One other thing with the Tesco iPhone deal is the price. �20 per month
plus �222 for the iphone. This sounds like a good deal.

But if you look at the details (cost of iphone v a free one, contract
duration, etc) and compare it to the Orange or O2 deals, it actually
works out around �38 per month. Compare that to �34 per month on Orange
and o2.

Is that allowing for the fact the Tesco is a 12month & the O2/Orange
being 24month contracts?

The shorter contract is a BIG attraction for me.
