Yahoo Finance Best Black Friday mobile phone deals 2021: Offers from O2, Samsung and Vodafone
If you’re coming to the end of your phone’s contract you’re probably looking for a new SIM or SIM and handset deal.
But trying to work out the best offer for your needs can be tough, often to the point where we just stay with the same provider. But with Black Friday a few days away, now’s the perfect time to snap up the deal of dreams.
Black Friday weekend - the one time of year when cut-price deals and offers rain down on us like a confetti cannon - is coming.
This year the shopping frenzy will begin on Nov 26 and finish on Monday Nov 29, aka Cyber Monday. It’s prime time to tick off your shopping list, whether you’ve got your eye on kitchen tech, new home entertainment, or a better phone contract - preferably one that comes with the latest handset.
The good news is that this year, Black Friday is shaping up to be the biggest yet, with tech brands and phone networks expect to swing the scythe on the RRP of their mobile phone packages and SIM only offers.
This means you could get your hands on a new device for a snip of the price, or dramatically reduce the price of your monthly contract if you’re happy with your phone and just want a SIM deal.
Although tech deals are normally reserved for Cyber Monday, every year brands start the sales firing gun earlier and earlier - meaning discounts are coming thick and fast now. But with so many great-sounding deals flying around, it can be bewildering to know what to go for.
That’s where we come in. We’re Black Friday veterans here at ES Best, and will bring the best of the phone deals to you as soon as they come in. No more endless scrolling and comparing - we’ll sift through the offers to sort the wheat from the chaff.
If you can’t wait until then, we’ve had a look at some of the best phone deals to be had right now.
