Here’s the news straight from the Tesco release….
iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS will be available to Tesco customers from just £20 a month, the lowest monthly contract price in the UK market. Tesco Mobile will also offer the first ever 12 month iPhone contract in the UK. Tesco Mobile will be the first mobile network to offer iPhone 3GS 16GB for free with unlimited calls, texts, and browsing, on a 24 month contract, for £60 a month.*
Here’s the schedule…

The release concludes with this statement:
With 42 million shopping visitors a week into Tesco stores, and great value price plans on offer, the network expects consumer demand to be extremely high.
I wonder just how many impulse purchases Tesco will be able to generate…
Is this then the cheapest way to buy a top of the line 32GB 3GS iPhone in the UK. Walk into a Tesco that has one, smack £538 for the phone and £10 for the basic pay as you go top up on the desk and walk out. Would I dare to dream that the phone would be unlocked?
On the other hand, maybe not… After a bit of digging I find that Tesco uses O2… And I can't even browse the O2 store as it detects that I am not in the UK…
