Best deal I've worked out so far is Vodafone SIMO £20.50 a month.
Phone: £529
Monthly: £20.50
Cashback: £60.60
Selling my BB9900: £150
Overall cost for 1 year: £564.40
Phone worth about £300 at the end of it, £265, approx £22 a month to own an iPhone for a year.
This is man maths at it's finest
Vodafone offered this particular tarrif to me over the phone about a month ago with a £5 discount, gonna think about whether I actually want an iPhone before badgering the upgrades team.
However, I'm tempted by full monty sim only on t-mob as I will be able to move to everything everywhere, with the overall cost going up to £610.80. Gonna see what Voda come back with when I give them a ring
Need to be careful though...
T-Mobile only do tethering on the 1.5GB contracts, not on unlimited.
Vodafone are only doing Facetime on the new iPhone 5 contracts, any others need a VoIP add-on bundle for £10.

This is where you have to be careful. Adding add-ons might go over the cost of what it would have cost going into another contract.
How do they stop tethering? If I buy the phone sim free and use wifi hotspot it can't stop me, can it? Or is this some retarded iPhone locked feature?
I don't have tethering on my BB contract but tethering works perfectly and I've used it extensively without voda giving a damn.

on a rolling month contract you should be able to add it when you need it though.

Because this is a feature of the phone and it only brings the menu up IF you have it on your account.
Unless it's jailbroken. The IP5 isn't jailbroken yet.
Yes.
Well that's crap. Might wait till it either is or Blackberry 10 comes out.

I don't have a clue how it works, but they do it!
O2 do it to me currently, unless I jailbreak (or bought the tether app when it was sneaked into the App Store for a few hours) I can't tether unless I "upgrade" my legacy unlimited data contract to one of the new ones.

Then it probably does have it included. If it doesn't then I don't know why it appears.
The thing is im stuck.
im with virgin and the ******s don't do nano sim. I pay £7 for my contract for 1200mins and unlimited mins.
so im going to have to leave them to get a nano sim
for the same tarriff on 3 sim0 + phone unlocked
£15.90 x12 + £529 = 719.8
£719 / 12m = £60 in my case if i put it on a credit card interest free for a year
