    Dont want to sound dim(but i will!) If i get a web bolt on why would i need the wi fi.:confused:

    If you have got a good 3G signal you won't need to use the Wi-Fi.

    Wi-Fi (for me) is really good when at home and using the iPhone when I can't be bothered to put the laptop on.

    It just means that the web runs so much faster for me. At work using 3G most things won't open or when it does takes a good few minutes to. Using wi-fi (I only get GPRS at home anyway) the internet loads so much better.

    Not having the wifi bolt on doesn't mean you can't use wifi at all, just that you won't get free wifi access at Cloud locations .

    Oh I didn't get it that way. I'm having major trauma booking flights so only half reading everything online!

    I'd definitely give o2 retentions a call with regards to it, they seem to offer good deals on sim only. I think the majority of customers on the retention thread aren't happy with the price plans being offered with a new handset too.

    So let me get this right.
    By getting the wifi bolt on just means i would not have to pay in places you normally would(but would still be able to use web bolt on,it would just be slower)
    If i used wifi at home via my own router that would be free:confused:
    Thank so far
    :beer: Am thinking of a new one:beer:

    Thats interesting. I've never thought about this before, but because I frequent airports...in Newcastle it connects to BTOpenzone and asks for a username and password, although I am on a normal PAYM iPhone deal. How would I get hold of these details or is it an extra bundle I need to add?

    Thats weird when I connected to a hot spot for the first time it asked for my telephone number and that was it and now when I connect I dont think it asks for anything.
