Hey,

I've just been offered:
Free iphone 16GB reboxed
£35/18months but with unlimited texts

Just can't get them to budge on the rebox as they have none in stock. Any ideas? All with O2

is that as a new customer

yeah its o2. i did ask for a new one. they said that at the moment there is nothing they can do on a new one because ive been on a cheap contract the last 18 months. it might change in Feb, it might change it I ring someone else on another day too!

might see if i could get a reboxed 32gb one...

IBTP if you don't mind me asking but what was your previous contract before you upgraded to iphone? mine was a £25 a month reduced to £20.

What contract have you been on for the last 18 months? I was on the £35/month one already.

I think I would like to get an iphone and am considering options. I am only a few months into a two year contract with Orange. I rang Orange and they said my only options were to buy myself out of my contract for £500, or buying an iphone outright.The price for an iphone from Orange is £440, from Amazon its £400, and I have seen some on ebay for £350.

According to Orange (thought I do not have full confidence in their advice), if I buy an iphone outright, I can simply put my current sim card into it and continue on my current contract.

Because I have been with Orange for some time, my current contract includes unlimited texts, 600 mins, and 500MB mobile internet browsing for £17 per month.In my simplistic mind it seems like a good deal if I can buy an iphone for about £400, and then simply insert my sim card and pay £17 per month.

Can I please have some advice as to whether this is a good idea, or if there are any other issues that I need to consider or be aware of before I board the iphone boat in this way? Also, any suggestions as to good deals to purchase iphones outright?

Many thanks for any and all advice.

Hi guys

I'm on a T-Mobile contract that still has a year to run but I want an iPhone. If I get a 12 month Tesco iphone on the most basic tarriff, could I then unlock it and use my t-mobile sim in it?

Thanks,

Has anyone heard of any success stories with bartering with O2 hwen upgrading to an iPhone?

I am near the ned of an 18 month contract with O2, but have been with them for years! I would love an iPhone.... but would also love to lower my tariff.... or at the least not pay to upgrade to an iphone!! Will I get the best deal by bartering rather than going to another network?! Will they buy it if I say I would go elsewhere!

Cheers!

I got an 32gb iPhone 3gs on an 18 month contract, £35/month for free. Took me 8 calls to o2 retentions though.

How can i get discount on iphone 3g or 3gs ? i do not want to pay more then £30/month and use nearly 500 minutes every month.

I am using o2 broadband at home and my wife she is using o2 paymonthly from a long time, is there any way we can get loality discount or some thing. We rang o2 but operator just said NO.

Any way to get discount or any iphone cashback deal available.
