Is second hand an option? I recently sold my HTC One on adverts for near enough that price, Much better phone than any of the 250 quid phones on sale.

There are plenty of other decent phones to be got in that range second hand.

There is no better value than the Moto G, Motorola were owned by Google and developed this mid end phone for a budget price. Google some reviews. This is the newer revision with 4G and SD card slot

Old at this stage, but the Samsung galaxy s2 is still an awesome phone.

It's an amazing bargain that put some flagship devices to shame for it's speed (S4), it's only real drawback is the average camera

The price of the Moto G is roughly 150, but its on par with phones worth over 300.

I may go for the Moto G so.

Get it on Tesco.co.uk, use this code TDX-PRKW to get £10 off

• Get the SIM unlocked version for £149.00 through Parcel Motel
• or
• get the SIM locked version for £139.00 through Parcel Motel, go to ebay for an unlock code for £2 when it arrives.

Thank you very much

Or buy it here Sim free - works out around the same price when you factor in the cost after the exchange rate and the cost for parcel motel.

Also saves you the hassle of using parcel motel.

£129 sterling is only €163

The first link you posted for the sim unlocked version is 139£ which is 190€

The second link involves using parcel motel and then buying unlock codes which seems like a awful lot of hassle if the user isn't comfortable with using unlock codes etc.

Either way both are good deals.

I posted a £10 code so even the most expensive option on Tesco is about €40 cheaper than Expansys which works out at €222 inc P&P, Parcel Motel is only €3.50
