It’s Monday, it’s the 24th, and while that might mean at least another five days until your money rolls in, we’ve been scouring the net for deals you can afford right now.
Last week it was designer mobiles, this week, it’s the mobile phones with genuinely free gifts. None of this “free but you have to sign a 72 month contract and pay us £200 line rental” business, just top quality deals which we suspect companies could even be making a loss on. Check out the bargains on offer after the jump!
Sony Ericsson W880i and mobile internet
Mobile broadband is tempting for many, but the prospect of yet another bill every month is a major offput. The Link has solved that problem though, by giving away a phone with its Icon 225 dongle and 3GB data per month package. For £15 a month, you’ll get plenty of downloads and a Sony Ericsson W880i walkman phone, which ain’t too shabby, not by half.

Samsung Ted Baker Button and a free Nintendo Wii Fit
Most gift deals will lock you into an 18 month contract at around £35 a month, but that £630 you hand over can buy a lot of “free stuff”. This Samsung and Ted Baker collab ought to be on our fashion ‘fone bargain watch page as well, but it bucks the trend by being a genuine bargain. Sign up and you’ll get a Nintendo Wii Fit for £30 a month for just twelve months. Do the maths, and you’ll find that means you’re only paying about £10 every four weeks for your mobile.

Skype phone cheaper than pay as you go
We’re still not sure when 3 plans to put the Facebook phone, the INQ-1, on sale, so if you want to make VOIP calls on the go, this is one of the best offers going. You can pick up the Skypephone S2 for just £15 a month on a six month contract, bagging you oodles of Skype time, 300 cross network minutes and unlimited Three-to-Three calls. That same model on Pay As You Go will set you back £60 for starters, as well as £10 a month in minimum top-ups, saving you at least £30 over half a year.

Sony Ericsson Cybershot K770i and Samsung A456 32 inch HD TV
Everyone likes a free flat screen. It’s a fact. We’ve ploughed through all the deals on offer and this is the best value for money. Get a 770i on a £35 a month contract with Three, and they’ll send you over a 32 inch Samsung LCD gogglebox normally worth £400 in the shops, bringing your monthly phone rental to about £12 a month. OK, so you’ll need to pay £25 for the handset, but after that it’s pure, square-eyed joy!

Scrap your N95, get £100 and an N96
If you already own’s Nokia’s multimedia powerhouse N95, you’ve probably been tempted by the N96, especially with additions like BBC iPlayer. Not sure whether it’s quite worth the trade up? You’ll earn yourself £100 if you trade it in to the Carphone Warehouse. And since the N96 would normally cost £100 up front anyway, if you’re paying £35 a month, there’s absolutely no reason not to switch over.
