Nokia Lumia 800. Giffgaff or Contract?

You have two options for buying the Nokia Lumia 800:

  1. The first option is to buy the phone upfront without a SIM card. This means paying £354.49 upfront. You'll then be able to take advantage of giffgaff's super-cheap "Goodybag" packages: £10/month will buy you 250 minutes, unlimited texts and unlimited internet. There are no commitment with giffgaff so you are free to change phone or network at any time.
  2. The second option is to get the Nokia Lumia 800 on a 24 month contract from T-Mobile. You'll get the phone for the lower cost of £50.00 upfront but you'll pay £21.00/month for the next 24 months. This buys you 300 minutes, unlimited texts and 250MB data. You must stay with T-Mobile for the entire 24 months: it is not possible to cancel your contract early.

Over the 24 months, giffgaff (option 1) works out £40 more expensive than taking out a contract (option 2).

Option 1 (giffgaff) » Option 2 (T-Mobile contract) »

If you opt for option 1, you'll need to buy the Nokia Lumia 800 separately.
