Free data

Vodafone sweeten the deal further by lobbing in free data for a year if the handsets are bought before November 2010, with 250MB per month included in the PAYG package, and a further 1GB of Wi-Fi per month coming courtesy of BT Openzone.

“Customers asked us to make the iPhone 4 available on pay as you go, offering them a variety of ways to pay for their mobile internet access,” says Mark Bond, consumer director for Vodafone.

The phones are available via Vodafone’s website, UK stores and telesales.
