I know it isn't PAYG but O2 simplicity for iphone charges £15pm for 300mins, unlimited texts, unlimited (500mb!) internet on a 12 month. However there is £100 cashback through quidco, topcashback etc which would make it less than £7 a month.

Maybe not what you want at all but thought I'd throw it out there!!

Thanks that sounds interesting. Isn't the internet a bolt on at £5 per month, though? So £20 per month?

I pay £15 a month to run my i-phone, the £15 gets me unlimited txts & phone calls to any 02 customer and £7.50 of that gets me unlimited internet & wifi for the whole month!

I think it looks like the iphone tariff includes the internet bolt on

How much is 500MB of data? I don't understand internet usage! Just for checking facebook and hotmail etc, is it loads?

Just to clear things up about Giffgaff.
If you buy just airtime credit, you get free internet max useage 100mb per day until october.Afterwards you will be charged 50p per day(up to 30mb of data,then 20p per gb if you exceed this)

On the other hand, if you buy a goodybag either with credit/debit card or from your airtime balance you get (among free mins, texts)unlimited internet for 30 days(no caps or fair use policy).This will continue to be the case even after October.You just have remember to buy a new goodybag every 30 days to continue with the unlimited internet.

Hope this helps......Neil

I've just signed up for the 12 month Simplicity for iphone with the £100 cashback via TCB. Runs nicely on from the last time I did it. Effectively £11.50/month

Hi

I take it 315 a month, does that include internet usage?

When do you get the £100 at the start or end on the contract?
Do you have to claim it?
Is it paid in the form of a cheque?

I got my last £100 in my TCB account after about 6 weeks. Then transferred it straight into my bank.
I'm not sure about the 315 a month (?) above. data is unlimited until 1.11.10 then it becomes capped at 500mb/month. An additional 500mb is £5 but having monitored my usage recently, I'm not going to exceed 500mb/month.

******* UPDATE *******

This must have been VERY popular, TCB are pulling the deal at MIDNIGHT tonight.

mrbrightside842,
did you manage to bag the deal via TCB?

Hi! Thanks for bumping this for me as I hadn't seen the posts. What's TCB? I used Quidco, so would have used that. I was waiting for the ipohone to come through (I've won it) to check it was unlocked etc before jumping in to a 12 month contract, but it hasn't arrived yet.
