Hi, So i've finally decided that i want an iPhone. i'm looking at the 3GS ones rather than the 4 ones. I've just noticed that Tesco are selling them and it seems to be at a better rate than O2:

TESCO:
16GB £35pm
750 mins
Unlimited Texts
Unlimited Wifi (BT Open-Reach)
1GB Allowence
12 Months

O2:
16GB £35pm
300 mins
Unlimited Texts
Unlimited Wifi
500MB Allowence
18 Months

I know the handset prices do differ somewhat though but can't remember.

So guys, which do you think I should go for? What are Tesco Mobile like? And also, waht does the BT Openreach mean? Does it mean that i'll get charged extra if I use another Wifi thing? or is it the same as O2?

Tesco Mobile actually uses the O2 network, so as Tesco is cheaper, I'd go with that instead of O2!

OK, the phone costs a little more up-front with Tesco, but...

You get more minutes

You get more data

You're only tied in for 12 months instead of 18 months



The WiFi is BT Openzone, not BT Openreach.

It means that you can use Openzone WiFi hotspots (found at various coffee shops, hotels, etc.) for free.

With O2, you also get access to hotspots from The Cloud (well, I assume you still do) in addition to BT Openzone.

I had this very same issue when deciding - and I went with Tesco. More mins, data allowance plus only tied in for 12 months. No contest really!
