Hi there

My T-Mobile contract is due to expire on 1st Jan 10. I've been dying to get my hands on an iPhone and now see that O2, Orange and T-Mobile are all in the fray.

So who is best to go with? As I'm with T-Mobile anyway is it better to stay with them and just upgrade? Or switch to O2 as historically they've had the longest relationship with iPhone?

Also want to get the most competitive tariff.

Any thoughts?

Many thanks

    Tariffs are going to be the same no matter what network you're on as Apple are the one setting the costs.
    If you're happy on T then stay with them.
  • Not sure if its true but ive heard orange cap the "unlimited" internet on the iphone but 02 does not.

    Jon01 is correct though, stay with tmobile if your happy with them.
  • what about Vodafone ???

    Cost wise they'll be the same as any other network that carries the iPhone, as stated above, it's Apple that are setting the costs. The networks just do what they're told or they get no more stock.
    Apple absolutely will not have their product devalued.

    Which is why I absolutely will not have one. I'm the consumer. I set the terms, not some multinational cult. :p

    better to go with Orange as the cost is the same but they have the better 3g coverage
  • Orange all the way! Their customer services is on the whole far better than the other mobile phone companies and well... I just like them :p
