Iphone Contract v's PAYG
shawboy07
21-04-2009
I'm after buying a 16gb iphone and can't decide if to get a 18 month contract or go PAYG.

I have worked out the costs and PAYG is £631 for 18months.

£391 for phone
£10 a month for 18 months (300 texts, 0 mins)
£10 a month for the last 6 months for web (first 12 are free)

Contract is £785 for 18months (loads more texts and minutes though)

I would hate handing over £391 for phone though (saying that I would have to pay £155 on 18 month contract)

However the point of my post is:

Are there any difference between the PAYG phone and contract? I understand the hardware is the same but what about the software?

I know the PAYG can't do visual voicemail but not sure what that is?

What I don't want to do is get a PAYG phone and then found out I'm missing out on loads of stuff.

Any advice would be great

From Apple:

See your voicemail.
Listen to your fourth voicemail message without listening to the three before it. Visual Voicemail shows you a list of all your messages — and who they’re from — so you can play them in any order you please.

Other than that it's all the same.
