My daughter wants the ipod touch and has a contract with blackberry just started in July but I thought I can get the contract as my iphone 3g is pay as you go £15/month I am sure she can get an iphone for a small price more than the ipod touch but Tesco are oos, happy to pay £250 and a smallish contract and length 12 months maybe

Sorry if this has been mentioned before
I'm on a orange contract including 500mg data per month
Can I buy a sim free Iphone 4 and cut down my sim and start using it OR do I have to change tariffs/let Orange know?
Also is there anywhere where a sim free iphone 4 (16GB)is available for less than £499- acc to both Quidco and TopCashback the Iphone4 is EXCLUDED from the 3% cash back

Hi, apologies if this has been discussed elsewhere.
I am looking at the 16GB iphone 4 on a Tesco Mobile 12 month contract.
At the end of the 12 months when I'm out of contract, can I buy a sim-free plan from any provider (vodafone, o2), or will I have to choose only Tesco Mobile sim free plans? Thanks in advance.

the only problem being that Tesco dont currently offer the iPhone 4. I have been waiting for them myself as o2 are awful IMO. :mad:

No problem using your existing sim.

Hello,

Havent seen it mentioned on here, but until Sunday, Quidco are giving £120 cashback on any iphone Contract.
I phoned O2 y/day, as my contract is up. Currently paying £25 a month, but only use around 100mins a month. They offered me an iphone 4 16gb for £30 a month for 2 yrs, 300 mins and to pay £199 for the phone.

Just looked up exactly the same details on the vodafone line through Quidco and the phone is only (only!) £169, so £30 cheaper plus the £120 cashback, which would nearly pay for the phone!

So much for wanting to keep me as an O2 customer!

Yes I'm the same, they told me a new iPhone4 32gig would be £239 plus £35 a month for a 600 mins contract. On Mobile.co.uk the phone is £199 then the cashback. Again so much for wanting my custom

O2 are expensive and offer poor service. much better deals out there.

TBH I've found them really good. I'm happy to stay with them but have put myself on a rolling contract with only 1 months notice. Will wait till the cash flow is better, ie after Xmas, before I upgrade

Where's the cheapest option to buy a sim free 3g 8gb iphone? I'm in Northern Ireland so can buy locally or online. Thanks

Unfortunately the 3G is long discontinued. You might be able to get a sim free 8GB 3GS from Apple (though I'm unsure if they offer the 3GS as sim free, I think it only became an option with the 4).

You might be able to get a mint 3G from somewhere like CEX (only problem with buying this way is you don't know if it's genuine sim free or just software unlocked).
