Shoppers can snap up a free Galaxy Tab A9+, a Galaxy Watch7 and Galaxy Buds3 Pro worth a combined £596 The ultimate deal for Android fans is now available, with shoppers being able to snap up nearly £600 worth of freebies.

In order to get the tablet for free, shoppers must redeem a separate deal from Samsung offers website after their purchase. However, this deal is only available under June 26.

I would not look anywhere else." Another shopper said: "Fast and efficient. Great choice of phones and contracts at the best prices I could find after a comprehensive search of a large number of alternatives. Clear communication, and my phone was delivered on the day and time it was stated by the company. Everything about the experience was good." However, one customer noted a more mixed experience, writing: "Requested my number to be changed which never did and had to phone iD Mobile to put in a new request. The simplest of things so giving three stars. Rest of the service was good." On the flip side, another five-star reviewer said: "Such a simple and super quick process to upgrade to a new phone. Had an issue online but called the call centre and was resolved by a lovely and helpful lady, the new phone arrived the next day. They were cheaper than the network provider themselves."

Brighton is Britain's most travel-obsessed city where locals plan more trips than rest of UK
People in Brighton book flights and travel 14% more than the UK average but resident of major places like London and Manchester haven't even made it into the top three most travel-obsessed cities The UK's most travel -obsessed city, with people booking more trips away than anywhere else in the country, has been revealed. Residents of this location fly away and visit different countries almost a staggering 14% more than the national average. Sun and fun seekers living in Brighton are the most consumed with booking a flight and jetting off for a few days compared to people living in any other part of the UK, including London and Manchester. The seaside city is a huge travel destination in itself and with major festivals and the vibrant art scene drawing people in to visit. Despite this, people who live in Brighton take more holidays, visit more countries and plan more trips than anyone else in the UK. A close second to the seaside city is Reading and Liverpool in third. Most people might expect London to fly high in this holiday list but the capital has only come in tenth on this list, alongside Derby. The research by ID Mobile gives fascinating insights into Britain's love affair with travel. Brits on average have visited seven countries and take two trips out of the country every year. The nation's favourite places to visit are Spain, France and Italy, topping the list. 63% of people revealed the biggest motivators to book a trip abroad was to experience new cultures. This wasn't the only draw people had to travelling as 33% of people said they were going away to tick off a bucket list location and unsurprisingly another common answer was that people were trying to escape the gloomy British weather. Although the people of Brighton book the most trips, Liverpudlians are the country's best travelled people, visiting an average of nine countries each. That's four more than Bradford, which comes bottom of the league table with just four. The countries boldest travellers are from Portsmouth, with 10% of residents taking the most long-haul holidays - to places like Brazil, Japan and Australia. The study of 2,000 adults looked at how often people travel, how many countries they've visited and the number of destinations on their bucket list. It also revealed changing holiday habits, including an ever-growing reliance on mobile data with 79% of Brits admitting they struggle to travel without it - whether it's for things like directions or posting snaps online. Brits looking to get their travels sorted as summer approaches should keep in mind seven travel blunders that holidaymakers do that could result in them being denied entry into a country, The Mirror has previously reported. Damage to a passport, lacking required vaccinations, taking certain medications with you and no proof of onward travel are some of the things that could cause huge issues at borders. The other crucial factors to keep in mind are whether you have run out of blank passport pages, if you have enough money and whether you have a criminal record.
