because its a big outlay to just buy a £5 or 600 phone outright. most people cant afford that even though its a better option

I still cannot get my head round why people do not buy them outright and get a simple sim contract, I can,t even see it with heavy users who pay high amounts but get a big reduction, I am sure if you got an unlimited minutes high data etc sim only contract that the difference over a 24 month period most seem to be would cover the phone

because they dont want to or cant pay the lump sum upfront
the best deals as far as i can see are where you pay a decent amount up front
the likes of Tescos 12 month deals are decent with a middle of the road initial outlay

Please tell me that is a wind up, if not I feel sorry for T mobile users.

I feel sorry for me too. Can't imagine it would be a wind-up. I don't really understand the price point differences between themselves and Orange. It's almost like they don't want to sell it!

My contract is up on Orange next month, so i'm hoping they have had some more deliveries in. I was going to go with Orange but i think i might move over to 3 now, they are some decent deals on there site

thanks a lot i found it.
god i dont know what to do now
i am on the flext tariff which is £40 a month and free weekend calls.
do you think i would be able to keep the tariff at a much lower price? i usually spend around £80-90 a month with t mobile and then get an iphone outright>
how much would they discount the tariff for loyalty

Interesting comments. As some one who can afford the upfront cost, what should I be looking at, 02 Simplicity? Tinternet gb is the important thing for me. I thought there was a size issue with the sim right now.

I use very little so I didn't bother getting the sim before 24th June when they changed the limit. Since 10th June only used just over 100mb.
