Sky is giving away a free Samsung tablet worth £259 - what to do to get yours
Here's how to claim the tech deal
Fancy a brand-new tablet without shelling out a single penny? Well, that's precisely what Sky is offering at the moment.
The UK mobile network is gifting customers a feature-rich Galaxy Tab A9+, valued at £259, absolutely free. It's a striking offer, particularly given that the Galaxy A9+ boasts an 11-inch screen packed with pixels, Dolby Atmos audio, 128GB of storage, and a high-speed processor.
You might be pondering what the catch is. Obviously, Sky isn't just handing out these devices without expecting something in return.
To claim, all you need to do is purchase a Galaxy S25 smartphone on contract, and you'll receive the Tab A9+ as a bonus. Sky Mobile prices for this top-tier phone start from a mere £36 per month, which includes unlimited calls, texts and 3GB of data.
This is based on a 36-month contract, although you can switch the phone after just two years, reports the Express.
Sky isn't the only retailer offering this free tablet deal, with also getting in on the action. This service offers the S25 for just £24.99 per month (£29 upfront fee) and only requires a 24-month sign up.
If you simply want to buy the phone SIM free, you can head directly to Samsung's website. The Korean tech giant is not only giving away the Tab A9+ with its S25 but also offering massive discounts when you trade in an older phone.
In fact, there's a guaranteed £200 off when you hand over any phone in any condition. You could get your hands on this flagship device for a mere £599 and still bag that tablet.
If you're more of an Apple fan, then Argos is currently selling the 2022 iPad for £269 - its lowest price ever. It features an A14 Bionic processor and 64GB of internal memory.
Just to jog your memory, the Galaxy S25 is Samsung's latest phone. It boasts a 6.2-inch screen, speedy Snapdragon processor, triple lens camera and full access to Galaxy AI.
This clever feature can rewrite emails, edit photos, organise inboxes and search the web just by circling an image on the screen. Want more details?
This freebie deal is certainly tempting, but there's one thing you should be mindful of; Samsung is also about to unveil a slimmed-down version of this phone called the S25 Edge.
Tech deal of the week
Looking to bag a pair of wireless headphones, but don't want to pay out for Apple's AirPods?
Then look no further than Amazon, as the online giant has a selection of budget-friendly options that are said to deliver on quality. One such pair are the Donerton Wireless Earbuds.
Priced at just £18.99, these earbuds use 2025 Bluetooth 5.4 to seamlessly connect to any device, while the 13mm speakers deliver "crystal clear" and "vivid" sound quality that is said to be on par with pricier brands.
Using ENC noise cancellation technology and featuring four built-in microphones, they are ideal for taking phone calls when out and about, alongside listening to music, podcasts and audiobooks without interruption.
The ergonomic design is suitable for everyone, with three silicone shaped tips available to provide a secure and long-lasting fit. As they are IP7 waterproof, they are prevented from any damage caused by sweat and raindrops.
Meanwhile, the wireless charging case displays the remaining power of each earbud using dual LED technology and can provide up to 40-hours of playback, with a single fast 1.5-hour charge offering up to eight hours alone.
Averaging a 4.4 rating on Amazon based on over 18,000 reviews, they have been compared to Apple and Samsung by tech fans who have praised them as "far superior" and "brilliant."
One such review read: "These EarPods are brilliant ! The sound is great & everything you would expect from apple but so much cheaper. I've had apple EarPods from apple, these are on par. Highly recommended."
This device sports a sleek design but packs the same punch under its bonnet. It also features a 6.7-inch display, dual-lens camera and that same Galaxy AI built in.
Of course, if you want to buy a newer tablet and skip the phone, shoppers can get the Galaxy S10 FE for £100 less on the Samsung website. This brings the 10.9 inch model's price down to £499.99.
