    Best deal I've seen which meets most of your needs is a 12 month deal with Vodafone unfortunately (£169.99 for the phone and £36 a month) which works out at £601 (with a further possible £30 Quidco cash back). 500MB plus 2GB BT Openzone wifi, 300 mins, unlimited texts. You also get 3 months unlimited data 'test drive'. After 12 months, get it unlocked and stick a giffgaff (or similar) SIM card in it.

  • o2 are doing 24 month contract

    £199.99 upfront

    500 mb
    unlimited texts
    only 50 mins per month

    for £16.50 per month

    total equals £596

    potentially £50 Quidco/TCB

    also it is believed the "data bolt on" can be removed at any time to reduce the monthly charge to £10.50, and equally reinstated at any time.

    also if you have o2 Broadband you get a £5 per month reduction on Broadband if you have o2 mobile monthly contract or payg (latter provided topped up regularly).

    O2 looks interesting. They are doing the Note 2 PAYG for £479.99. Presumably. you can put a giffgaff SIM in it and get 1GB for £10 or unlimited data for £12 a month.

    you can also get the 24 month contract on o2 as above but for £13.50 with only 100 mb.

    If you believe (as i do) that the data bolt on can be removed and that you will get the £50 Quidco/TCB then assume you let the data bolt on run for 2 months until quidco pays then it is a net price of approx £410, cheaper than payg price (post quidco/tcb)
