Good question, but a better question is why didn't you just buy a SIM-free iPhone from Apple? Despite the higher initial cost, it's much cheaper overall.

Exactly that, the initial upfront cost I don't have £600

I wanted the phone now + wait a bit for what? the price ain't going to come down anytime soon

Wait a bit until you save £600 and buy it unlocked from Apple?
You don't have even £600 saved, but are wasting money on a 'loan' for buying a locked toy and on unlocking it.
I wouldn't say this if it wasn't a Money Saving forum.
