Samsung dishes out free Galaxy tablets worth £259 in huge summer giveaway
The Samsung Galaxy S25 is available with a major freebie as the tech giant kicks off an unmissable summer upgrade deal
The Galaxy Tab A9+ is free with Samsung's summer upgrade deal
Samsung is dishing out free Galaxy tablets to shoppers who upgrade their mobile phones this month. The offer is available through Currys-owned retailer Mobiles.uk, which is also throwing in more freebies to sweeten the deal.
For a limited time, customers ordering a Samsung Galaxy S25 can claim a free Samsung Galaxy Tab A9+ worth £259. The deal is available with a £24.99 per month contract with Three-backed iD Mobile and also includes five times the usual data allowance, offering 500GB for the price of 100GB.
There's a £59 upfront cost on the 24-month plan, but customers can also take advantage of six-months free access to Google One AI Premium, which normally costs £113.94. The retailer hasn't set an end date for the deal, only confirming it's available 'for a limited time' and 'while stocks last'.
Customers can claim their free tablet on the Samsung website after making their purchase. However, the tech giant will only accept claims on purchases made by June 26. The free tablet is also available with orders of the Galaxy S25+ and Galaxy S25 Ultra from Mobiles.co.uk.
iD Mobile is among numerous mobile networks that increase their prices annually in line with inflation, with this plan set to cost £26.49 from April 2026. Even considering the price increases, the total cost of the plan over the 24-month term is £679.76, reports the Mirror.

A third says: "Easy transition from my previous provider on the day I requested. I kept my number using PAC code. Cheaper with better benefits so really happy. App seems good too and gives me the info I need easily."
However, not all experiences were positive, as this three-star reviewer had a mixed experience, saying: "Requested my number to be changed which never did and had to phone iD Mobile to put in a new request. Rest of the service was good."

More than 40 MILLION Brits alerted to switch on forgotten anti-theft mobile feature as phone snatching soars
MILLIONS of mobile users across the UK have been urged to switch on little-known anti-theft settings following a spate of phone snatches. In London alone, two-thirds of thefts now relate to mobile phones, Met Detective Chief Superintendent James Conway told MPs today. 2 Criminal gangs are believed to make £50million a year from stolen phones Credit: PA Police seized more than 1,000 stolen handsets and arrested 230 people in a single week earlier this year in a crackdown on the problem. The Met Police has described it as a colossal £50million-a-year trade. Often, phone thefts have more to do with raiding people's bank accounts than value in the handset itself. A victim recently revealed how they were caught out by crafty crooks who went on to spend hundreds. Tech companies have developed a number of tools to help prevent such incidents. Google has a few for Android users which detect the motion associated with a physical snatch. When a snatch is detected your phone will lock so thieves can't go through all your banking apps and more. Samsung, which uses Android on its phones, alerted more than 40million Samsung Account holders of its anti-theft features. The firm says these features will now also be available to even more devices soon, having started with the launch of the Galaxy S25 series in February. Among Samsung's own added efforts is Theft Protection, a multi-layered suite of features developed to safeguard personal data, even in high-risk situations such as robbery. Google reveals clever trick to prevent thieves from emptying your accounts on the Android 15 "Samsung is deeply committed to working closely with the Home Office on the issue of mobile phone theft and related crimes and we're in constant collaboration with our partners across the industry, to look at new and existing solutions to help combat this complex issue and ultimately help improve the safety of mobile phone users," said Annika Bizon, Mobile Experience (MX) VP of Product and Marketing, UK&I at Samsung. "Our recent One UI 7 update built further on existing protections with new anti-theft features such as identity check, biometric authentication and security delay, all featured in our latest Galaxy S25 series. "These features have now also been rolled out into a range of models across our devices and further updates will follow. "We must do everything we can to ensure the safety and security of our customers when they are using their mobile devices and we will continue to work hard to ensure our customers are aware of the wide range of security features available to them."

WhatsApp will no longer be available on these phones - is yours on the list?
As of June 1, the popular messaging app stopped working on certain smartphones. Whatsapp is a popular messaging service used by millions of people in the UK. Whether it's to message your pals about a catch up or to talk to colleagues about work, WhatsApp has quickly become many peoples go to messaging service. However, as of June 1, the popular app no longer works on phones that are more than 10-years-old. This is due to changes in WhatApp's compatibility with operating systems. As a result, older smartphones will no longer have access to the app due to security concerns. The major change was set to take place in May but was pushed back to June. Now iPhones that were released in 2014 or earlier and cannot upgrade to iOS 15.1 will no longer be able to use the app, reports the Liverpool Echo. In terms of Android devices, the minimum requirement is Android OS 5.0, which was released way back in 2014 - over 11 years ago. However, users weren't surprised that the app was disappearing, as WhatsApp sent notifications warning its users that they need to "update to the latest version of iOS to continue using WhatsApp." This was sent to users who are running anything older than iOS 15.1 on their iPhones. In terms of Apple smartphones, those using an iPhone 5s, iPhone 6 or an iPhone 6 Plus will no longer be able to message through the Meta app. This is due to the devices not being compatible with iOS 18. For Android, phones like Samsung's Galaxy S III, the HTC One X, and the Sony Xperia Z will no longer be able to use WhatsApp. According to 9to5Mac, Meta has revealed on its FAQ page that the reason behind the decision to remove support of this app on older phones is because they do not have the latest updates or functionality required to run WhatsApp. Even Apple has disregarded these older models as over a year ago the tech brand declared that the iPhone 6 was "obsolete". This means that the company no longer repairs or services the device, and third-party service providers can no longer order parts for the product. While WhatsApp may have disappeared off legacy phones, the messaging service is becoming a more impressive service for those who still have access. In April of this year, the app announced that it was gaining 12 new features for users to enjoy. WhatsApp is currently one of the worlds most used messaging apps as over two billion people worldwide are active users of the service. On their blog, WhatsApp said: "To keep you in the loop, we'll be sharing regular roundups of the latest updates, tools, and settings." This roundup included the new features that have been recently rolled out, but shoppers may not be aware of. This includes: Chats Online indicator in group chats: To help you know if people are around to chat, you can now see how many people are 'online' in real-time, right under the group name. Highlight notifications in groups: You can use the new 'Notify for' setting and select 'Highlights' to limit notifications for @mentions, replies, and messages from saved contacts or 'All' to receive all notifications. Events updates: You can now create an event in a 1:1 conversation. WhatsApp has also added the ability to RSVP as 'maybe,' invite a plus one, add end date and time for longer events, and pin the event in a chat. Tappable reactions: Now you can quickly view everyone else's reactions and tap the one you want to send. Document scanning on iPhone: Scan and send documents directly from WhatsApp on iPhone. Select 'Scan document' from the attachment section and follow the steps to scan, crop, and save the document. Default App for iPhone: With the latest iOS update, you can now also set WhatsApp as your default messaging and calling app on your iPhone. To make the switch, go to Settings > Default Apps and select WhatsApp. Calls Pinch to zoom in video calls: iPhone users can now pinch to zoom in on a video while on a video call to get a closer look at your own or peer video. Add to call from a chat: Add someone to an ongoing call directly from a chat thread by tapping the call icon on the top and selecting 'Add to call'. Enjoy smoother video calls: Work has been done to reduce dropped calls and video freezing. Improved bandwidth detection can quickly upgrade your video to HD quality for a more enjoyable experience. Updates Video notes for Channels: Similar to chats, Channel admins can now instantly record and share short videos (60 seconds or less) with followers. Voice message transcripts on Channels: You can now get a written summary of voice message updates from channels when you're on the go and can't listen to them.
