    Your question makes no sense.
    If you want a phone alone buy it outright. Try Apple finance if you don't have enough money saved.
    If you want a phone with airtime you have to say how much minutes/texts/data you need.

    CPW sell 4s 8gb for as little as £170 on Orange PAYG upgrades, but you have to be PAYG customer for 6 months.

    Really wouldn't get an iPhone 4. Support stops this year. No more updates. And iOS 8 basically borked it according to a lot of threads on various forums.

    At a minimum I'd get an iPhone 5/5s. Keep an eye ok HUKD. They're often iPhone deals posted there.

    Apple stopped signed the drivers for 7.1.2 back in September so you can't downgrade to iOS 7 now I'm afraid.
