Re: iPhone on Tesco mobile...the prices!
ouch, i figured with o2 no longer exclusively having the iphone there'd be cheaper contracts around, apparantly i was wrong :(
Re: iPhone on Tesco mobile...the prices!
Yup, Apple pretty much control the pricing :(
Re: iPhone on Tesco mobile...the prices!
The unlimited packages seem very expensive... considering that Tesco's normal unlimited package costs £30/month - on a 1 month contract - you are effectively paying £720 for a 16GB 3GS handset.
OTOH the £20/month packages compare quite well with O2's offering - but do you get unlimited internet with that?
Re: iPhone on Tesco mobile...the prices!
The pay monthly offers are not available online but you can now call a special sales line on 08000014150.
Ive just spoken to them and they say this is a dedicated sales line for the iphone

Your post adds nothing and inmy eyes, is spam.
Re: iPhone on Tesco mobile...the prices!
the save £20 when you spend £40 seems like the only good incentive. i'm not sure if tesco rent another carrier's 3g service because i doubt they'll have their own infrastructure, but i'd be much more comfortable with o2 or orange. i've got an unlocked 3g on 3, and it's ok but my brother on orange gets much better coverage.

Tesco use O2 as their network.

Re: iPhone on Tesco mobile...the prices!
Personally I don't think it's a good deal, I would jailbreak a PAYG and put in a cheap O2 sim-plicity card when they come on offer again. It will work out cheaper and better minutes than a contract.
Re: iPhone on Tesco mobile...the prices!
I thought it was still running ...... well the last posts from a few days ago seem to confirm it.
