Cheaper 32gb iphone 3gs on contract @ O2


45°

FOUND BY: matt_1989 2 months, 2 weeks ago

STARTS: 12/09/2009   

buy 32gb 3gs on payg 538.30 payg then get the simplicity 02 plan using quidco £100 already posted deal on heres the cost spread out

538.30/12 = 44.86 over 12 months+ £11.66(simplicity) = £56.52 pm ( on a 12 month contract taking cost of phone into account)
538.30/ 24 = 22.43 over 24 months + £11.66(simplicity) = £34.09 pm ( the equivilent if you stayed on a 24 month contract with this)

so a saving of £178.80 so even if you dont get the 100 off quid co its saving of 78 plus your getting 800 min 1600 text and bolt on ( unlimited web usage included) where as you would get 600 min 500 text on there own contract.

also your only subjected to a 12 month contract rather then 24

Cost of 02 direct iphone 32gb contract
(175.19(cost of phone) / 24) + 34.26 = 7.30 + 34.26 = 41.56 pm ( price of Contract of 24 month contract on 02 ect)

plus if you wanted it on the 18 month 02 contract it would be £100 more making the contract

15.24 ( for the phone per month) + 34.26 ( for the contract) = £49.50 a month!!

saving 15.24 a month over the 18 month contract £277.38 if you dont get the quidco its £177.38

i agree with the op here, seems a fairly decent price to pay for an iphone when you consider the average cost for a like for like deal. It may seem and outragous sum of money uprfront but over the course of an 18 month contract you pay just as much anyway....
