Although the Samsung Galaxy Ace has been available for free from few British operators, all of them required a bit expensive plans with the phone purchase. No more, with O2 asking for just 10.50 GBP a month! That, of course, requires a two-year commitment, but then again the same was true even with plans costing 25 GBP a month.
Anyway, that 10.50 GBP gets you 50 minutes and 250 text messages per month. No data is included and you’ll have to pour out additional 3 GBP a month to get 100 MB, 6 GBP for 500 MB, or 10 GBP for 1 GB. Even with a single gig per month — which is more than enough for basic surfing and emailing — that’s 20.50 GBP, i.e. less than 25 GBP a month.
The SIM-free price remains the same and it’s 229.99 GBP, which we think is just about right for a device as capable as the Galaxy Ace…
