Free Gifts with mobile contracts

Hi Guys and Girls

Its that time of year again and my contract is up! Im thinking of keeping my iphone 3 :rotfl: and just getting a sim only contact for £7-£10 a month

But I want a I PAD and maybe a new I phone :rotfl:

Is there any deals on the net etc which you get a few I PAD when you take out a contract, heard loads of stories about people getting free gifts with contracts and in 10 years ive never had 1 :(

any advice and help would be most appreciated :money:

    Surely it would be a massive monthly cost if the offer included a new Ipad :eek:
    I let my mind wander and it never came back!

    'Free gifts' are never really free, the cost is factored into the (higher) monthly charges.
  • thanks peeps, i know you'll pay a little extra but are there any??
  • Free gifts are like interest free credit. In effect, a lie.

    He best deal s to buy what you need without any contract. You are then free to switch and your credit file remains untouched if your circumstances change.

    Considering the items you want are highly desirable - the chances of an viable 'deal' are slim. Get an Android alternative and you'll be spoilt for choice as they need to shift them.
