Cheapest iPhone 5

Hi guys,

Your iPhone 5 breakdown gives Tesco as the best deal with a 12-month contract, all in for £760 (high upfront cost)

However that's not really the best deal.

If you want to buy the unlocked iPhone 5 from Apple it'll cost you £529 and if you pay GiffGaff monthly at £12 for unlimited internet + 250 mins calls then that'll total to £673

So that's quite significantly better, with no contract, unlocked phone, and unlimited internet, if you can handle the upfront cost....

I see you refer to GiffGaff down below but I humbly suggest you might want to add in the total cost of ownership for the unlocked purchase,

[Edit: Currently it seems GiffGaff either recommend you to cut down your existing micro SIM to a nano SIM for the iPhone 5 - ouch - or they will send you a nano SIM but you can't transfer over your number. Can't have everything at that price I guess ... ]

Thanks for the great site,

Alex Lennon
