Exactly - Not including the price of the handset.

You have to pay the kind of inflated tariff some charge for a free/cheap subsidised phone, yet you *also* pay for the phone.


And even then, the allowances are poor.

200 minutes & 200 SMS for £35?!!

OK, so it has "unlimited" data (they have admittedly dropped the 200MB/month hard limit), but it is still subject to the FUP (IIRC... reasonable use, no P2P, no streaming, no modem use, etc...). [& you're stuck with EDGE... if you can actually get EDGE, otherwise it's the even more slow GPRS].


I pay T-Mobile £37.50 for Flext35 + Web 'n' Walk.

£180 allowance (1800 SMS, or 900 minutes, or any mix thereof), plus 1GB/month data.


Even a normal non-Apple-finger-in-the-pie O2 tariff is better than the iPhone tariff IMO, & you can always add the £7.50 Web bolt-on (which AFAIK is still 200MB/month unfortunately).
