This is a rough guide. I would like to know if anyone has had a great deal on iphone5 please and if you used a cashback site?

Thanks

You'll usually find it much cheaper to pay full price (£529) for the iPhone from Apple and then get a SIM-only contract.

For example, get a SIM-only contract from Three. See http://store.three.co.uk/view/searchTariff?deviceType=SIM_ONLY&priceplan=PAY_MONTHLY where for what you want, the total cost over 18 months would be £979. Whatever you do, compare the total cost over 18 or 24 months rather than the upfront cost of the goods or service.

I'd rather pay £51 a month over 24 months with Orange.

£1224 - but at least all your 01/02/02, mobiles, UK texts and UK data are included...for me this deal actually makes a i5 worth something more than its pricetag sim free.

i5 £529 cost over 24 months & the priceplan £29 a month it works out as. To me thats unbeatable.

Why pay £51 a month when you can get the same for less (T-Mobile?).

As I said, look at the total cost over the contract period. If you look at individual components, you're missing the whole picture.

Oh I completely see your point NFH and given the circumstances would personally go for a similar approach (if I wanted or needed an iPhone, which I do not)... But not everyone can afford such a large payment in a single lump sum.

I was merely questioning the logic of the previous poster on why Orange's insanely priced package was great for the OP.

UNLIMITED on T-Mob is 2000 cross network mins, the unlimited refers to T-mobile to T-Mobile calls, advertised as unlimited, small print says the above.

Earthworm

No the £36 plan is 2000 minutes... The £41 plan is unlimited minutes. Still £240 less overall than Orange. The £36 specifically separates T-Mobile calls and cross network where as the £41 states any network anytime.

Well they changed it because yesterday the link to plan inclusions on the £41 plan on their website said 2000 mins & unlimited T-Mobile.

Good luck using all them 2000 mins on the Three network.

When i had a phone on 3 a few years ago the network coverage was useless.

Just make sure you check the coverage for the areas where you need to make calls
