I’m out of contract with EE, I have iPhone 8, now interested in the iPhone 12.  Best deal I have been offered with EE is £39.99, phone free and unlimited data.

Have considered buying the phone outright, then sim only deal.  I would have to pay monthly.  

Need some ideas, like EE know your not going to leave them.

Thanks,

Garcon.

    Cheapest Iphone 12 contract with unlimited data is 3 - £184 upfront and £25/month

    Compare here - https://www.moneysavingexpert.com/cheap-mobile-finder/contracts/apple/iphone-12/

    Worth also looking at Iphone 13 as a comparison on the price.

    Thank you.  It’s a minefield, the mobile phone market.  Loyalty doesn’t pay, I’m sure the iPhone 13 might be a better option, hoping to try and save some money.  Do you for the NHS.

    Just be aware that if you sign up for a new contract around now you will be incur rpi increases of around 9% which take effect from April.

    I understand the O2 cutoff date to avoid them is 24th March but I don't have any information about other providers.

    Sadly, IpHoNe and saving money don't go together.

    I've go a Moto G31 (cost around £175) and pay £8 per month sim only
    Works out about £15pcm if you spread it over 2 years

    I've also got the G31 and a Smarty sim for £6 a month. I'm not actually sure what an Iphone of any persuasion does that cant be done on mine.
