Best Chromecast Deals
Vodafone: £5 off with a Red 4G plan and six months Netflix
The Netflix offer should be of particular interest, as it’s a Chromecast-compatible service. You’ll be able to get six months of free Netflix which you can either watch on your phone or effortlessly stream to your TV.
Netflix normally costs £5.99/month, so this deal sees you saving a total of £40.94 – almost £12 more than the standard asking price of a Chromecast.
There’s currently no end date for Vodafone’s Chromecast promotion, but the offer of free Netflix is set to expire in December 2014.
