iPhone deal recommendations please

[pjclarke]

In current role I need to be able to recieve alert emails out of office hours.

So I've decided to get me and Mrs C (Company Secretary) an iPhone each and charge it as a business expense to my limited.

Can anyone doing a similar thing recommend (or un-recoemmend) a particular provider? Happy to lock into a contract if this works out cheaper ...

TIA

O2.

I have unmlimted texts, unlimited data and dunno how many free minutes but I never go over. Never costs more than the 31 quid a mo or whatever it is!

After 18 months (contract end) call them and ask to move to the Sim-only plan. It's 600 mins and 1200 texts for £20 a month, on a rolling 1 month ontract.

Of course it means you have to keep the same old iPhone, but worth it until 4g comes out at least.

Any data on that? I use that A LOT!

I've just upgraded to 3GS too!

Yes indeed it's basically the same as the £31 (£35?) contract you have but with loads more texts. So all data is included.

I was going to go for 3GS too but will hold out for 4G , hope it's released soon!

Im paying £15 a month for unlimited text, unlimited internet and 300 mins a month and a better phone for £91 outright purchase. (Htc Hero) You can change the unlimited text to unlimited landland calls if you want.

Its with T mobile, which I was a bit unsure about, but its actually been strong signal everywhere Ive been.

The business tarrifs seemed crap, cant see the point of paying almost double to save a bit of corp tax.

Oooh... I shall be doing that tomorrow morning, as I'm out of contract tie-in period and waiting for a new iPhone to eventually arrive.

Thanks

I just recently looked at this. Vodafone 18month contract, paying a bit for the phone for both 16g and 32g 3GS costs the same as buying the phone with no contract, so you get 18 months of usage bundled and your payments over 18 months, so cheaper than pay as you go.

I went for the HD2 instead anyway - I'm still to be convinced by the iPhone, over htc's offerings.
