vodafone rip off?

i recently got a new htc wildfire on t-mobile for £25 a month - 600mins unltd landlines/unltd texts and 3gb internet but i was amazed at an advert for Vodaphone advertisinjg the same phone for £20 with only 100mins 300 texts and 500mb of internet

My point is why such a difference between both?

surely one of the biggest cons out there in the mobile phone world!

    wheres the con/rip off?
    the price/tariff is as advertised(and you dont list how long the tariffs are for)
    so people make a choice for their preference
