More than 90 phones are available and, because it’s Amazon, you get all the familiar Amazon reviews, order tracking and so on.
As an example of some of the deals, you can grab the HTC One M8 for free on a £28 per month plan. That’ll bag you unlimited minutes and texts plus you get 1GB of data to play with each month. If you want to pay a bit less, the Huawei P7 is free on a £20 per month plan, and that’ll deliver 300 minutes, unlimited texts and 300MB of data.
Despite this move, you can still also buy handsets network free from Amazon without a contract.
