To be fair, any phone I get here I buy and own.  whistle:

So the phone is not under contract from the telephone company ? they just charge me CY?1 per month for the SIM.

So while ?free? phones are not available in the long run it works out significantly cheaper.  cloud9:


Five years ago I bought myself a 'phone "on offer" for ?15. Pay as you go variety. Never spend more than ?2 a month on calls, often half that. No point in having all the gadgets, I wouldn't use them.
I used to have a handle on life but it broke.

I don't think any of us have one - we don't fit the demographics.

I won't touch i-anything. Brother Wench who is the family authority on all things gadget related doesn't rate them and seeing as he is the only one with enough cash to buy them for me I am in utter agreement with him.  lol:

It would be better if apple hadnt made a total balls of the set up. Its things like no bluetooth which means that you cant have a handsfree kit for it which will bugger up using it in a car, the simlock set up they have where they are actively taking legal action against any individual or company that has figured out how to unlock the phone to all networks because they are after exclusive deals with certain providers. Every other mobile company accepts that if they release a phone on a limited number of networks then some bright spark is going to crack it so why not apple?

Because they think they are too big and too clever for their own good is why.
