't care much what phone I get, I just want the cheapest deal that provides enough minutes/texts whatever. So I'd like a search where you needn't specify a phone manufacturer, just a network.
Try it now - I've removed the need for manufacturer to be selected.
That's great! It's bringing up contracts for about £9 per month with a free phone, which is usually around the bottom end of the market.
Are you excluding phones4u from this, in line with the forums policy?
Phones4U are included, but they don't appear very often as their deals aren't that fantastic.
That's great! It's bringing up contracts for about £9 per month with a free phone, which is usually around the bottom end of the market.
The best deal on there works out at around £6.11/month after cashback on an 18 month contract. That's with T-Mobile.
Yeah, just saw them! That's bargainous.
I'm not getting any deals at all coming up for Tesco or Virgin networks - is that a bug, or are there just none listed with any of the retailers?
EDIT: Virgin are now appearing, but nothing for Tesco still.
I did a data refesh a few minutes ago so that might explain the Virgin data. It may be that Tesco only do PAYG - I'll check.
Tesco are stored in the database, but it is only PAYG and there are currently no valid deals listed for them.

Works great - some good deals with cashback :)
You can now search based on the handset features and total cost of the contract.
The very cheapest deals are usually on mobiles2yourdoor.co.uk - typically they carry some completely free deals (after cashback) and sub-£5 p.m. contracts.
We've added the ability to search on the average monthly cost, number of texts and number of minutes :)
mobiles2yourdoor.co.uk should be included in our results.
Edit: Yep, found a few deals listed from them - there aren't any less than £5/month though at the moment!
Bumping for the Mobile Phone Forum crowd :)

It would be nice if you could click the results to sort by price, manufacturer etc.
I did a PAYG vodafone search, looking for the cheapest and the results were arranged by supplier with no way to change to a price listing.
This isn't a major problem when there are only a few results, but when there are 100s it could be.
yup - sorting is coming. At present we're finalising the search/filter functionality and then we'll be allowing ordering of the results :)
Never knew that there were so many gifts available.
Was wondering has anyone spotted the best laptop as a gift, looks like most of them are Celeron based?
Just did a search on this for the Samsung i8510 with a max price of £0, and the first item on the list was the phone at £59.99. Few other links in there where the phone is not free. Full link is below. Have found some good deals in there though.
