Make sure you opt out of the Gadget Show reply texts as they cost as well

That's really helpful, thanks a lot.
Is that top up for PAYG inclusive of VAT?
I should have been clearer as I was thinking of the £20 contract - does that include VAT.

Hi, I'd like to get an iPhone and...

My three contract is just about up, I got my current phone in August 2008 with three, 1100 minutes or texts for £34 a month. The phone, a Nokia that was then state of the art with sat nav and a 2megapixel camera.

My partner has O2 simplicity 20 which is £20 a month for 600 minutes and 600 texts. It includes unlimited o2 to o2 and can be ended at a month's notice. Most of the free minutes my partner has is used on phoning me and she oftern

We used my partner's o2 contract to get the £5 a month discount on o2 broadband before christmas.

I've checked the comparison sites and it's not clear what the best deal is for us. It would be beneficial to have an unlimited number of calls to each other and preferably on o2 as we'll keep our broadband discount. However, we are willing to consider other networks if the saving outweighs the £5 a month saving on the broadband.

To complicate it further, I would like to have an iPhone but the impression the cheapest iPhone article gives me is it would still be prohibitively expensive. I want to be paying noticably less that £34 a month for my phone and I would like my partner to have more minutes to call her friends with.

What is the best deal in your opinion?

Ta,

Ask them for a new one! I got new 32gb 3gs, £35/month, 18 months contract for free.

snowjoe

yeah its o2. i did ask for a new one. they said that at the moment there is nothing they can do on a new one because ive been on a cheap contract the last 18 months. it might change in Feb, it might change it I ring someone else on another day too!

might see if i could get a reboxed 32gb one...

IBTP if you don't mind me asking but what was your previous contract before you upgraded to iphone? mine was a £25 a month reduced to £20.
