I'm working on an excel doc showing you how much each plan will cost over the length of your contract. How do you upload docs to Boards?

I really find that expensive.

How much data is with that? I was amazed 2 years ago when O2 thought that 500mb was generous!

The data deal is I have a data only sim on my iPhone. It's only 700mb which isn't enough so I should probably try and change that.

I should probably do some research and look at the comparisons to see if they're ripping me off.

Ordered a 16GB today from Apple does anyone know if the delivery is actually faster than 2-3 weeks? say from when you ordered for iPhone5?

If anyone is interested called Vodafone Letterkenny (the one at retail park) today 11am they only got x2 ! both for existing customers. Apple store Belfast had none at noon so stumped for online.

Click "Go Advanced" and then click on the paper clip. Or you could upload to google docs and post a link.

If you go into any phone shop and ask for a pay as you go iPhone 5s/5c will you get one? On the website's the only one I can see that is selling a pay as you go iPhone 5c is o2. I am currently on vodafone, and if I went into a store tomorrow to buy a pay as you go phone would I get it? On the website all it says is bill pay.

Wait, what's this about deposits? Why would I need to give a deposit if I'm paying for the phone upfront? I don't have an extra 250/300 quid on top of the phone cost o.O

Deposits are sought where the network consider the customer to pose some sort of risk to the agreement.

At the end of the day, if you are getting a phone on a contract, you are undertaking hire purchase. It amuses me that everyone comes into the shop and says 'but sure its cheaper to buy the phone up front' in a manner which suggests they've discovered the secret of the holy grail.

Hire purchase with a handset requires a credit check. You will pay a little more over the term of a contract to get the phone.

Deposits are involved, as mentioned, where the network are concerned that there is too much of a risk to hand out a phone on direct debit alone.

Are you looking for a 5s or 5c? The 5s stock is much more limited that the 5c.

If you're getting it on PAYG you'd be mad to buy it from a network. There is very little in the price between buying from a network and buying direct from Apple. All the networks have a minimum spend before they will unlock the phone (e.g Vodafone-€127 on the past 6 months).

I'd recommend buying SIM free from Apple and waiting the couple of weeks for delivery.

Thank you!
I'm thinking of buying a 5c because it's cheaper, it's €600 on the apple store, but only €530 on the O2 store PAYG. Should I go for it? I am not on o2 though but I can always change.
Vodafone have not brought down there 16GB 4S yet, it's still €600. Do you think that will come down yet with the new ones out?

Just from the store I'm working in.


All systems are set up to sell the phones on bill pay only to satisfy the bill pay pre orders. I imagine this is across the board/

Ive the 5 since 12 months ago. Am on €35 a month with Vodafone and have 11 months contract left. What's my best and cheapest option to get out of this and buy 5s with new contract from them?

Just got an e-mail saying it has dispatched. Was onto customer care earlier and they were saying that they usually deliver on a Saturday on bank holiday weekends. So hopefully have it tomorrow.

I was looking to get a 32gb 5s on Three in Killarney today.
The 3 store got six 16gb iphone 5s in stock today, but all were pre-reserved. The CPW only got three 5c in stock, and no 5s on the 3 network. Bit underwhelming to say the least.
After chatting to the manager in CPW he said that it was mostly 16gb phones they got in stock, except for Vodafone who sent out 64gb phones.

The 3 store did order a 32gb 5s for me after I completed a credit check, so fingers crossed it should be delivered tomorrow (technically today, Saturday).

iPhone 5S Price Comparison Spreadsheet:



I've been working on this last night, I only got Three, Meteor and eMobile done so I'll be adding Vodafone and O2 over the weekend.

Any suggestions, feedback, etc. is welcome.

I'll be expanding this to the other sizes too when I have time. I think this should be pretty handy when trying to figure out which iPhone plan is cheapest for you in the long run.

Ah my order says dispatched but I said deliver to work thinking it be Tuesday :-(
Wonder would they ring me when they can't deliver as it will be shut

Regarding the spreadsheet it'd be interesting to see what the savings would be made if someone dropped from high to low plans half way through contract.

Out of interest does anyone have any recommendations for iPhone insurers? Thinking about taking out student home insurance and putting it on it but uncertain whether the policy will cover enough scenarios to make it worthwhile...

Wait for the 6. Aside from the fingerprint scanner there is literally no major reason to get the 5S.

I recently went with gadget insurance €6.79 per month which covers theft, water damge and loss cover is included. They will also cover your phone costs if someone's ran up a bill on your phone up to maximum of €100. Cheapest policy I could find but the cover is fine for the cost. They will cover your device up to a maximum of €750.

I checked. Most insurers cover phones to the value of 200 euros. If you buy the iphone 5s 64gb you need to specifically insure it. otherwise if its stolen they won't pay our 900 euros to buy a new one.

I think vodafone do insurance, but its very expensive.

The insurer I was looking at has 3 price brackets, the highest of which covers phones up to a value of €1000 for €130 a year, but will also cover all my other stuff! I think I just need to look at the fine print to see if they cover everything that could happen and won't be a pain in the hole to make a claim off
