    I worked it out at €989.82 to Meteor's €503.88 over the term of the contract, including insurance.

    VF - €179.99 150+150 2gig (€9.99 ins.)
    Meteor - €179.99 200+200 1gig (€6.99 ins.)
    Cheapest price on Meteor for the phone is €479 on Connect €25 (12 Mths) and you get 200 Mins/Texts per month

    Cheapest price on Vodafone is €809 on their Perfect Choice Access plus (18 Months) and you get a very generous 0 Mins and 0 Texts for those 18 months too. 2GB data is all you get.


    €809 - €479 = €330

    So you will be paying €330 extra to get a phone with a longer contract with no texts and no minutes and 2GB of data for a phone that will most likely be locked?

    Are you sure that it's available on that plan though, I'm fairly sure when you go to pay they would not allow you to take it out on a low plan.

    Aye its definitely available on that plan, at that price.

    Just off the phone from Vodafone. The sales agent confirmed that the phone ISN'T available on anything below the perfect choice access plus plan. According to her the phone IS locked to Vodafone and can only be unlocked after 6 months or spending €200.

    Doubt they branded it though.

    As an upgrade I can definitely get it on that tariff.

    I wouldn't be so sure that would go through to be honest. It's not that I don't believe you but back when I was on Vodafone I was on perfect choice 50 and wanted to upgrade to a smartphone and they insisted I moved to the €35 plan and said it was impossible to buy any smartphone on a non-smartphone plan.

    Could you ring them and confirm by any chance? Really interested to see what they say.

    Glad I went with the Meteor one!

    I caved in and actually bought it, arrives weds, I was gonna hold on for the iphone, but that would force me to hike my tariff massively, and this represents great value imo, as I can stay on the cheap tariff!

    I'm on vodafone PAYG with the free any network texts, should I just stick with that or do VF have a more suitable plan for a phone like this?

    Ive been a Vodafone PAYG customer since day one and Ive been holding out to see what bill pay deals Vodafone would have for this phone and I am sorry to see that its a complete joke. I can get 200 mins, 200 texts and 10gb data on Meteor for the same monthly cost as Vodafones plan which is 0 text 0 mins and 2gb data! :rolleyes:

    Meteor here I come...

    Why not just buy the phone sim free and use it with Vodafone PrePay. Top up by 30 euro online (6euro free credit = 36 euro) sign up for 1 months data plan @ 20 euro for 5gb internet and you still get free calls and texts to vodafone and 16 euro credit to spare! You can also use Cabbage to text all other networks for free aswell, happy days!

    Buying it off meteor on their 12 month plan costs the exact same as buying it sim free :D
