    If you find yourself in a fair fight, then you have failed to plan properly


    I've only ever been wrong once! and that was when I thought I was wrong but I was right

    There is likely to be a new model in June.

    PayandGo on O2 is very good as well and there is no data limit and you get access to BT Openzone and The Cloud wifi points.

    Everyone has their own experiences, I have always found O2 to be very good and their customer services better than most others.

    There will still most likely be a new model in June though.

    According to a Vodafone Retentions guy (who rang me for the 2nd time trying to get me to stay!), he said the new Iphone won't be released until next January ;)

    This could be more Vodafone Bull**** (and more than likely is), but the fact is that saying a new one will be out in June (or saying more than likely) is just a pure guess and speculation.

    Fact is, not one of us knows when the new one will be out and what features it will have....

    And as the OP says, you can wait and wait for the next model up all the time....but why spend your life waiting :beer:

    Same applies there too....Pay and Go will be more extortionately expensive than the current one is also :o

    Hi Darren thanks for taking the time to respond, so i can browse the all sorts of pages but say, downloading apps will cost naturally?

    Downloading apps will also come out of your 250mb bundle, although any cost for the app itself will naturally be charged to your iTunes Store account.

    If you go over your 250mb bundle in one month, then you would be charged £4.00 per mb for any further data usage, whether this is browsing the Internet, downloading apps, etc.

    Hope this helps.

    eek. £4.00 per mb... i'm just tryng to get it in perspective really.

    is getting an iPhone on pay and go gonna cost me a fortune to run? haha...it's so nice not being tied to a contract right now but there certainly are benefits to having a contract.

    try O2 instead

    Twelve Months of included O2 Web & Wi-Fi Bolt On for new iPhone Pay & Go customers
    This offer is only applicable to new and upgrading O2 Pay & Go customers who purchase an iPhone on Pay & Go from O2.
    Customers who purchase an iPhone on Pay & Go from O2 must be using the dedicated iPhone SIM provided at the time of purchase in order to receive the twelve months of included O2 Web & Wi-Fi Bolt On.
    The O2 Web & Wi-Fi Bolt On will be active within 24 hours of the customer first topping up their dedicated iPhone SIM. Prior to such activation, data usage may incur additional charges and is not recommended.
    The twelve months of inclusive O2 Web & Wi-Fi Bolt On only applies if the customer continues to use their dedicated iPhone SIM in the iPhone. If O2 reasonably suspects that the customer has removed the dedicated iPhone SIM from the iPhone and is using it in an alternative device or are not acting in accordance with the terms of this promotion, O2 reserves the right to impose further charges or disconnect the O2 Web & Wi-Fi Bolt On at any time, having attempted to contact the customer first.
    At the end of the twelve month inclusive period the customer will automatically start to be charged £10 per month for the O2 Web & Wi-Fi Bolt On. We will send the customer a text communication before the end of the twelve month inclusive period to inform them that their inclusive O2 Web & Wi-Fi Bolt On is coming to an end and give them advice on how to opt out if required.
    Should an existing customer within their twelve months inclusive O2 Web & Wi-Fi Bolt On period upgrade to a new iPhone from O2, they will forfeit any remaining inclusive months. A new twelve month inclusive O2 Web & Wi-Fi Bolt On will commence from the point of upgrade, as outlined in clause 4.
    Standard O2 Web & Wi-Fi Bolt On terms apply. See https://www.o2.co.uk/terms for details.
