Galaxy A16 4G on every network
The cheapest 24-month deal on each network, sorted by the true total — the headline total plus the April rises the network has announced.
| Network | Monthly | Upfront | 24-month total | April rises (est.) | True total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| £9.99 | £5 | £287.96 | +£43.20 | £287.96 | View |
 | £14 | £9 | £405 | +£60 | £405 | View |
Rises use each network’s announced amount in pounds (Tesco Mobile about 6%). Sky Mobile’s rise isn’t fixed in the contract, so it isn’t included.

Our take on the Galaxy A16 4G
The cheapest way to get the Galaxy A16 4G on contract today is on iD Mobile: £5 upfront and £9.99 a month with 25GB of data, £287.96 over 24 months. At the other end of our table, Vodafone’s best deal works out £117.04 dearer once rises are counted — the same phone, so the network choice alone is worth that much.
iD Mobile adds £1.80 a month every April, so a contract started now costs about £43.20 more than the headline figure: £287.96 in all. Networks without an annual rise are worth a look if the gap is small.
Buying the Galaxy A16 4G SIM-free costs from £139. Pair it with a SMARTY 30-day SIM at £6 a month and two years cost £283, £4.96 less than the cheapest contract. If you can pay upfront, that is the cheaper route — and you can change SIM any month.
The Galaxy A16 4G has a 6.7-inch screen, a 5,000 mAh battery, a weight of 200 g. It is on sale with 128GB of storage in 2 colours. It was released in October 2024.
