    Is Vodafone & O2 Merging?? 500mb hmmmmm,Iguess only 3 will be offering much better data plans than any network..

    I beg to differ, Three have introduced 500MB limits on all their 24mths contracts now. Bit of shame as they were 1GB before.

    The difference is that O2 are now upfront and clearer about their internet allowance. Removing the misunderstood term "Unlimited" when referring to data/internet, with the limit hidden elsewhere within their FUP or T&C.

    Hopefully we'll get less posts on this board of people outraged for going over the stated limit in an FUP, and then claim to be surprised when charged for going over it thinking it doesn't apply to them because they've signed up to "Unlimited" internet or assuming it was a soft cap/limit because they got away with it one month and not the next.

    This is really unfair i reckon and I for one will be moving asap

    It's really hard to understand the chart. can someone tell 300 min/500 mb internet, how much they charge.

    Yet another reason to buy a Desire now - 600 mins and unlimited texts and data £35. Its in my contract and if they try to change it ground for cancelling.

    I would double check your contract terms again, you may find your data allowance isn't "unlimited". If you're with Orange/Vodafone/Three you might already be limited to 500MB.

    At the top of the page it says
    As a new or upgrading customer, you can get iPhone 4 on an 18 or 24 month tariff. Or, you can choose to pay the full Pay & Go price for an iPhone 4 and choose a Pay Monthly simplicity for iPhone tariff.

    So you if you are going with the Simplicity tariff £15, you will have to get the iPhone on PAYG separately.

    I doubt the new iPhone will be free on anything but the £45pm or higher tariffs.
