So, to help you make a choice when it comes to buying your next iPhone 15, Galaxy S23 or any other shiny new handset, we've rounded up the best perks for UK networks below.
Vodafone
If you've taken out a pay-monthly contract with Vodafone before you'll be aware of its VeryMe rewards app. It's an app where you'll find restaurant discounts, reduced event tickets and even deals on popular days out.
It's Very Me passes can get you 50% off a host of popular UK attractions with museums, zoos, and theme parks on the list. One of its most sought-after offers is its cinema ticket discounts. The brand of cinema changes throughout the year and the provider is currently offering 30% off tickets at Odeon, all you have to do to qualify is pay for a monthly contract, no matter the price.
Sky Mobile
- Get some of the best data perks at Sky Mobile, you can take out a contract here
Next up we have the perks offered at Sky, where texts and calls are one of its top freebie priorities. That's because it offers free UK calls and texts on all of its SIM-only contracts to all customers who already have Sky TV.
If you don't already pay for its TV service don't worry as it's not the only perk offered on its SIM contracts. One benefit for all is its monthly rollover scheme, which will keep your unused data for up to three years. This means if you don't use the full amount you pay for, let's say 75GB as an example, you can roll it over to another month and use it at a later date.
To top it all off customers can also change their data amount whenever they need. Don't have enough data each month, or looking to cut down? Sky allows customers to change their plan (from the following month) in the My Sky app.

Cineworld, Cafe Nero and Nandos seem to be its most focused chains when it comes to offering freebies, and an example of its weekly offer could see you get a free ice blended drink at Cafe Nero each week.
