Cheapest iPhone 3gs/4 With Less Data

Snapelover

I've read Martin's article about the cheapest options for various iPhones but I don't need a lot of data and he only lists the cheapest deals with 500mb of data.

I am considering buying an iPhone for only one main reason, I am visually impaired and have been told and read by various sources that Apple are way better than any other company for their accessibility functions.

(I recently tried a Sony Ericsson Arc S but that was no good.)

So, I don't want to surf the net constantly and I don't tweet or watch Youtube so can someone tell me of any decent price plans out there for less data usage.

I don't mind if it's a PAYG or a contract and not really bothered who it is with.

The only thing I would be careful with is how quickly the iPhone can actually use data. Downloading apps can quickly consume your allowance and some providers can charge a lot if you go over. If you are going to take a lower allowance make sure you have a way of monitoring your usage. It would be pointless if you get a low allowance but end up getting charged a fortune for going over. At least with 500mb you know you will be covered.

No need for this at all. Just make sure any downloading of apps etc is done over wifi - if you are worried, you can ensure this happens if you turn off mobile data in settings while using the internet.

You may well need 500MB of data.

Simple things outside of wifi at home are:

viewing itunes, app store, weather updating, downloading any app, apple's imessage service, icould service. etc..

Thanks to all for your help. I went for an O2 iPhone 3GS refurb on a £16.50 a month contract (the amount of data can be varied from 500mb downwards) and given him indoors the O2 sim. I have put a T Mobile sim in which, as well as mins and texts, has unlimited data and is on an 18 month contract with redemption every 4 months and at the end of the 18 months hopefully I will have received every penny back.

I do most stuff when at home using wifi and have my mobile network settings set to off at all times.
