£7.76+VAT per month for 800GB, 325 minutes and 150 texts. With iMessage, 150 texts is plenty for me.

750 MB surely !

I very nearly upgraded to the new TMobile 'FULL MONTY' plan thinking i would only be paying a maximum of £36 month for 2000 minutes, unlimited texts and internet.

It was only after reading the small print that the new plans dont include any numbers beginning 08. They are charged an additional 40p min.

Also i thought great unlimited internet, the new iphone 5 can allow tethering, so thought this would be good for connecting the laptop or kids ipad to the internet when away. Only after reading the small print it seems TMobile have also removed the ability to teather.

In my opinion the FULL MONTY is not as FULL as it first seems:cool:

God even MSE mods have got into all this APPLE marketing caper....is MSE not about consumers & credit awareness ? No its now about a price marked up underspeced mobile phone & how to get your hands on one :rollseyes: if ever one consumer item goes against the MSE ethos its a i-phone, yet MSE give free publicity & marketing to it & its network partners !

It will only get worse when Martin leaves his paid position for moneysupermarket to make money out of such actions on the site.

NOT impressed.

MSE is about saving money for anyone and helping you get the best deal on anything.

If someone really wants an iPhone and can afford it, then MSE very helpfully gives you excellent comparisons so you can decide which one works out the cheapest for your personal requirements.

I see nothing wrong in that at all, MSE is not just for people struggling financially.

I have an iphone 4 which is out of contract in November, what's the cheapest option for me if I wanted an iphone5?

Should I trade in, upgrade and see what orange can offer? Or don't trade in and find another website that will offer more?
Or buy from Apple with a giffgaff SIM, that I would make myself, what size is a nano SIM?

the £41 plan is marketed as UNLIMITED calls, data & texts !

SMALL PRINT: 2000 cross network & unlimited T-mobile calls !!

terrible misrepresentation.

Yes, and it is 800MB, comprising 50MB + 750MB included in the monthly charge.
