Kopite Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Right my upgrade is due and i'm after some options: I already have an Iphone 3GS 32G which i use my Orange SIM in (bought it unlocked months ago). I'm with Orange and would prefer to stay with them as I get good service etc here and never had a problem with them unlike O2. The upgrade i was offered was with the iPhone tarriff of: 2 year contract £45/month - 1200 mins,500 texts and unlimited internet. (I text a lot so would need a £7.50 text bundle to ensure i don't go over 500) iPhone 3GS 32G £95 If i went for the 16G iphone the phone would be free. The upgrade will just be to sell and looking at Ebay prices seem all over - there's currently a new16G any network iphone going for £697 with 27 bids, whereas a new 32G iphone on any network is £580. I don't have to get an iPhone, just seems like the most likely to get a good price for on Ebay unless anyone has any other suggestions?

Kopite Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 Seem to be going around the £450 mark on Egay too, an option for an upgrade to sell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abz Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 The iPhone will get you the quickest & best deal. Surprised the 16GB is worth more than the 32GB on Ebay. You sure you haven't got your numbers muddled up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You sure you haven't got your numbers muddled up? Na just seems hit and miss between the 16G and 32G, some have Buy It Now prices with only a tenner difference, others £100 differences. Just that 16G one finished at about £700! Was definitely 16G and both were black too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aman00123 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Why don't you just get a sim only deal from orange (on a monthly rolling contract) and wait until you either get bored of the iPhone (which should take ages) or until a new one comes out? The sim only deal will be cheaper - just make sure its a deal with unlimited web in it, used to have this on my 3g until i upgraded to a 3gs. Also the sim only wont tie you in to a 18/24 month deal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeG Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 My contract with o2 is unlimited texts, calls(to any network) and internet for 50 a month on the 3gs 32g, even better is my gf got a 16g iphone for £25 on swoopo.com, couldnt belive it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is purely something to sell on ebay to release some funds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian W Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 At what point did you qualify for an upgrade on your iPhone contract, Ro? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is purely something to sell on ebay to release some funds Ahh ok, the sim only deal would have let you carry on using the iPhone just with a cheaper monthly payment. But if you need the funds then sure get the iPhone off em for free and sell away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted January 5, 2010 Author Share Posted January 5, 2010 Yeah i think i might end up going for the 16g and save the initial £95 outlay and put a £450 reserve on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
