The phone is also due for a replacement or update.

So this phone is free for only £720 inclusive, great deal.

And why's that news?!

I've seen plenty of deals with no upfront fee at that price.

In fact I got an S2 a few months back via Tesco's Mobile shop (actually on T-Mobile) for no upfront fee and with more minutes and data than that for £20 a month..

Can be had much much cheaper...

With Orange Panther swappables you can get a Deezer subscription for free as well, which means I have my music sorted for the next two years...
