Dunno what all this nonsense is about buying the phone outright then getting a sim only deal.
I was on a 12 month contract with Vodafone for my iPhone 4 16GB, paid £220 for the phone and £40 a month for the contract. My may makes that £700 over the whole year. My contract consisted of 600 mins, unlimited texts, 500mb data.
Buying an iPhone 4S 16GB now outright is £499, a sim only contract that offers the equivalent is £20.50 (with Vodafone), now my math makes that £745.
Think I was £45 better off.
In all seriousness though, I still have my iPhone 4 and am now on a sim only deal with Vodafone costing me £10.50 a month for 600 minutes, unlimited texts, 500mb data and 0800/0845 numbers included in my minutes.
Now I have a good sim deal I'll buy the iPhone outright.
