From all the listed deal we're liking Carphone Warehouse's £36 per month offer that comes with a meaty amount of 11GB data and unlimited calls and texts - or if you're after the all-you-can eat data option, there the deal from Three but comes in at quite a pricey £56 per month.

For those who want to go contract free the Galaxy S7 is being offered SIM-free for £549.99 at Mobile Phones Direct.
