Default iphone 5 for less than retail price !

I've signed up for this deal

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/chea...age=4#comments

phone is £399.99 + a 12 month contract of £10 = £519.99. £10 less than retail price !!

I keep looking at thinking it must be wrong ? can anyone else see a fault in it ??

I know the contract is limited but suits me (Its is a 'you fix' plan from t-mobile)

I know ! thats why i posted to see what the Scooby net massive thought . (I got a bit carried away with the 'bargain', before looking really hard at the deal...... e. g. the 'data' is 250gb )

I'll post back when it arrives

thanks for taking the time to reply..

Id say hold off for a little while and they will soon come down with reasonable rates and packages, minuets are not the best in that deal and would imagine they are going to be on the higher side of the cost to make calls outside if allowance, unless you use your free texts to send them "ring me"

There is always a mad rush for new gadgets like when i got my 4s the rush was mad, sat back for 2 months and now have it in a 1000 min unlimited everything else, free calls to other t mobile numbers and landlines etc all for the magic sum of £20 a month

Worth waiting imo if you have the patience

Just wait a while. 250mb is nothing as is the 30 minute call time. Cheap to buy now but it will cost a fortune once you go over your allowence. Unless you are very strict, but then whats the point of having an iPhone 5 in the first place??
