iPhone 3G PAYG Question

My 16 year old daughter bought a PAYG iPhone 3G with her first month's wages from her Xmas job 2 months ago. The plan was Pay and Go Talkalot which allows, subject to the fair use policy, unlimited wifi and web access for 12 months.

Since she has bought this phone her use of text messages has exploded. This meant that we needed to change her to the Text and Web plan - this gives - Tier 1 - £10.00 to £14.99 monthly top ups - 12000 UK texts OR Tier 2 - £15.00 or more monthly top ups- 12000 UK texts and 500 MB GPRS data. It doesn't give free wifi.

My question is - if she just tops up £10 per month will she continue to be entitled to her 12 months unlimited wifi and web access which came with the original plan or has the Text and Web plan totally replaced the initial plan, meaning that she needs to top up £15 per month for web access (without wifi)?

  • iPhone (When you buy the phone) comes with 1 year's free data + wifi services to connect to BT Openzones etc... No matter what tarrif you are on :)

    I have a iPhone on PAYG. I have the text and web plan also. Sometimes i do top up more than £10 and i get an extra 500mb of wifi added to my "unlimited" wifi & internet.

    text and web is available to everyone as long as they no other free minutes/texts

    web and wi-fi is automatically available with all new iphones

    the pair can run together
