iPhone 4S Announced

[pazz]

I thought it was 2 pre-orders per customer?

I worked out that buying the 4s outright will be more expensive than contract over 24 months with 100mins/100 texts, based on iPhone 4.

Think I'll wait for a contract deal.

Please send me your maths...Every single contract deal I have compared vs sim-only (bought outright), sim-only always wins.

I strongly recommend a Three 12 month sim-only contract £15 pm 600mins/2000txts/1GB for a good sim-only deal.

How good is three coverage these days?  I know it had pretty awful feedback a few years back but this £10 tariff is tempting me!

SIM 300 - 12 month gives you:
300 Minutes
3000 texts
1GB internet

Its very good these days. Know plenty that use Three sims on their iPads. They have the largest 3G network in the UK.  I'll be moving to them most likely when my O2 contract ends.

My Brother works for 3 and I will be moving to 3 when I move back to England as thier 3G seems great & great VFM

Easy

My 18month contract with free 32Gb 4S on Vodafone will be £53p/m (£67 usually but I get a reduction of 20% forces discount )

£53 x 18 = £954

£954 - £59 that Vodafone are giving Pre order customers is £895

£895 - £350 I can get for the 32Gb iPhone 4 = £545

To buy the phone would cost me £600 then I would have to pay a monthly fee be it contract or PAYG on top. Even at a min of a £15p/m sim only deal would mean the total cost would be £780

So I can pay £545 total for 3000mins, unlimited texts, 1GB data, 25mb roaming data etc

Or

£780 for the phone and that sim you quoted.

Me thinks I'll get a contract and save £235

LOL Carl. You would still be selling the iPhone 4 for £350 as well. So the cost would actually be £430.

But you haven't factored in what you'd get for your iPhone 4, as you did with the contract TCO...

^^ Beat me to it

[vRS Carl]

Your both wrong as if I bought the phone outright then my wife would be having the iPhone 4 to replace her 3GS so I wouldn't be recovering the cost  

As it is because she can get the same deal she will get the 4S too.

Now don't start saying "now your paying out for two phones" as we are talking about the cost of one phone not two


And yes I do have an answer for everything

But you could sell the iPhone 4 and she could still sell the 3GS and there would be literally nothing in it.

Exactly so a contract can work better or at least equal to

Being tied in contractually over a period of time, isnt better or equal, to having the choice to pick and choose the best sim only deals. In my opinion. 

[xr2 crazy]

great news been waiting on this for a while.shame my upgrade isnt till next feb

+1  

Sim-only/phone outright gives you the freedom and option to sell the handset at any time and upgrade.
