As the cost of living continues to bite, Mrs Mummypenny shares her top tips for those looking to get their hands on the latesttech devices without breaking the bank.
The personal finance expert has rounded up the best deals from Vodafone to help Brits make savings on premium devices from sought after brands including Apple and Samsung.
- Take advantage of trading in – Don’t miss out on making savings on the latest tech. With Vodafone’s Unbeatable Trade-in, you could save up to £864* on a new Samsung smartphone, when trading in an eligible device using Vodafone’s trade-in tool available through the My Vodafone app. Customers can choose whether to get the trade in value as cash, credit towards a new contract or mobile phone bill credit – money that can be used to make sure the latest tech is always within reach.
- Avoid paying twice – Lots of mobile phone contracts including Vodafone’s Unlimited Max + Entertainment package) let you choose additional benefits like YouTube Premium, Amazon Prime or Spotify over a 24-month contract period. Don’t double up and pay for your own if it’s already included in a package deal.
- Look for money-saving benefits – Once you’ve got your hands on a new device, you don’t want to be stung by unexpected costs. Vodafone Evo plans include Battery Refresh and Device Care, offering long term protection and peace of mind.
- Take back control – Most pay monthly mobile plans have limited choice on how long you have to pay off your device. Vodafone’s EVO plans, puts the customer back in control of how they pay for their new smartphone – offering the flexibility to decide how much they want to pay upfront and over how long they want to pay it off – from three to 36 months completely interest free. Vodafone EVO customers can also take advantage of flexible upgrades, allowing them to get a new phone from 3 months into their plan, as well as choosing to trade in their old smartphone to make their next handset more affordable
- Look for package deals – They’re not only good for holidays, but they can also help you save on the latest tech too. Network providers often offer discounts through bundle deals, for example Vodafone’s Vodafone Together package brings together mobile and broadband and can save customers up to £380 a year.
Vodafone has partnered with personal finance expert, Mrs Mummypenny, to help Brits make the most of their money during the cost-of-living crisis.
She says, “We love to treat ourselves, but now even more than ever we need to make sure our money goes further.
“Often, households can miss out on savings by ignoring a few simple but effective ways to cut down on costs. Trading in an old mobile phone is a great way to get some money or make a saving if looking to upgrade your tech, and doing so with Vodafone will guarantee the best price.”
