IPhone at Tesco ??

Hi All, brand new on the forum today, came on to ask a question about the IPhone. I saw the comparison table on the MSE, site, that was updated today, re the tarriffs and that Tesco was listed as £320:00 upfront cost and £20:00/month for a 16GB IPhone 3GS, but when I checked it on the Tesco site it is listed as £440:00.
Does anyone know what the difference is, or how to get the £320:00 price?.
Thanks for any and all help,
cheers

  • £440 is the PAYG price, no monthly commitment.

    16 gb 3gs in 12 months contract £20 each month cost £440,i have one from tesco+ £60 allowance each month,if you dont spend it they rroll on next month
    A rule of the universe is, the more you give, the more you get
  • Thanks avelte, i did find something on the tesco site about treble credit (didn't realise it carried over:rotfl:) and free delivery too. There was also something about gettiing and using a tesco credit card to purchase the iphone, with nothing to pay for 12 months, so buy now pay later ( or pay up throughout the 12 month period). I was thinking of the vodaphone 18 month contract for £35/month, but the tesco one looks to be cheaper overall and the buy now pay later deal means i could hang onto my cash for longer :) tamuch

    I'm almost certain that the credit doesn't roll over.

    I guess I'll find out soon. Bought mine today! Whoop Whoop!
