    Does anyone know if you have to sign the contract in o2 or carphone warehouse, or do they just let you buy the phone without signing any contract or activating it instore???

    You have to sign an 18 month contract in which ever store you got the phone from and activate it at home via iTunes, o2 will probably connect your phone within 72 hours.

    I want to sell my old iphone, I have deleted all the content and put the sim in my new iphone, the man in the shop told me it would now be unlocked but I find that hard to believe. Could someone on 02 already use it? I don't know what to put in my listing - any help much appreciated

    thanks

    Did anyone else order from CPW and get an order number but no confirmation yet?

    I ordered mine on CPW yesterday and got an order number email but no confirmation that the order had actually been processed.

    As I've been on hold with CPW for aaaages now, just wondering if I'm going to get an iphone or if they're going to cancel the order rather than confirm it.....

    Went into CPW yesterday and she said there were 2 in stock in the warehouse so she asked for all my details, then the computer said they were all gone. So she said she'd save my details on file and give me a ring today so we could continue with the order and she hasn't rung :( Looks like I'm not getting one for a while eh

    Probably - AT&T said they'll be selling them unlocked for $599 (8GB) or $699 (16GB).

    Add to that import VAT and you're looking at ~£350. O2's supposed to be offering them on PAYG for less than that later in the year.

    Where did you get this info about o2 from? Thing is, it might be cheap to buy the phone but to use the thing for the internet would probably cost a fortune on payg.

    On PAYG you can add a web bolt on for £10 per month:
