    Another rubbish idea from Three. Mobile forums are alive with pissed off three customers.

    Issues from no 2g signal no more, to expensive prices have made alot of people leave them and I think three are struggling to keep people interested.

    Right, so only PAYG customers get it for free? But Contract customers who are tied into long contracts get it for £2 a month?

    Surely that's the wrong way round?!

    It depends on whether you regard a subscription to the Times as a worthwhile benefit, or access to the Murdoch PR empire (News International) as a punishment.

    I'll always take something for free, but that's the problem, someone on PAYG, paying a lot less money than me, gets it for free, but I have to pay, even though my contract eventually adds up to £819.

    If you have to have an iPhone, I think the Tesco one is better:

    12 month contract: 250mins, 1GB data, unlimited text, £349 upfront = £589 total cost...

    Tesco weren't offering the iPhone 4 when I purchased .

    And 250 minutes is nowhere near enough, I used 1090 last month..

    Mine works out at £360 a year, with £99 upfront for the 32GB iPhone (Would've been free for the 16GB). Nowhere offers a deal that good anywhere else. And it would seem that 3 have upped their prices quite a bit for the same deal as I got, they're trying to sell the 16GB one for £50 more than I paid for my 32GB iPhone 4.

    my point is they saw you coming.

    you rubbishrubbishrubbishrubbishrubbished down a massive load of money quite happily for comparatively little in return.

    On the other side we've got the tight little pre-pay gang who make the phone companies work to extract every penny.
