The best Three deals in the January sales
1. Half-price iPhone 12 Pro Max with unlimited data for 6 months (lifetime cost: £1,596)
Save £228 on Three's unlimited data plan for the iPhone 12 Pro Max. The mobile network will slash 50% from the first six months of the plan, meaning it costs just £38 per month; then from month seven the plan costs a heftier £76 (but let's face that when the time comes). There's a £99 upfront fee to fork out for but you'll get unlimited data, texts and minutes, as well as Three's network perks.
The Pro Max too big? Well, the iPhone 12 Pro has benefitted from similar treatment. Get unlimited data and the first six months of the contract half-price for £32.50 per month (and then £65 per month). Buy now from Three
