It is a good thing, in my view anyway.

It means you know exactly what you're paying for the phone itself, rather than the illusion that it is free. It was never free, but paid for over the course of the contract. Now it's just transparent, with the bonus of being able to pay for the phone itself to get an upgrade.

I've just upgraded to a G3 with the phone part costing me £15 a month over 2 years, a total of £360. Yes a little higher than the best price online of £300, but much easier for me to handle than a big lump sum.

I think VM Freestyle is also great, but I cannot fathom why you would fail a credit check despite being a long term customer, that's just perverse frankly.
