I am looking to buy an Iphone 3gs on a pay monthly tarriff. I have seen one from the carphonewarehouse on Vodafone for..
-35 pound a month (24 month contract)
-Unlimited Internet Anytime Any network
-Unlimited months Anytime Same network
-Unlimited texts Anytime Any network
-600 minutes Anytime Any network

Just wondering if anyone knows if i could get it abit cheaper? or is it reasonable?

Cheers :y:

Pretty reasonable mate. Would be worth getting the iPhone 4 though imo.

I bought mine outright and put a pay and go sim in.£10 a month gets me free internet and unlimited texts.I usually top uo £20 a month which gives me ample minuites.

Sound decent to me i pay that now on my samsung with unlimited texts and internet but with 1200mins any network anytime.

Do you have to pay for the phone (handset) too or do you get it free?

For an extra £100 for the handset, and only £30 per month, you can get the same deal with three on an iphone 4.

im on an 18 month contract with o2
-free 3gs
-Unlimited Internet Anytime Any network
-Unlimited months Anytime Same network
-Unlimited texts Anytime Any network
-1200 minutes Anytime Any network

for £45 a month

Pretty reasonable mate. Would be worth getting the iPhone 4 though imo.

only difference between the 3gs and the 4, appart from price, is the camera and video calling tbh. you can upgrade the 3gs to IOS4 software just by plugging it in to itunes... then it multi tasks and all the rest of it just like the 4! ;)

i'd just get the 3gs if i were you and update the software, saves a massive wait... thats what i did anyway. :y:

hope it helps!

The phone is free on that tarriff.. but its only the 8gb version i think you had to pay a little more if you wanted the 16 or 32gb

all of the deals are the same on an iPhone its just the deposit you have to pay that differs.

Just to add to the comments that people have said about the only diff about a iPhone 4 is the cam and the video chat, you ain't looked at the iPhone 4 fully have you? It had longer battery life, also is faster just to name another 2 key features over the 3gs!

Try getting in contact with your home insurance mate.

You should be able to cover your phone for the year for under £30.

If not, theres a few bank accounts around for around £10 per month, which include mobile phone insurance aswel as breakdown cover and travel insurance etc.

best deal is with tesco. when i got my 3gs in feb, 12 month contract costing £20.00 a month and initial £320. i get uinlimited internet wifi and downloads(well 1TB but goodluck using all that) and £60 felible credit(calls, texts, picture messages). And you can get upgrade and your phones unlocked after 12 months. iPhone 4 is £340 initial and for £20 a month you get unlim texts 250 mins, and 1gb downlloads i think... www.tesco.com !
