Some of the launch deals are even better than O2’s own offers, including an HTC One M8 on a £28 per month two-year contract, with unlimited minutes, unlimited texts, 1GB of data and no up-front cost.

Xavier Garambois, Vice President of EU Retail at Amazon, said “We’ve taken our years of experience selling mobile phones on Amazon.co.uk to make it as fast and easy as possible for customers to purchase a new pay monthly phone or upgrade an existing contract. We’re focused on helping customers choose the right phone, at the right price, with fast delivery and are celebrating the launch with a host of great value deals.”

The company is continuing to sell SIM-free handsets as well.
