No official word our way yet. Anyone got any info??

They'll have saved a bit by killing everyone's bandwidth allowance so it's a possibility, could be doing with 12 months, 18 months sucks when the longest I keep a phone is about 5 minutes.

Same. Obviously the cost benefits are great but I can't go more than 9months without wanting the newer tech tbh.

Never had more than a 12 month contract TBH. My iPhone 4 contract ends in June just in time for iPhone 5.

Same, Can be pretty hard to get an iPhone contract with them though when they first come out.

There have been 12 month contracts throughout, just not good ones, as you 2 paying £350 for a phone have shown.

I am aware they have been around, as I said I was talking mainstream.

This is the major issue with subsidies is now everyone is used to getting lots of mins/txts/data for less £ I don't know how they will re introduce it tbh. Don't think I would want to pay more than £250 for a handset on a contract basis tho! That said I paid about 219 for Mrs Jambos 32gb iphone4

Anyone seen a Torch or bold on a 12m deal?
