Does anyone know if any of the networks do the 3GS for free on around £35 a month, 300 mins unlimited texts etc? preferably on a 18 month contract?

You won't get an iPhone for free unless you're spending loads more than that a month, even a 3GS   That said, they must be £99 odd now anyway...

Do you really want a 24 month contract though? To get your PAC you must phone your current provider and ask for it. They will usually post it to you within a week, though I've heard of a few people getting it over the phone.

This is the thing   24 is a long arse time to have one phone... 
 
Any ideas Ed where to look for contracts? I'm still with Vodafone, reckon they would do me a deal if I called them up?

Says it's through the Carphone Warehouse, have you looked at their offers? Or, in fact, any high street retailers. You might get a better deal through them? 
 
I wouldn't get a 24 month contract, especially on an iPhone as mine is pretty dead after 18 months!

I'm going to shoot down to carphone warehouse on my lunch and speak to them, does that website just end up linking to carphone warehouse?

It looks like a scraper site that re-directs to another site which looks like it redirects to another site. I think I'd avoid buying from them as it looks a bit dodgy actually.

I'd just go to all the highstreet retailers and just tell them exactly what you want and move on to the next store if they cant give you what you want. Try haggle with them. I'm pretty sure they have some lee way when it comes to giving out contracts, just no one trys to haggle with them.

If you have just seen 99 for a 3gs @ 24 months I went into orange the other day and the woman said I can have the iphone 4 600 mins unlimited texts unlimited internet for 35 quid and the phone is 119. Go and ask.

Or look online for iphone 4 tariffs since that's exactly the same deal as you'll get in the shop.

No one actually offers "unlimited interent usage" as it all got abused really, so many tariffs have cut it right back. 
 
Orange O2 T-mobile is 500 mb 
Vodafone is 1GB 
 
If I remember correctly

t-mobile is 3G but the guy I registered the sim with guaranteed me it was really unlimited, I didn't bother getting into an argument about it.
