Way back in 2013, when I was still at school (ahem..), we covered Wrappz.com. They do personalised covers and skins for your phone. This weekend, and only this weekend, they’re reducing the prices of their cases by 50% if you put in the code 4EVER. It’s simple to …

If you’ve got one of those weird plastic £10 notes and want to get as much data as possible on a SIM-only plan, listen up, because we’ve got a bit of a run-down for you. First up, for exactly £10 and running on EE masts, is Plusnet. For …

Want one of these? Well, I’ve actually got one to give away shortly – more on that over the weekend. If you want to buy one, you’ll find it costing nearly £70 on Amazon. Booooo.. we want to pay less! Over to to Tesco then, and you’ll find …

Just a few years ago, I vividly remember some of the free gifts being given away with some of the less-popular phones. Usually these would be in the back of newspapers, and you’d find some Nokia B7 Lite (I made up that name) on offer with a “free” …

We’ve already taken a look at this massive 100GB plan from Virgin and, well, that’s great if you want to stream a stack load of stuff on your phone. However, what if you only want to spend a relatively small amount of cash per month? If you’re looking …

OK, you’ve got until next Wednesday to take advantage of this one. It’s with Virgin Media – a virtual network operator using the EE 4G network, so you’re going to get a nice strong signal with excellent coverage. Right now, whether you’ve got the Virgin TV & Broadband …

Want to get the Honor 9 Lite we revealed the other day? Well, now you can. Splash out £199 on the Honor Store and then get yourself a good SIM only deal. Boom. You’re done. Why they’ve called it “Lite”, I really don’t know. OK, it’s got a …

If you’re looking to up the storage capacity in your phone, a massive 128GB should do it, right? Well yes, but normally decent quality microSD cards of this size are over £50. Not, however, right now. Amazon are selling this Samsung card, which comes complete with a free …

So, padding this one out is going to be tricky. It’s from Virgin Media and it doesn’t matter if you’ve got their TV or broadband – the price is the same. It’s a SIM-only deal on a 12-month contract but they’ve doubled up the data. £18 every month …

OK, short version. If you want a good deal on an Honor smartphone, today is the day to get it. Head over to HiHonor.com and you can take advantage of the following deals.. The Honor 6A. This has a 13 megapixel camera, 5 megapixel front shooter. Inside there’s …

If you want a big deal, get over to our friends at Total Phone Deals. They always have the latest offers, whether you’re looking for a contract deal or a SIM only one. Right now we’re looking at SIM only offerings, and for just £9 of your hard-earned …

Well, well, well! Welcome 2018! Just after Christmas I got knocked sideways by this Australian Flu thing and I’ve only just got rid of it. Put it this way, you really don’t want it. It’s bloody horrible. I’ve spent so much time in bed, and not in a …

We’ve all probably had our last pay packet before Christmas and now we’re probably already running low on cash. So, if you fancy gifting or getting yourself a brand new PlayStation 4 Slim (500GB in white) with a copy of Gran Turismo Sport, you can. Right now iD …

Hello my fun festive friends. There’s a bit of a story to this one. Just a few weeks back I jokingly poked a bit of fun at an email we’d received from the lovely, lovely people at Nokia PR. Basically it was a brief email with a picture …

Black Friday has probably cleared you out. Let’s be honest, it’s the end of the month and this is your last pay day until Christmas so we’ve got to be a bit careful with the cash. Here, then, is our semi-regular look at what you can get for …

OK, this Black Friday thing is sending everybody crazy. Just last week we spotted this Plusnet plan which delivered 5GB of monthly data for £10 every month. As you’d expect, it’s a SIM-only offering. The Plusnet network operates on the EE network. However, shortly after we saw that …

Here in a dark, cold Britain, we live for deals. If we can safe a bit of money on a Christmas gift and then get a bit angry because the various delivery companies insist on delivering this just when we’re on the loo, we will. Google have made …

Until about 10 minutes ago, if you wanted unlimited data on a SIM only plan I would’ve pointed you to this Three UK deal which delivers unlimited data with 200 minutes of chatter and unlimited texts. However, Virgin Mobile have just added another Black Friday deal. I really …

At this time of year I’m basically just pimping out the Black Friday deals for various companies. This time it’s Mobiles.co.uk, who have 48 deals rolling right now on their website. Not only that, but you can also get £10 off any Pay Monthly and Upgrade plan by …

Fancy an intelligent thermostat? One that will know where you are and adjust the temperature in your house accordingly? One that you can talk to via an Amazon Echo to adjust the heating? The Nest thermostat is what you need. We reviewed the thing a while ago. Since …

Black Friday seems to now start and end on completely different days and goes on for quite some time. But hey, if we can cut through the “not really that good” deals and find the “properly good” deals then we should be alright. Here’s the selection available from …

Amazon have taken a bit of a different spin on the Black Friday deals, and are offering a 20% off their returned and open box products. Deals have just started and run until November 27th. Have a nose through these Amazon Warehouse Deals and the 20% discount will …

Just last week we found a SIM-only deal on Plusnet which gives 5GB of data for £10 per month. Now though, Virgin Mobile have gone one better with 6GB of data for £10 per month on a SIM only deal. This one runs until December 20th and Virgin …

OK, I won’t bother with an introduction because this is the time to get those festive gifts. Over the next few days you’re going to be bombarded, so here’s some we’ve spotted so far. To start with,

There really shouldn’t be much of a reason NOT to go with a “virtual” operator nowadays. Take Plusnet as an example. They use the EE masts so the signal is going to be flippin’ good. Right now they’ve got some deals which, if you’re quick and you want …

Just a couple of days ago we took a look at the latest iPhone X prices but you guys, quite rightly, said that they were quite a lot of money. Well. Yes. Now, we did find some deals for around £50 per month but, even though this was …

Yesterday we reviewed the 10,000mAh portable charger from RAVPower. It’s small enough to fit in your pocket and is powerful enough to recharge your smartphone or Bluetooth speaker several times over. It’s only £13.99 from Amazon but we’ve managed to get it down even further with an exclusive …

As you’ll know if you read my impressions of it, I loved the Huawei P10. I really, really didn’t want to give the thing back. With a lot of smartphones now becoming fairly similar with their specs, I’m always on the look-out for three key points… A good …

When I get home and do a scan of the surrounding WiFi hotspots, it’s pretty apparent that a huge amount of my neighbours have gone with BT Broadband. If that’s you, this post is perfect if you’re ready to switch to SIM only. BT, as you may or …

This is something we’ve written about before, but it’s definitely worth looking at again. Your phone, that thing in your pocket, could make you a bit of extra cash. No, it won’t do it magically and yes, you will have to do a bit of work to start …

The iPhone 8 release date is today, September 22nd. Those of you who pre-ordered can get to your local Apple or network store and collect that shiny new toy right now. As for everyone else? Well, you can go and buy one out-right. Not a problem, but it’s expensive. The …

I’ll keep this brief, because I’m hopefully talking to those who want a massive slice of data on a network with great coverage. This one is with Virgin Mobile, who use EE. Their SIM-only offer will give you a massive 20GB of data plus 5000 minutes and unlimited …

Looking for the iPhone X prices? Need to know just how much you need to put aside for that early Christmas present to yourself? Well, a contract deal will ease the pain a little, and we’ve already had a look at the Vodafone iPhone X pricing. However, there’s …

You’ve heard all about it, now you want to get yourself one. Well, today is the day to put in that pre-order, and we’re seeing deals popping up on mobile comparison sites already. Here’s a look at some of the offers we’ve spotted so far, but do let …

Here at Coolsmartphone Towers we always like a bargain, and we also love supporting the underdog. Which is why this deal seems to appeal to all my senses, especially after the shock of the iPhone X pricing! Small upstart brand WileyFox have been bashing out smartphones for the …

Want the EE coverage and reach for a SIM-only deal? Want to pay just £6 every month for 1.5GB of data? Well, if you’re quick Plusnet have a deal which does just that. The PR peeps, who offered me a cookie to pimp this plan, tell me that …

Ok, you’re happy with your phone, or you’re going to buy your own. Trouble is, you don’t like worrying about that data package. You want a really big dollop of data and don’t want to pay a fortune for it. Right now, Three have a good couple of …

Fancy getting the Samsung Galaxy S8 this weekend? Perhaps you just want a better deal on your contract? Well, as we always say here at Coolsmartphone, don’t just upgrade with your current provider. That’s bonkers. Go armed. Doing a straight upgrade, just because you want the latest shiny …

Now, let’s be honest, that’s a bit of a deal isn’t it? The SIM Only Advanced Plan package is a 12-month contract but, for only £16 a month, you get 30GB (tethering included) and you can do the Go Binge TV and music thing too. This package also comes with the …

We do love a good deal at Coolsmartphone Towers and sometimes they come around like buses. First up comes through the money saving platform, Quidco. Save £15 per month with O2’s latest sim only deal which is 15GB for £20 per month, reduced from £35. You have to make …
