I think carphone have a huge trade in discount, you get an extra £200 on what you get for your handset, so you would get £535 trade in plus atleast £65 cash back.

Nice, I got the S24+ on ID with unlimited data, texts & calls for £39 a month. I got some cash back and some Galaxy Buds2 Pro headphones and a SmartTag2.
Download speeds on ID are generally very good >600 Mbps isn't uncommon BUT upload can sometimes be a bit lacking (sometimes <2 Mbps)

I found if I used larger silicon ear tips, they stayed in better.

I like the hook type as always cycling or in the gym when I use them. Always feel like I am going to lose them otherwise

Re: What have you just bought?
@ Hugh and Jay
I have tried using different size ear tips and the blumming things still fall out. .....(TMI i know but one of my first, very expensive, pair fell into the loo and there was no way I was going to stick it in my ear afterwards.  :  )
I like listening to music as I garden and I am expecting at least 2 earbud trees to grow through the borders next year. I used to take my phone out with me and doing the phone hunt was even more annoying until I found a make of ear bud that has a better range. Thumbs up to budget priced Jesebang.

The networks bad at home but I don't need it there unless VM goes down then it's useless.

Re: What have you just bought?
Earlier today I took delivery of my shiny new iPhone 15 Pro Max 256gb. Had the 13 PM for a good while and as it was pretty damn good I never felt like upgrading but those urchins at EE made me an offer I couldn’t refuse.
The titanium body makes it much lighter than the 13. The video recording is out of this world and it’s blisteringly fast at running my work app - the 13 ran it pretty well but the 15 feels like about 5 times faster. Loads of new extra little features that I’m enjoying too. Very happy with this.

Enjoy your new device, I'm loving my Pixel 9 Pro XL which I got on release day last week, it's a huge step up from my trusty S20FE, it also came with a free smart watch for very little monthly cost increase and I'm blown away with the AI camera abilities, with a few simple clicks I turned 2 cars in my works car park into a Ferrari and Lamborghini and with a fun fair in the background and it looked real.

Yeah I’m not too sure AI has much in store that excites me, not on a phone anyway. Due to DRM it’s not coming to Europe until next year but I don’t feel like I’m missing out on much right now.
