    Humm.. . you don't own the phone, you only hire it. If you lose it, don't return it or return it with more than 'normal ware and tear' there can be some hefty charges added on.
    I can see a few thread of complaint on here in 12 months time. . .
  • It's says insurance is included though?

    If your phone is returned damaged, you'll be charged.

    Then it would be a shame if you lost it just before it was time to hand it back

    £47 a month for an S3

    I have the S3 on the red contract for 24 months and pay £21 a month.
    I reckon the S3 will still be a pretty hot phone in 12 months ..This is an absolutely shocking deal

    Was that an upgrade? Where'd you get that contact?
