  • £504 cost for the handset which is available for £419 everywhere else. 
    If you can afford the upfront cost then buy elsewhere and get sim only deal.

    The VM deal comes to £684 over 3 years so if if you can buy  the phone outright outright for £419 you have £265 available for sim purchase  to break even - ie  £7.36 a month.
    So if you can find a 1gb sim for less than this then buying outright would be cheaper. 
    Sims at this price tend to be available on the smaller network companies who piggyback on to a main provider but that is what VM does.

    Phone is currently £385.48 on Currys ebay site when you use code PRICE8

    I think they still have a few left.

    I think the Iphone SE is a very good deal. The hardware is up to date and the price is very good. My parents always use the Iphone SE models :wink:
