Please can you help me? Am I being stupid with my calculations on my contract?

Normally I would buy sim free but i'm thinking this contract deal is actually better. Have I just miscalculated?

Sim free is £1199 . You can get £11 per month, unlimited data from ID mobile. 12 month contract. With EU roaming - 30GB limit.

11 * 24months (12 months x 2) = £264 Sim free = Handset £1199 + 264 = £**1463**

ID Mobile Being offered - Unlimited  Data + Mins + Texts £29.99pm x 24m + £549 upfront = £1269 

The contract is cheaper?

Including CPI raises . Let's say it's 15% .  
£549 +
  
£29.99 x 6 (£179.94)
£34.49 x 12  (£413.88)
£39.66 x 6 (£237.96) = 831.78  


Total cost £**1,380.78**

    Your calculations look right, but you would be committing to 24 months rather than 12. Cpi/rpi increases are a bit of an unknown but hopefully you are at tip end of estimates.
    The only question for me is could you get a cheaper sim only deal in 12 months? Maybe, maybe not.

    Not seeing that deal on the Id Mobile site, is it via a reseller?

    Could you post a link?

    EDIT: Found it - mobiles.co.uk
