Tesco seem to have some really nice deals on the iphone 4 at the moment. Much be appealing than orange who I'm with now...

£20/month
12 month contract
250 mins
unlimited texts
1gb data
phone cost is £349 / £429 respectively.

I would prefer to stay with orange as I've been with them for 12 years now and I think I get a 20% discount on my line rental for my loyalty, but the cheapest they offer is £30/month on a 24 month contract and only give you 150mins/250texts. Phone costs are cheaper, but that's outweighed by the long contract and being locked into paying £720 over the 24 months :(

Is anyone else with Tesco and can give their opinions on it? I understand they share the O2 network so coverage shouldn't be an issue.

My wife was on Tesco and was very happy with them. No trouble with signal etc. and the indian call centres seem more helpfull than Orange.

They do use O2 Network so network coverage is as good as O2.

Have to say though no one beats T-mobile for customer care which is why she is now back with them and I have been with them for years.

T Mobile seem a bit tight on the plans though

£25.00 (24 months) 100 100 500 MB £279.00

The flexible booster brings the texts up to unlimited, but I would probably go over 100 mins a month quite easily looking at my previous bills and usage.

the saving on the phone cost would be offset by the £60 more a year and being locked into a 24 month contract :(

At least Tesco seem good enough customer service wise. Cheers Craig :)

Going slightly off track here but have you looked at the HTC desire? looks to do everything the I phone does & aparantly smoother operation,deals/tarrifs look to be v.good too
