Senior industry sources reveal that Samsung has overtaken Nokia in the UK’s prepay market. It is ahead by a minor 1%  and is trailing by just half a percent on contract.

The Korean manufacturer has been boosted by a combination of its prepay handsets taking the top three spots in the prepay charts, notably the J700 and E250.

The manufacturer aims to get to the number one spot once it ranges more devices on 3.

Its flagship Tocco device is believed to be selling at around 15,000 per week. One network source said: ‘Tocco is doing well on all networks and they’ve priced it aggressively. We are looking to see what they will do to prices for Christmas.’
