Samsung Galaxy A3 | Vodafone | FREE upfront | Unlimited minutes and texts | 16GB data | £36pm
This Vodafone tariff represents the best value Galaxy A3 deal on the network, and there's a lot to like about it. There's the stacks of data you get every month for a start, as well as the free handset at the start of the contract. And then there's the headliner - the £216 cashback, which you have to claim in five installments over the course of the contract. Total cost over 24 months is £648 (after cashback)

Samsung Galaxy A3 | Three | £75.99 upfront | 300 minutes | Unlimited texts | 30GB data | £28pm
As you can see, this huge data deal from Three easily topples the Vodafone tariff above if you don't mind parting with £70-odd upfront.
