We reviewed the Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra back at the start of 2024 and awarded it a rare five stars despite being rather large and quite expensive at £1,249. If you’re still wanting to get your hands on one of the best smartphones in the business but don’t want to take out a loan to afford it, you might consider a phone contract to spread the cost over two years.
We’ve spotted a great deal on the S24 Ultra from Mobiles.co.uk where the phone is available for £39.99 per month and just £39 upfront. This comes to £998.76 over two years, which is a smidge over £250 cheaper than buying the phone outright.
The best part? This is a contract with unlimited data, as well as unlimited calls and texts. So not only are you getting an awesome new phone, you can use it as much as you want on iD Mobile’s 5G network and not worry about running out of data. Goodbye Wi-Fi!
iD Mobile uses Vodafone’s UK network, and is owned by Currys, which also owns Mobiles.co.uk.

It’s worth noting that this particular £39.99 per month contract will rise to £41.49 from April 1 2026. In accordance with new Ofcom rules, contract providers now have to tell you exactly how much your bills will rise mid-contract, which is much better for the consumer than previously.
The S24 Ultra is a superb phone with anti-reflective OLED display, included S Pen stylus that slots into the phone and can be used to write notes, annotate or draw, a long-lasting battery, and great quad-camera set up on the back. This deal gets you the 256GB storage version.
One thing to bear in mind is that it is all but certain that Samsung will announce the Galaxy S25 series this Wednesday January 22 at an Unpacked event in San Jose. We fully expect to see the Galaxy S25 Ultra launched, which might bring some upgrades on the S24 Ultra - design changes are in store, it seems.

There may be pre-order deals on the new phones so you may want to wait, but if you want to pick up an S24 Ultra - a phone that will get guaranteed software updates until 2031 - this Mobiles.co.uk deal is one of the best we’ve seen.
