    Monitor your bills. If you go over and get a massive bill its your own fault.

    iPhone will cost you a loads on the 6 month contract. If you want to see any sort of decent amount taken off youd have to go for 50 pm for 24 months.

    For a contract as short as 6 months you'd need to be on an expensive plan or you'll pay the guts of the full retail (SIM-free) price for the phone and it will still be network-locked.

    For example, I just looked at an iPhone 4S 16GB (Apple SIM-free retail price €579) and on the cheapest 6 month plan (€40 p.m.) you'll pay O2 €469 for the phone.

    So you have to pay a fee for the phone as well?

    Let me guess you thought that if you go on any contract you get a free top end phone? :) You can get a free phone. Just not an iPhone :)

    Galaxy Ace 2, Xperia U, Lumia 610 would only come free on 18 months at 40 pm. So don't expect the iPhone to :)
