From the 14th January consumers in the UK will be able to purchase the iPhone on the Vodafone network. This could be a great time for consumers with an old iPod or iPhone hidden away to sell them to earn cash towards an upgrade.

Anyone who pre-orders the handset before the 14th will get free Vodafone to Vodafone calls and free texts on all but the cheapest tariff.

The iPhone will be available on a number of different tariffs ranging from 18 to 24 months in length. The lowest deal will be £30 per month for the iPhone 3G 8GB. In order to get the iPhone 3G for free new customers must sign up to a 24 month contract at £45 month which will include unlimited texts and 1200 minutes of call time.
