Free Iphone 4s

whiteshorts

Iphone 4s FREE in Three Dun Laoghaire, not sure if it's nationwide or not.
Only Stipulation is a 2 year contact on a monthly minimum charge of €25.41.
This includes unlimited Data, unlimited 3 to 3 calls and 100 flexi units
(1 Flexi unit = 2 text messages or 1 minutes call).
Lots of add-ons at €6.99 i.e. All Texts, unlimited landline calls to Ireland etc.

Not a good deal at all imo. Much better phones out there for better value not to mention meter value plans on payg such as 3's 20euro a month offer, 48 or Tesco Mobile.

Definitely not a bargain.

Presumably it's the 8GB version (which is around 6GB user accessible).

No good for anything unless you don't need any apps or music on the phone.

If you take any photos (8MP is the only option) or video (1080P is the only option) you'll soon run out of memory.

And the winner of the worst bargain of the year is!!!!!

It's not free, you get a 2 year contract

I can't believe there's still people that think you get a "free" phone on bill pay. I was working with a girl a couple years ago who got a "free" iphone from O2 with an 18 month contract of €80 per month, and she didn't even have unlimited calls etc. I was paying O2 €20 a month payg for unlimited calls and texts. She was constantly trying to convince me that I should sign up for the "free" iphone.

31.20 @ 24 months = 749 Eur

Sim free 4S 360 Eur

(http://www.expansys.ie/apple-iphone-4s-8gb-uk-white-255216/)

Sign up to Tesco Mobile 15Eur per month (For tesco clubcard members, non members 20Eur, there should be no reason not to be a clubcard member). Free calls to any network or landline. No free text but why need free text when you can call?? Data 1gb is 5Eur (deductable from the 15Eur [or 20 Eur]). total for 24 months at 15Eur = 360. Also keep in mind, there is no obligation to top up every months plus the remainder credit can be used.

Total = 720 (or less)

forgot to say free text for tesco mobile to tesco mobile

With that Tesco deal you can buy unlimited texts for €10 of your €15 and the 5gb data with the remaining €5.:).

I think it's 1gb for 5€ or 5gb for 10€.

i signed up with 3 for an iphone 4 3 years ago 40 a month, never again,last year i picked up 2 x 3 month old iphone 5 quite cheap on adverts from people that get free upgrades and prefer the cash, sim only deals are great at the moment im getting same deal as my contract instead of 40 its 20 a month
free phone is a gimmick 40 x 24 months is 960

I wouldn't sign a 2 year contract for any phone or phone company service

Jaysus lads ease off, for 25 quid a month you're not going to get a 4s anywhere else. Who cares what your opinions are on contracts. Someone even pointed out a 4s is 360 euro new, you're going to end up paying about 600 quid on this deal. Where are you going to get a PAYG or monthly plan and phone for that? It's a perfect deal for a light user or first time smartphone user

Edit: just to add, I had a 3 phone a few years ago and you couldn't pay me to go back. It still isn't that bad. It's like a bloody lynch mob in here if some people don't like the offer

Not really, by the time the phone is paid for it's 4 year old technology and worth nothing :eek:
For a 2 year contract to make sense it would need to be for brand new tech

Not everyone that has smartphones cares what they're worth at the end of the contract. I've had a few iPhones, a htc and now an S4 and I've never once sold a phone at the end. I'm quite into tech also so I know how much my phones are worth. They always go to my girlfriend or family. The type of people this will appeal to won't care what the phone is worth at the end of the contract either.

Apple stuff is always worth something , if you take any Apple device right now along with a similar or even better specked Andriod or Windows Device, go to sell all three in 18months and you will get more for the Apple device.
In two years you will still get a 100 for an Iphone 4 I reckon going by Iphone 3GS prices.

same ol sh1te

Regardless, there are much better deals out there for a 2 year contract, this one is not a bargain.

Only a fool would pay 100 for an iPhone 3GS

Oh dear, OP. By now I'm sure you have seen the error of your ways.

A thread title like that, in a place like this! Dear God. A recipe for disaster......

there's pro's and cons both ways, but 360 outright is still an awful lot money for a phone i think anyway

That's fair enough.
But for those that are not up to speed on technology or phone contracts, they need to know that this 'Free' phone is not a bargain.
Tying yourself into a 2 year contract should be rewarded with a much better phone and tariff options.

my wife got a 'free' 4s and is paying €18 per month from O2 last month.
low data (like 250mb) but its suits her perfectly. They dont normally offer 'free' phones at that level.

Lads need to give the op a break, some people cant afford to just go onto adverts and spend €250 (or alot more) on a phone and go sim free.

Tell you what, you are right. This is the best deal with the best tariff options available. Well done.

So you gloat post of your iPad sale on a phone & contract thread? And you speak of foolish apple fan boys?

Go figure

I got a HTC One for "free" on a 2 year contract @50 a month. I get 2GB of data and free calls and texts but I still regret it.

Just don't sign a contract with any phone companies. Ever. I learned (and am still learning) the hard way.
