Cheapest/best way to buy an iPhone?

I want an iPhone and I'm not entirely sure which model but I've been looking around at contracts and found that it would cost £200 more paying monthly, than it would to buy the phone all at once (for a 4s though o2's website). I need help choosing the best model and best place to get it from etc?

If it doesn't bother you then I would buy the phone elsewhere off contract and pay the full price. If you do that then you can get a prepay plan which will probably be a lot cheaper. I would suggest buying from Ebay that is probably where you can get the best deal and most of the time people are not scammed. I have used it for many things and never been scammed. I would recommend the 5 if you are not too price conscious or just wait around for the 5s that's supposed to be released within this month or the next.

I think cheapest way would be to buy it from eBay https://www.ebay.co.uk/...rmvSB=true

  • What's the cheapest way to get an iPhone 4s? I'm just trying to figure out how much it would cost for an iPhone 4s with unlimited texting, minimal talking and enough data to handle some casual twitter/facebook/google stuff. Any tips or tricks on how to shave down the price are appreciated!
  • What is the cheapest way to use my iPhone while studying in France? I will be studying in France from February through June. I have an iPhone 4s and I'm currently using at&t. I've heard there's a way to buy a pre-paid sim card? The main reason I would like a cell phone while abroad is to communicate with friends in France. I plan on using Skype to talk to anyone in the US.
  • What is the cheapest way to buy an iPhone 5s and Ipad Air online? I don't live in the US so currency conversion rates are killing me if I buy a US $700 unlocked iPhone 5s it will cost me along the lines of $1902 in my currency. If I buy a US $ 800 unlocked 16gb Ipad air it would cost me $2174.In total that's $4076. I can't spend $4000 dollars on just that though I want them and actually do need a new phone and want a tablet. Android is way to haphazard in their approach so to me apple is the best. So why not get the best. I need help.
