Being a bit into gadget I can't pass up apple's latest iPhone, but what is the best tariff to get it on to get the best deal?
What I needed to know was, if the larger monthly bills made the phone any cheaper in the long run or not?
Using the O2 pricing I created the table below:

Having looked at this I decided that if your thinking that you only needless than 600 mins, then it makes sense to start on the 75 min contract (you can always go up a tariff).
If you can stick a 24 month contract then the 600 min 24 month contract is the best deal.
