Cheapest iPhone discussion

Pap bligh, my first reaction would have been so you get overall better value for money in terms of unlimited web - however, as you already have unlimited web, now I'm not so sure. I think your best bet would be to speak to o2 direct and see what they have to say for themselves, they may have their reasons (like your current sim may not be compatible with the Iphone, but how true this is I do not know).

Hi Ive been offered my friends 02 Iphone 3g. Ihave an O2 simplicity contract and O2 want to charge me more for an iphone contract. Does anyone know the difference? I already heve unlimited web. What do I get for my extra money?

I presume visual voicemail and higher cap on the 'unlimited' web. Anyway the prices are the same for non-iphone data contracts and iphone contracts.

Yeah keep with the simplicity, for 12 months it's £15 a month-absolute bargain if you can source a cheap iPhone or already have one thats just come out of contract like mine will be

I suppose that there is no problem in getting Iphone Simplicity if you didn't have the Iphone from them?
Just checking...

Did they say that your current SIM is only compatible with the Iphone or something? Why would you have to take the Iphone contract?

Worth checking but I have read that people are using blackberry SIM contracts in their iPhones and not having any problems, although the internet usage is under question...

Tesco twelve month deals are Martin's best buy in the article on the main board. :money: I worked out it will cost an average of £27 a month over two years for a 3GS 16GB if you switch to an O2 SIM only at 12 months and get a little cashback.

1. There seems to be disagreement over whether the handset is locked, Tesco use the same network as 02 and some people say they are able to use 02 SIMs in the Tesco handset. You can certainly get it unlocked at the end of twelve months.

2. After the twelve months is up you either carry on as you are and start paying for your data usage (expensive if you use it outside a lot, cheap if you mainly use WiFi) OR go onto a Tesco or 02 SIM only deal which again includes data. Bear in mind the phone is constantly linking to GPS and updating your e-mail so uses data even when the phone is idle.

3. Don't bother with the 3G, IMO it is a false economy. The new software comes out in June and not all features will be supported on the 3G iPhone, my guess is the 2011 update will do even less for the 3G. By the time you are ready to get rid in, say, two years time the 3G handset will be four years old!! :eek: If you don't need a handset immediately you could wait until June for the new HD iPhone to come out, at which point the 3GS will be substantially cheaper and the 3G will no longer be manufactured (probably).
