Rumoured to be "coming back" to the mainstream.
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.

ive just changed from working in mobile retail to b2b jambo, iirc you work in retail also? We were able to sell 12 month as of the start of this month on Vodafone.
Deals were quite good iirc, 35 a month for 400 mins, unlimited text and 5oomb data

Same, £20pm for 12 months but tbh I got the 32gb and sold it the day it came for over £850 on eBay and stuck the sim in my 3G.

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?
