    Hi

    My contract ends this month and I called three to tell them i'm leaving because I want an Iphone they told me they could offer me one for being a loyal customer. They offered:
    600 mins
    Unlimited texts
    Unlimited Internet
    Pay £50.00 for phone
    24 month
    £35.00 a month

    Is this a good offer from three has anybody got better from them? My initial thoughts are that I dont need unlimited texts and being tired up for 24 months is not great would Tesco be a better deal? Can you really haggle when its an Iphone and when 3 dont offically stock them?

    Help would be greatly appreciated.

    Is this for 3GS?
    Not really a deal to shout home about. If it is free phone then it is a good deal.

    No - hang fire for a bit. The new iPhone will be out shortly - and if you're not into the latest tech - that's fine. But people like myself on the #G version (which I got in 2008) I'm out of contract and headings to upgrade it.

    I think for a few people the 3G S just wasn't worth the hassle (relatively speaking minor updates). So there should be a raft of good 3G / 3GS deals to be had even..

    Good Luck!

    Bear in mind the iPhone 3G is more than likely to be axed come June and the 3GS then reduced in price so what might seem a great deal now might not be come a few weeks time.

    Prepare for mega bargains on the 3G/3GS everyone. Deals and markdowns are already happening in the states- shouldn't be too long until they're here too.
