I am so excited because, I took the advice of Grace, and read up about upgrading my mobile phone on Martin’s Money Tipsand when my current mobile phone contract was coming up for renewal I called the ‘Contracts Termination’ department of my service provider as, apparently, they are the only ones who have any authority to make any decisions regarding upgrades and new price plans. I told them I wanted to terminate my contract but was prepared to see what they could offer and after a bit of discussion they gave me over 50% off my present contract which means after 12 months I have virtually paid for an iPhone 4if I buy it direct from Applewhich means, if there are any problems, they will deal with them immediately and I do not have to go through my service provider. Finally if I had upgraded with my service provider to an iPhone 4 they would only offer 18 or 24 month contracts and my monthly payments would have increased considerably. Now I have to learn how to use an iPhone but since they have such great instructors at my local Apple Store atWestfield, White Citythen I can see no insurmountable problems but watch this space as I will probably enjoy paying less and stick with my tried and tested phone that has a few issues on certain keys which seem to have absorbed a bit of the stickiness from my pain au raisins which makes texting hilarious!!




Both my boys are iPhone fans – they are definitely fun, clever and the apps you can get are incredible. My only criticism of it is that it is very smooth and not very ergonomic to hold. However, husband and son disagree with me about this, so you may well too.
