T-Mobile UK announces iPhone 4 tariff prices
It’s clearly taken them a while to get their calculator working, but T-Mobile have finally released their pricing tariffs for the Apple iPhone 4.
The network is late to the party – O2, Vodafone, Orange and Tesco Mobile already offer the handset – and we guess they’re hoping that the ongoing ‘Antennagate‘ fiasco isn’t going to dent sales too much (we suspect not: iPhone 4s would probably still shift by the bucketload even if a big spring periodically burst out of the back).
Any colour you like
With Apple still struggling to produce the white iPhone 4 in a timely fashion, the new handset is currently available in any colour you like, so long as it’s black.
Apple iPhone 4 16GB prices:
The 16GB model can be picked up for free if you fancy committing to a hefty £60 per month for the next two years (making a total ownership of – gulp! – £1,440), and for that you’ll get internet capped at 1GB, 500 texts and unlimited calls.
Here’s the full lost of tariffs for the 16GB model:
Apple iPhone 4 32GB prices:
The cheapest a 32GB handset can be picked up for is £49 on another beastly two year deal.
For that outlay, you’ll need to commit to emptying your wallet to the tune of £60 per month, and you’ll be gifted 1GB capped internet per month, unlimited minutes and 500 texts in return, adding up to a total ownership price of £1,489.

If you can afford the £500 up front for an unlocked Iphone, and 600 mins a month is enough, you could get an Iphone from Apple then go Sim only.
£15 a month gets you 600 mins plus 500 texts and ‘unlimited’ (i.e. 1gb) internet if you choose that booster. That makes a total cost over 2 years of (24*15)+500= 860 quids.
I reckon that’s about as cheap as you can buy and run an Iphone for 2 years.
The link for that is here. You do need to sign up for 12 months minimum for that deal.

(if the mods can sort this mess out I’d be truly grateful- I’m off to lie down in a darkened room!)
Go for Tesco mobile

12 month contract
1gb internet
If you work out number of months X monthly cost and compare it to other providers you will see that it is cheaper over 2 years to pay a higher handset price. Can be as much as £200 cheaper.
