My wife’s phone contract is up for renewal and she has her heart set on an iphone, anyone know of any good deals that are around at the moment?

I don’t think there’s such a thing, other than second-hand. You might get a tenner off in Tesco’s or some such.

I got an iPhone 4S for £21 a month and £100 upfront, which was pretty good at the time. This was 2 months ago so maybe less now

Contract wise I was thinking.

That was on contract

Contracts are all similar, phone gonna end up costing at least £600

Any particular network?

Check 3 reception in your area and where you’ll need the phone. A 5 is £29 upfront and similar per month for a 2yr deal. I’ve been running a 3 mobile wifi dongle as an experiment and it’s much faster the EE. When they roll out 4G you’ll get it for free vs paying more for it on O2 and EE

Also note new phones being released in a few weeks 5S (new top of range, better camera inc slow motion video, faster processor) and 5C (slightly cheaper, bright colours). All iPhones get new ios7 in a week with improved user interface and battery life etc

Not fussy about network.

Buy my brand new iPhone 5 and pick up a sim only tariff.

Bargain

Second hand unlocked and £12 / month GiffGaff all the way.
