    What's the new tariff supposed to be? All I've heard their doing is their exisiting iPhone tariffs.
  • it is something along the lines of £20 / month on a 12 months contract ;

    a comparison chart can be found here via google : http://www.itproportal.com/portal/news/article/2009/12/11/o2-orange-tesco-mobile-others-all-uk-iphone-monthly-tariffs-one-page/

    There was a thread on here about it. It started on Monday 14th December. £20 a month on the 12 month contract, £320 for the 16gb phone, £407 for the 32gb, included call time equates to something like 300 minutes @ 20p or 600 texts @ 10p. If you ask me, it's a pretty average offer.

    There was a fanfare about a £20 12 month contract but if you look online they are only selling payg phones at non-exciting prices.

    They're getting stock of these both on pay as you go & pay monthly in their stores now

    I should know as I bought a 16GB 3GS on the £20 pay monthly one today (although mine was on a Staff Tariff :D which is amazing value)
  • What Data usage you get for £20 a month deal for both wifi and 3G net ?

    If bought on pay and go from tescos can it be unlocked for O2 sim usage?

    What's the staff tariff like?

    Annoyed me that iPhone wasn't available as cheap as a lot of phones were on the O2 staff tariff (i'm ex-O2 customer service)- only 30% off (£31.50/month over 18 at the time - whereas a few decent BlackBerries, etc were available for £20 with loaaads of mins and texts)

    You can but it'll cost unless you jailbreak it I think

    For the £20 per month one I'm on it's £90 credit to use a month as you want, instead of £60 which IMO is great :D

    went to O2 shop to check if O2 simm would work in iphone bought from Tescos. He said simply buy and iphone and buy O2 pay and go sim from the shop then top it up with £10 and off you go for free 1 year's worth internet and wifi...

    Can someone confirm please.
