The crux of my argument was why spend so much in the beginning when the amount of money you save over such a long period is tiny? I just don't get it.
That argument works the other way around.
Why tie yourself into a really long contract, when you could get the same thing with more flexibility built in for almost the same cost ???
It's all down to if you have the cash up front I suppose.
Andy has a good point, not many people realise they can shift down on the iPhone and save a packet. I did this myself in January (I think ???) and have saved a good deal. Say Tesco start a really nice Pay & Go tariff, I could just take that without any worries.
There will also be the added bonus of staying with the terms of my existing agreement, ie real unlimited data. Although looking at it I almost never get near the 500Mb a month allowed on the new basic tariff.
Either way all the networks (and Apple) know we really want these things and are well prepared to take our money. There are no cheap iPhone deals out there!
Cheers
