These days, most of us rely on our mobile phones for a number of different things. From browsing the internet, ordering food, or checking out the latest dance craze on social media, our smartphones can do much more than simply make calls and send texts.

Do you think you have the UK's oldest mobile phone? Then Mobile Phones Direct wants to hear from you.

Whether you have a retro Mitsubishi Roamer or a tiny Nokia 3310, you could be in with the chance of winning a mobile phone upgrade to either an as new iPhone 13 or a Samsung S22, with this fantastic competition.

Do your bit for the planet with As New

Aiming to make things simple with its non-technical talk, the friendly UK-based retailer is open to take your questions and queries any day of the week - even Sundays. Operating since 1992, Mobile Phones Direct became part of the AO family in 2019 and knows all there is to know about mobile phones.

As well as the huge selection of brand new handsets on offer, you can also find a popular selection of “as new” mobiles, which are available on contract and handset deals.

From sim-only Samsungs to the latest iPhone, Mobile Phones Direct has all sorts of great devices and deals on offer. Apple lovers could save up to £125 by buying As New, when compared to buying brand-new handsets. Models include the iPhone 13 Pro and Pro Max, iPhone SE and iPhone 12 with other models being made available by the day.

Indistinguishable from brand-new models, the As New iPhones come from official Apple factories with a 12-month warranty, with many of the UK's leading networks also available as part of the contract options. When choosing your new device, you can also benefit from free next-day delivery seven days a week.

Buying refurbished "as new" mobile phones is not only great for the planet, but it's great for your bank account too, helping you save money on a new phone upgrade.

Talking about the benefits of buying As New, AO's mobile director Scott Hooton said: "There is a huge demand right now for more cost-effective options when it comes to upgrading or replacing mobile phones, so we're thrilled to launch this special new range of ‘as new’ phones for UK customers.

"There’s a lot of pressure on household budgets, but consumers are still keen to keep up with the latest in technology, including mobile phones, which can be an essential part of everyday life.

“That’s why we’re offering our customers an attractive price point, with our as new phone deals being, on average, between £72 and £120 over a 24-month contract, often cheaper than 'brand new' equivalents.”

Go from smart to smarter

Whether you want to use your mobile phone for surfing the internet or not, there is no denying that the most recent smartphones are some of the easiest handheld devices to use.

Big touchscreens and customisable covers mean that you can personalise your new mobile to your heart's content. Built-in safety features also mean that you can keep your private stuff private.
