Cheapest place to buy a new iphone

Options
Hi

I would like to buy an iphone, but I would like some advice here on where is the cheapest place to buy a new one?

If I bought one on ebay, what do I need to look for (I have a PAYG Vodafone sim just now), is it enough for a phone to be unlocked, and all I do is put my sim in it?

Thanks in advance for your help.

    It depends on minutes etc but...

    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! has a reasonable deal on Orange, £35 a month with the phone costing £70, and £100 cash back through Quidco.

    I'd personally prefer to pay full price through Apple than buy off of Ebay if purchasing one, then just get the cheapest sim only deal that matches your requirements.
  • Yep I bought Iphone 4 from apple £510.

    Then sold Itouch 2nd Gen and Blackberry 8900 on Ebay for £160 total.

    Got a Sim Only 30 day deal with Virgin £15/month - 500min xnet, Unlimted txt, 1 GB data. Plus i get 15% NUS discount per month.

    And said Goodbye to 18month & 24month Contracts!!

    Used to be with Orange with Blackberry 8900 (cost me £90 for phone) 200 xnet mins, 300 txt, 500MB data, Unlimted Blackberry Plan. £27/month on 18month contract.
