I've just been looking at phones, had mishap this week
Usually i'm sim only/buy a phone, but thought i'd check the maths vs contract phone with O2.
Phone is more expensive than i can buy sim free. The biggest downside is when you take out phone + airtime contract, the airtime rates are very poor & you're tied for 36months. Leaving the phone cost aside 36 month contract with phone 5gb data/unlimited minutes airtime is £19/month.
sim only 18 month 5gb data/unlimited minutes is £10/month. £324 overcharge over 3 years, O2 are very much trying it on with the unwary customer.
