iD Mobile deal offers flip phone from beloved Noughties brand with FREE earbuds and smartwatch this May
FLIP phones have made a massive comeback, and Mobiles.co.uk is offering a gem of a deal on mid-range device.
It comes from a half-forgotten brand from yesterday, and better still, it comes with a free smartwatch and earbuds.
Motorola Razr 60 Ultra, £34.99p/m with
FREE earbuds and smartwatch
Remember when Motorola ruled the mobile world in the early Noughties with its iconic flip phones?
Those glory days might have passed, but the brand continues to deliver reliable smartphones that offer great value for money.
The Sun's Tech Editor Sean Keach covered the launch of the Razr 60 Ultra last month - it's now hit the market with this impressive giveaway.
The Razr 60 Ultra is available to buy on the iD Mobile network and it comes with not one, but two freebies.
You can grab this folding mobile along with a pair of Moto Buds Loop earbuds and a Moto Watch Fit smartwatch for £34.99 a month.
There's an upfront cost of £99, but if you'd rather pay less upfront, you can spend £38.99 a month and drop the upfront cost to just £9.
The plan includes 100GB of data.
The Razr 60 Ultra is a modern spin on the classic flip phone, with some serious tech packed in.
Open it up, and you'll get a bright 7-inch 165Hz pOLED screen (it's basically a plastic, less fancy version of the glass OLED screens you'll see on premium phones).
There's also a handy 4-inch external screen for quick glances at notifications and messages.
Photography fans will love the 50MP triple-lens camera, which uses AI to capture ultra-wide and macro shots.
It's powered by the speedy Snapdragon 8 Elite processor, and with TurboPower charging, you'll get 12 hours of juice from just 8 minutes of charging.
And let's not forget those giveaways, either.
The Moto Watch Fit looks like a pretty solid wearable that will tracks workouts, sleep, and comes with 100 sports mode.
With built-in GPS, it will also tracking your runs or bike rides - even when you're offline.
The Moto Buds Loop earbuds, meanwhile, deliver sound that's built by the manufacturer Bose.
Needless to say, this trio of devices will all work seamlessly together, given they're all part of the same Moto ecosystem.
If you fancy a flip phone packed with modern features and some free gadgets thrown in, head to Mobiles.co.uk.

Salman Rushdie says he's ‘over' vicious knife attack
Salman Rushdie believes authors should worry about AI when it can write funny books, stating AI currently lacks a sense of humor. Speaking at the Hay Festival, Rushdie admitted he has never tried using AI and prefers to ignore its existence. The event marked Rushdie's most high-profile UK appearance since the 2022 on-stage stabbing in the US, with heightened security measures in place. Rushdie mentioned it was important for him and his wife to revisit the site of the attack, and he expressed being "over" the incident. Rushdie has faced threats since the 1988 publication of ' The Satanic Verses,' which led to a fatwa calling for his execution by Iran's Ayatollah Khomeini.

Reform launches Elon Musk-style council 'DOGE' drive with the help of a mystery business mogul… as Nigel Farage eyes win in Scottish by-election
Reform UK says it will send in its first Elon Musk-style Department of Government Efficiency (Doge) unit to look at 'wasteful spending' in councils. A team of software engineers, data analysts and forensic auditors will 'visit and analyse' local authorities it controls, starting today with Kent County Council. It follows the US Doge, which was launched during Donald Trump 's presidency with the Tesla billionaire in charge to cut federal spending. Reform says its UK version will be led by a yet-unnamed man described as one of the country's 'leading tech entrepreneurs with a specialism in data analytics who has also been a turnaround CEO'. However its previous efforts to root out what it sees as unnecessary spending by authorities it controls have so far struggled to make any impact. New Greater Lincolnshire mayor Andrea Jenkyns vowed to remove diversity officers from the county council, which later confirmed it did not employ any. And a recent claim by party chairman Zia Yusuf that the party would scrap low traffic neighbourhoods in the 10 council areas it controls was undone when it was found that there were none. It comes as Nigel Farage visits Scotland to press the party's hopes of winning its first seat in the Scottish Parliament. Mr Farage will give a press conference in Aberdeen on Monday as the race in the Hamilton, Larkhall and Stonehouse by-election enters its final days. While the SNP and Labour were seen as frontrunners in the seat in a contest sparked by Scottish Government minister Christina McKelvie, Reform UK has entered the mix ahead of the vote. But the party has come in for criticism for how it has campaigned in the seat, with attack ads on Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar being branded racist. Both of the frontrunners have also turned their attacks on Reform, with Mr Sarwar describing Mr Farage as a 'poisonous little man' and the First Minister accusing him of bringing 'racism and hatred' to the South Lanarkshire race. Further south in England, the party said that the unit being sent to Kent will use artificial intelligence, advanced data analysis tools and forensic auditing techniques to 'identify wasteful spending and recommend actionable solutions'. Reform took control of the authority in May and leader Linden Kemkaran has already ordered the Ukrainian flag be removed from the council chamber. A letter sent to the council read: 'The scope of the review includes but is not limited to: Contractual arrangements with suppliers and consultants, all capital expenditure, use of framework agreements and direct awards, any off-book or contingent liabilities, use of reserves and financial resilience, any audit flags raised by internal or external auditors in the last three years. 'We request that all relevant council officers provide the Doge team with full and prompt access to: Council-held documents, reports and records (electronic and paper), relevant finance, procurement, audit and contract data, meeting minutes and correspondence concerning major procurements, any internal investigations or whistleblowing reports relevant to financial matters, any additional documents that might be of assistance.' It added: 'Should you resist this request, we are ready to pass a council motion to compel the same and will consider any obstruction of our councillors' duties to be gross misconduct. We trust this will not be required.' It is signed by Mrs Kemkaran, party chairman Zia Yusuf and Mr Farage. A Kent County Council spokesman declined to comment.

Monzo Reports 8x Surge in Profits to £113.9 Million on the Back of Record Growth
Monzo, the UK's leading digital bank with more than 12 million customers, has today shared its financial results for the year ending March 31 2025. Monzo has again delivered record growth and sustainable profitability as it continues to see momentum accelerate. Recently crowned Best British Bank, the company attracted 2.4 million new customers in its last financial year and saw engagement and weekly active rates continue to increase further – with 67% of customer growth coming from word-of-mouth referrals. Revenues increased significantly across all areas – including lending, transactions and subscriptions – propelling Monzo's adjusted profit before tax to £113.9m, up from £13.9m. Customer deposits grew 48% to £16.6bn, with the number of weekly active users increasing 28% as Monzo added a record number of new products and features to help customers manage more of their financial lives. Average Revenues per User grew 16% for business customers and 15% for personal customers, underscoring the deeper relationships Monzo is building with its customer base. The financial year saw Monzo scale and invest with discipline as it made further strides on its ambition to become the one app customers turn to to manage their entire financial lives. The company welcomed a new generation of customers through its hugely successful Under 16s product, which saw a 180,000-strong waitlist in its first week alone, and launched Monzo Pension. Its new subscription plans – Monzo Perks, Extra and Max – were a huge success with almost 900,000 personal customers now paying for extra benefits. Monzo Business accelerated at pace on the back of the launch of Monzo Team, a product that serves more complex needs for larger small businesses. Together, these new products contributed to an increase in subscriptions income of 50% to £75.2m. The total number of business customers grew by 49% to reach 625,000, with Monzo Business making up 12% of total revenue. The company brought more game-changing savings features to the palms of customers' hands – with the 1p Saving Challenge, launched in January, attracting more than 1 million customers who have collectively saved around £30m so far. With 2.3 million people using Monzo's Instant Access Savings product, the company paid more than £250 million in interest to customers in the last financial year. Leveraging its in-house tech stack, Monzo continues to develop industry-first security tools for its customers. FY2025 saw the business launch a trio of unique security features including Known Locations and Trusted Contacts, to help prevent customers from falling victim to fraud. In addition, and led by its expert financial crime teams, Monzo's real-time fraud detection and prevention system is using AI to trigger a range of interventions. In FY2025 Monzo prevented 2.9 times the value of unauthorised fraud compared to the previous year. Engineers also pioneered Monzo Stand-In, a separate back-up banking infrastructure that ensures customers can continue to use important services in the rare event of an outage. In an industry where platform outages continue to cause mass disruption and worry for customers, Monzo invested in a solution for its customers, giving them the service they deserve from their bank. Monzo maintains a market-leading average Net Promoter Score of +70 – in an industry where the average is around 30 in the UK. The most recent YouGov Brand Index showed that Monzo is out-pacing the rest of the banking industry on metrics including consideration, recommendation, and satisfaction. Two months into the new financial year, Monzo continues to bring new products to customers with the launch of Contents Insurance and Undo Payments – another industry-first tool to help customers have more control over their money. Growth has continued to accelerate, with the company attracting more than 300,000 new customers in April alone – making it its biggest acquisition month yet. In May, Monzo was named Best British Bank, Best Banking App and Best Children's Financial Provider at the British Bank Awards – which is voted for by customers. Looking ahead, Monzo is accelerating its international ambitions. The business is continuing to build out its product offering in the US, and has established its European base with an office and a growing leadership team in Ireland. In the UK, product expansion continues at pace, with additional features across personal and business accounts soon to be announced. TS Anil, Group CEO of Monzo, said,:'Another year of raising the bar and driving scale, growth and profitability! 2.4 million customers chose Monzo, we launched more products than ever, increased customer engagement – and saw record growth for Monzo Business. By bringing the best of technology and banking together and remaining customer-obsessed, we're seeing accelerating growth and momentum and unprecedented customer love – with Monzo recently named Best British Bank. And the best part? We're still just getting started. '
