Hello I’m thinking to go for a iPhone 15 pro max blue titanium 1 TB with unlimited calls and texts plan but I’m hesitated to go for it cuz I have to pay £30 up front then £65.79 monthly and I’m looking on the contract and it’s making me think I just need a explanation about it

Hi @Brandonfrisku What do you need explaining exactly?
The market price for a iPhone 15 Pro Max 1TB is ~£1600. Divide that by 24 Months (Assuming you have a 24 month Contract) is £66.66, almost exactly what you have been quoted.
Bearing in mind these handsets are usually subsidised, you are effectivly getting the phone on interest free credit and the Calls/Text/Data for free. HOWEVER, that cost WILL go up after 6 months as the current deal is half price data (£17.50) for 6 months only, After that it is £35 a month, so bear that in mind in the long term.

I'm sure someone more Knowlegable then me will chime in, but as I read it, you will pay £44.30 for 36 Months for the device itself, and then an additional £17.50 for the first 6 months of the SIM, then £35 for the remaining 18 months. After that you will be "SIM Free" meaning you will be paying for Calls/Texts/Data at a different rate.
so:
First 6 months (Phone and SIM) = £61.80 Per Month
Final 18 months (Phone and SIM) = £74.30 Per Month
Final 12 months (Phone only) = £44.30 + Alternative SIM Plan Per Month
