For a long while now, the zero cost contract mobile phone landscape has
been a little stale, involving largely the same set of handsets coupled
with various networks and tariffs. Well, it looks like everything's
about to change (and about time too!) as Phonebox Direct and Cool New
Mobile launch the first salvo by releasing a whole new wave of zero cost
deals on Vodafone with a wide range of mid- & high-end handsets never
before seen at this price-point. This is by far the largest release of
new handsets onto the zero cost scene in over 6 months.

If my gut instinct is right, this is bound to be followed by similar
zero cost offers from other retailers, possibly on networks other than
Vodafone, so watch this space.

All of the following deals are on Vodafone's 12 months Anytime 500 + 250
texts tariff (500 minutes & 250 texts for £35 per month) and the
cashback is claimable in 5 parts after 4, 6, 8, 10 & 12 months.

The new handsets on offer fall into one of two camps:

(1) those handsets that have never before been available at zero cost on
any network. I shall label these as NEW TO ALL NETWORKS.

(2) those handsets that have been available at zero cost before on other
networks but not yet on Vodafone. I shall label these as NEW TO VODAFONE.
