Mine too about 5 days, even then they sent me out an envelope with no sim in it. You can go into an o2 shop and they will give you one.

I was wondering about this today. What do I need to bring with me, confirmation email etc? Thanks.

Is there any way u can purchase this without the initial £20 top up? Or can the £20 top up go onto my existing Orange PAYG sim card instead of a new one?

iringer It's a computer program which adds ringtones to iTunes, it's not an app and doesn't require a jailbreak.

This looks good. I saw a tutorial of how to do it yourself on youtube but this looks way easier. Have you used it?

Went to the O2 shop today and they sorted me out with a SIM no problem at all. Thanks for the help.

I have used it, it's really simple. If you want to select a bit of a song further along than the first 30 seconds you can drag it to the right and it'll play the 30 seconds (default) which are visible.

When I get my phone I think I will give it a go. Cheers for the heads up with the website. :beer:

Does anyone know how frequent o2 get the re-boxed 3gs into stock on average ? First found out about them last Friday and have phone every day since to check availability!

hmm i'm thinking about getting an iphone at the moment...i'm about to move out so was going to go to O2 for broadband for the new place as I am already a Simplicity customer and dead happy with them, plus you get a discount (7.50 for 8mb instead of £10 month)

Was going to go for a refurb for free on £30p/month contract but gutted as i will lose unilimited o2 to o2 calls (i spent ages to get my other half on o2!)

Had a nosey around the deals and found orange (who i hated and don't particularly want to go with) do 20mb home broadband (inc line rental), iphone 3gs 32gb with 1200 mins, 500 text and the good old magic number (just get the other half back on orange hehe) for £60. Just £11ish more than if i got the iphone 3g 8gb refurb with 300 mins and untltd texts, 8meg home broadband and of course paying BT the line rental.

Reckon thats good leverage to be ringing up retentions? i'd much rather stay with o2, orange drove me mad! i really like o2 !

Hi Darrenb,
They got them in stock the wednesday of the week you called, so you just missed out! People had been waiting for these ones since the beginning of March, so I'd hazard a guess at once every 3 weeks or so if thats anything to go by, although the retentions team cant even seem to tell you when they are estimated to arrive. It's well worth the wait though rather than taking out a brand new one - I saved about £350, on their standard pricing

My head is pickled from looking at iphone deals trying to figure out which option is best for me.

As a small business owner I have the option of getting an iphone through their business package so I went ahead an added the options to my basket just to see what the costs would be:

16gb 3gs new (1st handset free)
600mins ultd texts and data 33.51 p/m
upgrade after 12 months
free bolt on (I chose unlimited landline calls in UK)
£402.12 1st year
£804.24 after 2 years

However when I reached checkout there was a 1 off charge of £50 against the handset. Even still this option looks to be the best for me.

Is there any difference between being a business customer and a normal customer?

Regards,
Rob

iphone 60 from orange
£60 per month
32gb 3GS phone
24 month contract
unlim texts, internet (iphone and Home hub), 1200 mins calls. Free landline calls
replace your home broadbannd BT hub.

Sounds a good deal, considering I'm paying line rental and Broadband to BT of about £37 per month.
