Phone networks like EE, Vodafone and Giffgaff are jumping on the Black Friday bandwagon with a heap of savings you can take advantage of.

Along with deals on phone bundles, there are also SIM-only deals that mean you can get an even better deal if you want to hang on to your old device.

It some cases, it can work out much cheaper to buy a device outright and equip it with a new SIM card than try and bundle the two together.

In fact, to really get into the spirit of Black Friday 2019, there's also some bonus bundles that throw in things like games consoles or tablets. So if you've suddenly got the urge to pick up an extra PS4, this could be the moment to do so.

We've had a look around at some of the best deals and saved you time by listing them here. Remember to check back as well because we'll be sure to update this page with any new deals that come along in the meantime.
