iPhone 16 Plus on pay monthly: compare prices

No upfront costs

We've looked at all of the Apple iPhone 16 Plus contracts available this July with no upfront costs and whittled them down to a choice of the best options for a variety of data needs. Here's what we've come up with:

VOXI's 20GB deal below is currently the best small data plan with no upfront cost:

Unlimited minutes + Unlimited texts +  20GB data (5G) =  £32.10 a month, £0 up front (36‑month contract)

🛈 VOXI reserve the right to increase the cost of this airtime plan annually with one month's notice

We think this 75GB deal from VOXI has plenty of data for most people, without paying anything today:

Unlimited minutes + Unlimited texts +  75GB data (5G) =  £34.10 a month, £0 up front (36‑month contract)

Or if you'd rather just have fully unlimited data to use with your Apple iPhone 16 Plus without paying anything up front, we'd say Tesco Mobile's deal here is your best bet at the moment:

Unlimited minutes + Unlimited texts +  Unlimited data (5G) =  £51.99 a month, £0 up front (36‑month contract)
