    You'll need to search on here,its been asked loads of times.

    I would guess theres been changes to all of the networks options since it was released in October.

    Bottom line,buy your phone sim free (new or 2nd hand) & go with prepay or a 30 day rolling contract.

    Because its not tied to a specific network then and you can move to a new network whenever you want so you can take advantage of the best deals.

    Buying sim free new is expensive to begin with but in the end it is the best value.

    Unless your planning on leaving te county I would not buy new sim free 4S.
    Can't believe people think they are saving money on pay as you go with a smart phone.
    Have a look here for a price break down

    I did a price breakdown for meteor and iPhone 4S sim-free. It works out cheaper for me to buy sim-free than to buy bill pay. Could be different for other people, this is just my case. So yes you should believe that people can save money on pay as you go.

    Out of this i also get the bonus of owning my phone (my friend was told that he was 'leasing' his phone and unable to get normal consumer rights) and being able to pop in local sim cards when i go abroad. Saves me a lot of money when i go to the UK.

    I'm not a fan of three but i do know you can buy an iPhone off meteor for 300 euro with a 18 month €30 p/m contract.
