Because to get it on contract you need to pay "roughly" £40 a month for it for free,

Most networks are offering it up on 2 year contracts, so 24 x 40 = £960 (i know some are less but i'm going on the presumption I want the phone free and generally this is the case in shops etc)

I can get PAYG rolling monthly contract with virgin for £10 a month, with unlimited text and internets and 300mins Thats 240 quid(presuming I kept it up for a year) plus £450 = £690.

PLUS I'm not bound to a 2 year contract.

Speaks for itself if you can afford it upfront.

I refuse to go on anymore more than a 12 year contract, Its b*llshit and a con if you ask me.

Well it works I suppose if you want to stump up so much up front and have paying £40 a month as an alternative.

Looking at thecarphonewarehouse that phone can be had for £35 a month (x24 is £840). And looking at virgin, a similar contract is £15 a month. So 360+450=£810. So not a lot in it if I personally were to go shopping now. Obivously if you can get better deals then thats different.

Or if you buy if for £39.99 you can get it on Orange for £25 a month, which is £639.99 on mobiles.co.uk
