Chrissybh0y

I have been lookin @ iphones for such a long time and sum of the tarrifs that o2 offer are pretty rubbish, what im lookin lookin for is sumthing like unlimited texts, 500 mins and free internet thats pretty mcuh what i get with vodafone right, i would go out and buy a unlocked iphone but they cost more than my holday, just wanna no if u can speak to o2 about a set tarriff or is there sumthing im missing

Very little wiggle room with O2 in relation to the iPhone tariffs. It's a very desirable phone so they can get away with asking for outrageous tariffs and poor prices as people still buy the phone.

I'm paying £31.50 a month for the Iphone 45 tariff. You just need to know the right people (in my case, my brother gets friends and family discount as his company is a corporate customer of O2).

i would like to get an iphone through retentions, would this be possible?!

No discounts on iphone tariffs even through retentions unfortunately.

aww how unfortunate, i might aswell just go and get the £35 one then.

Apple dictate the price of the phone, O2 don't have a lot of say.

ohh ok then, one more question, my contract ends in Aug/September, when could, or can i upgrade to the Iphone, if i wished to do so?!

O2 seem to have changed their policies, I had an 18 month contract and due to my phone breaking at around the 14 month date I called for an upgrade. I had to push quite hard for this and did the usual of threatening to buy out my contract, at that point I was then offered an upgrade to the new Nokia 5800. I didn't take this as I wanted to look at other phones and then didn't get round to it. WHen I called 2 months ago to get the upgrade, they were having none of it. I did the same thing and threatened to leave and they gave me a price to buy out my contract and explained that the policy had changed and that they only offer upgrades in the last month. I was also told that if I did wait a month, as an example that the day I called they were offering 1000 minutes and unlimited texts for £20 a month for current customers. May have been a load of rubbish, but today is my upgrade day so going to call later to see what they offer!

If I don't get an incredibly good offer, I will leave today though. O2 seems so expensive compared to other companies like Orange at the moment. Also O2 seem to have a pretty limited selection of serious phones, it's just Iphone, Iphone or Iphone. There is the Blackberry of course which ideally I want, but the O2 contracts are ridiculously expensive with the Blackberry!
