A new website has just launched which compares SIM-free and network-free phone deals. It should, according to the people behind it, ensure that you get the best deal on your next mobile and / or talk plan. They estimate that the average consumer will save £330 buying from …
My experience of streaming TV at the weekend was, let me tell you, thoroughly disappointing. My son wanted to watch Iron Man 2 and so I set off trying to find a streaming service offering it. That bit alone was tricky. We couldn’t find a page detailing what …
Walking around with that low battery notice on your phone is always going to put you on edge. So, to charge on the move, your going to need something like this. This is the Lumsing Harmonica 10,400mAh dual-port power bank and yes, it really is designed to look …
OK, weird one this. If you want to get yourself a brand new Google Nexus 6P, just head to the Google Play Store. It’s easy. It’s marked up at £449 for the 32GB version, £499 for the 64GB one and £579 for the 128GB version. Trouble is, all …
It seems a bizarre and almost desperate pitch. Imagine a smartphone manufacturer offering up a £469.99 smartphone and then, if you buy it, giving you a phone worth £419.99 completely free. That’s be insane. You’d think that the manufacturer had totally lost the plot. You’d think that they …
If you just want an e-reader and you’re not worried about all the extra gubbins, Amazon have lopped £22 off their Paperwhite today. There’s free delivery on this too, and this has got a battery that will last for weeks rather than hours. No colour screen, no apps, …

We live in an amazing age where you can buy a reasonable spec computer for less than £300. However, this price usually gets you a non-touch-screen laptop tloaded with compromises and inferior components. The BravoWin 10KT is looking to challenge that perception and show that you can get a …
Come close dear friends, because I have a confession. My normal, “go-to” handset has (for quite some time now) been the LG G4. I’m a big fan of the thing, but since the Huawei P9 launch event I’ve had that phone in my pocket instead. I can qualify …
Some time ago I took out a 12 month EE SIM-only plan. It was a pretty good deal I thought, and delivered 4GB of data every month for £19.99. Not bad, but it was made even better thanks to a cashback offer I’d grabbed. It brought the monthly …
Newly-released high-end phones are always going to be expensive, and the LG G5 is no exception. If you look on most online stores and want to get the SIM-free version it’s going to set you back around £529. However, there is a way to get it for £391.99 …
Right, you know the deal. The Honor 5X is already a crackin’ bit of kit for the money. It’s got a 5.5″ 1080×1920 display and is powered by an Octa-core 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 616 CPU. There’s a 13 megapixel rear camera sensor (f/2.0 with dual-LED flash) and a …
EE have returned with their rather insane SIM-only data-only plan. You get double-speed 4G data and a massive 25GB monthly allowance for just £15! Here’s how to get it. Head to the SIM Only EE pages and choose the £30 25GB package at the bottom. Then open the …
I tend to dip into Quidco every now and then. It’s especially useful if you’re about to start a contract – and that can be a broadband deal, TV package or a new gas supplier. If you’re looking around for a mobile deal then it’s beneficial too, and …
Walking around the shops in Burton-upon-Trent, I couldn’t help but notice just how popular CEX and GAME were. The front of each store had a window with lots of phones and tablets that have been traded in. You can then, obviously, buy them but at a knock down …
I need you to tick a few boxes for me. Do you have kids? Do you want to watch a feature-length family-friendly movie this weekend? How about paying absolutely nothing for it? Sound good? Head to Google Play and, if you’re in the right country (the full list includes …
Well, like I said at the launch event, Samsung know how to launch a phone. They know how to advertise it and sell it too. In fact, you may remember our earlier story about their finance deals. Well, come close to the screen friends, because for today only …

We’re all feeling far too fat. There’s still boxes of chocolates everywhere and for breakfast we had turkey on toast. Still, despite the fact that we should probably all be relaxing, loads of you will be out in the sales to finally demolish any remaining allowance you had …
Yes, we’re getting emails from PR agencies telling us about January sales already. This one is from Three, who are launching their “biggest SIM sale ever”. They’re offering half price SIM-only deals for as little as £4 for the first three months of a 12 month plan. Not …

Right, you’ve only got a few hours on this one, so be quick. We know that the Honor 7 has been dropped in price from the vMall already, but this offer is now direct from Amazon and includes free UK delivery. The Honor 7 has been dropped in …
Remember recently when Microsoft announced that it was going to reduce the storage it offered on OneDrive, and that the unlimited tier was going away because some people were treating it as – well, unlimited? I know that some people were using up to 75 TB of that …
It’s that time of year again when we start looking to buy Christmas gifts for our loved ones, and I’m sure for some of you, technology and gadgets will feature heavily. There’s the small chance that some of you haven’t managed to get Christmas presents yet, but over …
The most annoying thing about trying to get a phone from OnePlus has been their insistence on using an invite system in order to allow you to buy one of their phones. It seems like there is some good news on that front as for the next few …
Wait, wait, I know what you’re thinking. “PLEASE! No more deals! I’ve had Red Thursday, Black Friday, Cyber Monday and far too many offers in between! NO MORE!! I’ve got no money left!” I’ve got to do this one though. A 128GB microSD card for just £22.76? It’s …

The mobile site isn’t responding and the desktop site has no mention of it (actually as I was writing this article it is now showing up but not actually working). Is it another curse of the “Black Friday” with too many people trying to access it, or did …
