Seems a good deal, although I assume a new model maybe out later this year, therefore making this two versions old.

100 mins, 500 texts, 500mb download Free phone £21.50 a month

    Hi All

    [SIZE=+0]My contract was coming to an end & I wanted the Iphone 4 -so I just upgraded my Vodaphone via [/SIZE]Mobile.co.uk via Quidco

    £35 per month tariff got me Free phone with 600 mins, Unlimited texts & 500 mb

    If I have read the deal correctly, I will get £120 cash back (though currently tracking at £35) & if I sell my phone back to Vodaphone, that's an additional £49

    All the above make it £28 quid a month, just £5 more than my current tariff .

    Now, the bizarre thing - just before I took this offer, Vodaphone rang me asking if they could keep me as a customer - I told them the above deal (not saying it was still via themselves) - to be offered a £29 phone & the same tariff but no cashback.

    Got me questioning how Mobiles.co.uk could offer such a deal - but there you go - hope it helps someone!

    The o2 deal is actually £27.50 per month as the 500mb add on is £6.

    I thought that at first, but it does actually include the 500mb for £6. You can opt for 100mb at £3 (£18.50 pm in total) but that might be tight on download allowance.

    It's definitely £21.50 including the 500Mb, and it's also available on the iPhone 4.

    I took the £15.50 option - handset still free - and popped my old sim card in it for full benefits :)

    It seems to force you to have one data bolt on - £3 or above

    Was that an O2 Sim?

    Phones4U are doing the same O2 deal, but you can also get £60 Quidco :beer:

    Phones4U link here, but you need to go via Quidco site to track

    If you're happy with the iPhone 3GS on it's current version of iOS, then fair do's, but Apple have already stated that it won't be supported for iOS 5.0 due out this Autumn. That version will only be supported on iPhone 4 and up.
    Why pay more than you have to?
