Hi All,

I am a loyal customer wit o2 for a while, 1st i had Iphone 3g, and then iphone 4(until now all on 30% discount, but not anymore), now next upgrade offering me iphone4s 16GB with £105 upfront cost and £47 for 12 months contract - comes with 900 mins, unlimited text and (i think) 750MB data.

Is it a good deal? i am not bothered abt mins n stuff, but cant make my mind on should i take it or leave and look for other option. Thought i would ask the experts on HUKD!!

Thanks a million in advance!!

    You got to work out if you want an Iphone or not, if you do there are not many better deals out there apart from sim-free and a giff gaff deal.

    if your wanting a 12 month contract then you'll always pay more. just buy an i pad and a normal phone?

    47 per month is quite a lot of money, depends how much you want one!

    I've just got a 4s 32gb on orange for £79 upfront and £34.50 per month through my company (can get 4 friends or family same package)... The guy in the shop said that people who work for the nhs, local council and some other organisations are also eligible. I also got a friend a 16gb iPhone 4 for free on £26 pm.

    is that for 12 months? if so its a good deal i suppose! anychance you can introduce me as your friend and get me the same discount!
    Nath2904
    unfortunately its on a 24 month contract, but you get 900minutes, unltd texts and 1 gb of data....on 02, the data is extra in the form of a bolt-on at extra cost per month. As for introductions,you are welcome to one, they have to be done in-store, with me present (wage slips and photo i.ds/proof of address needed by both partys).

    Thx m8 but I somehow still think at this cost it's better to stck to 12 month upgrade that I hv been offered.
    Nath2904
    yeah, must admit the 12 month contract does sound attractive

    This does not take into account retention offers though, my retention deal was £37 a month and £160 for the phone (16gb 4s)for 12 months, 300 mins, unlimited texts and 500mb date which i never get close to using.)

    I also got £5 discount off of that for a delay in receiving the phone, so overall I am paying £544. The phone sim free costs £499 so I am really only paying £44 for the years contract. The phone will be worth more after 12 months as well compared to 24 months like most other contracts!

    I'm lost, how is that as bad a bad deal as people are making out?
    The phone would cost £499.00, orange et al won't pay much less and that leaves £170 divide 12 months; circa £14/m for 900 mins, unlimited texts and 750mb data and it's only 12/m.
