Affordable Mobiles referral code

Heads up: Affordable Mobiles has paused its refer-a-friend scheme. We'll restore the link as soon as it reopens.

While it ran, the scheme paid the person sharing the link £40 for an upgrade, £30 for a new handset, £15 for SIM only, £5 for a handset alone and £120 on one featured Samsung Galaxy A34 deal, confirmed after about eight weeks and paid through Aklamio, a referral platform. It named no reward for the buyer. As of May 2026 the scheme is paused (confirmed at affordablemobiles.aklamio.com (opens in new tab), which still shows that table under the pause notice). The brand still operates normally; only the referral programme is on hold.

Affordable Mobiles referral pros and cons

Pros

  • Paid the person sharing a referral link £5 to £40 a deal before the scheme paused
  • Competitive phone contract prices: often cheaper than going direct
  • Deals across O2, Three, Vodafone and Talkmobile
  • Free next-day delivery on most orders
  • Strong Trustpilot score of 4.1 with thousands of positive reviews
  • Regular sales and exclusive online discounts

Cons

  • You are entering a phone contract (typically 24 months), not buying outright
  • The referral named no reward for the buyer, only for the person sharing the link
  • Contract is with the network, not Affordable Mobiles. Aftercare is via the network
  • Deals change frequently so the best offers may not always be available

What is Affordable Mobiles?

Affordable Mobiles is a UK phone retailer selling contracts on O2, Three, Vodafone and Talkmobile, often cheaper than going direct. Free next-day delivery. Operating for over a decade with thousands of positive reviews.

It is an authorised reseller, so the contracts themselves are the networks' own and the monthly price is the network's price. What differs is the upfront cost and any cashback attached to the deal. The reviews sit on Trustpilot (opens in new tab).

How does the Affordable Mobiles referral scheme work?

The scheme has been paused since May 2026. While it ran, it paid the person sharing the link £5 to £40 by deal type when a friend bought through it, and named no reward for the buyer.

The two mobile referrals on this site still paying are giffgaff refer a friend, which pays account credit as soon as you activate the SIM, and VOXI refer a friend, which pays a gift card after your second monthly payment.

Who is Affordable Mobiles best for?

Best for anyone buying a new phone contract who wants to compare deals across all UK networks in one place. Particularly useful for upgrades where you want a lower upfront cost than going direct to the network.

It is a comparison site with its own checkout, which is why the case holds equally for a first contract and an upgrade. That price comparison is the whole of the case for using it.

How Affordable Mobiles compares to buying direct

Same monthly contract cost as going direct, but with lower upfront prices or cashback. Well reviewed on Trustpilot compared to competing retailers. Your contract is with the network (O2, Vodafone, etc.); Affordable Mobiles is the retailer only.

  • Upfront cost: often lower here, and sometimes with free accessories attached
  • vs Carphone Warehouse: now closed in-store, which is what left the independents carrying this end of the market
  • vs Mobiles.co.uk / Fonehouse: competitive on price and well reviewed on Trustpilot (opens in new tab)

Important: all billing and support runs through the network after activation, not through Affordable Mobiles.
