Three zeroes Samsung Galaxy S II upfront fee

No handset cost, only a monthly sub

Cloud storage: Lower cost and increase uptime

We rather like the Samsung Galaxy S II - you can read our thoughts on this tasty Android smartphone here - and now you can get one for next to nowt.

Three is offering the 4.3in - handy if you're one of the many folk who favour a large display - dual-core handset for free on a £25-a-month two-year contract. The catch: you have to avail yourself of the deal before next Wednesday, 21 March.

That, says Three, is an up-front saving of 99 quid.

Samsung Galaxy S2

The basic package the S II is on gives you 100 minutes airtime, 5000 texts and 250MB of data per month, but you can get more of each if you're willing to agree to hand over more money each month.

You can get full details at the Three website. ®

free.... dont make me laugh

Over two years the cost to you will £600 plus vat, they don't do this to lose money. They will also gain if you use more than 100mins or the dat allowance which is low.

The phone is also due for a replacement or update.

So this phone is free for only £720 inclusive, great deal.

Better deals elsewhere...

There's been better deals for the S2 way before Christmas. I got an unbranded S2 under Orange Panther for 26/month, with more data and texts, plus additional cashbacks. With Orange Panther swappables you can get a Deezer subscription for free as well, which means I have my music sorted for the next two years...

Can be had much much cheaper...

Alternatively you can find this phone with double the minutes and triple the data for £17.88 a month with line rental redemption, even without the hassle of the redemption it's only £26 a month and on a network that's not a complete travesty.

Good try at bagging yourself a freebie though
