NEW THREAD: Cheapest iPhones article

gocky

I'm looking to buy sim free iphone4....2 of them! Cheapest is on mobilephonesdirect.com at 379.00 including postage. Sim free. Anyone know how reliable this site is, as I think it is a little too cheap and am wary now of buying them!

Sim free iphone 4 is available direct from Apple store for £319 so no thats not a good deal and you can get it cheaper from a more reputable website

Hi,
My wife's Iphone 3gs has stopped working, it's a few years old anyway so needs to be replaced. (Will be selling as broken on ebay or to a recycling site). She isn't bothered about the 5 or 4s but has decided on a 4 as obviously prices shouldn't be too bad. We'd rather not pay out a large amount initially (would be looking at £200-ish on ebay) so the best contract I have found on Uswitch is; free Iphone 4 8gb on 02, unlimited texts, 500mb data & 50 minutes for £21.50 per month.
Just wondered if anyone had seen any better offers for Iphone 4 before we go ahead and sign up? We both previously bought our handsets outright and went with Giffgaff £10 per month (which is what I'm still on) but a contract may be better for us right now to save the initial £200+ outlay.
Cheers

Well, assuming that this sort of airtime costs no more that £7, you pay £14.5*24=£348 for the phone. It's a pretty expensive way of borrowing £200-ish, isn't it? That said, it costs £319 from Apple directly - much more than £200-ish.

Where can you get an Iphone deal for £7 per month? I thought Giffgaff was the cheapest and there's has recently gone up to £11.50 or £12 per month?

AFAIK, Giffgaff hasn't gone up yet and will remain £10 for 250+Unltd+1Gb

Cheers for that. Not sure if the £7 SIM is for Iphone's though? Just going on the fact it says "Blackberry SIM's from £10" so presume Iphone would be at least as much. Giffgaff's £10 goodybag goes up this month.

Even if they don't give you a micro sim, it can be easily cut to a micro size.

BB is always more expensive because of BBS included

Giffgaff's £10 goodybag goes up this month.

AFAIK only with unlimited data (not tetherable). 1Gb tetherable will be £10

Tesco do 7.50 sim here http://shop.tescomobile.com/sim-only

You can ask for a normal sim card then just ask them to send you a microsim, my cousin did this

How about this for a great deal?

iPhone 4s, 24 month contract, £20 a month with Tesco (O2).

It includes 750 minutes, 5000 texts and 1 GB data, with an upfront phone cost of £100.

Just ordered two, one for me and one for my wife, in doing so you get to choose a family perk of an extra 150 minutes, 250MB or 500 minutes to Tesco Mobile phones.

I could'nt find a deal that could beat this, hope this helps someone as I always use money saving expert for advice and this is my 1st post in return.
