If you're in the market for
an iPhone 5, then you probably already know that it's going to set you back a
fair bit of cash. It's a great phone, fast, sleek and stylish, but the basic
version will cost you £529 as an unlocked device. Of course, you could get a
deal by signing a contract with one of the many mobile phone providers.
Signing
a contract tends to mean that you get a hand set for a cheap up front price,
which is great. However, you will be paying for that phone with monthly installments
on your phone bill, and over the course of a two year contract those installments
can add up to far more than the actual cost of the phone. Even though you will
have to pay more money up front, you can end up saving money by finding the
best pay as you go tariff that you can.
This
means that you'll be paying the actual cost of the phone, and then paying only
for the calling minutes, text messages and data that you actually use. So we've
found you the best pay as you go tariffs around at the moment. And not only
that, but all these plans come in at under £500, which is cheaper than the
price of the unlocked hand set, so they really are great deals. A cheaper alternative to paying over £500 for a high-end handset is the PAYG route. Here we bring the four latest PAYG deals from the main providers. These

messages and 50 MB of data usage. You can also choose one of a variety of
benefits, including Vodafone Top Up which gives you 1000 free calling minutes
to other Vodafone numbers, or Passport which lets you take your UK price plan
abroad with you when you go on holiday.

With
Three Pay as You Go you get the phone and £15 of credit for your five hundred
pounds. That includes 300 calling minutes, 3000 texts messages and unlimited
