Some questions regarding the Iphone 3GS

Basically i want to get my girlfriend an iPhone for her birthday. I was hoping to pay less than £100 for the phone and was thinking a refurb might be best. Where would be best to look for a handset?

Also, she is on a 24 month o2 contract with her current phone which has over 12 months to run. Will she be able to use this sim in her iphone? would she be able to get the unlimited data/wifi bolt on added to it?

The phone id most like to get is a white iphone 3gs 8gb.

thanks for any help

    You're joking right?

    EBay. Plenty of peeps will be selling 3GS in order to fund buying an iPhone 4, but £100 is optimistic. They never made an 8Gb 3GS, so budget closer to £250 for a 16Gb base model.

    >Will she be able to use this sim in her iphone?<

    So long as it's unlocked or locked to o2. But a standard o2 tariff won't get some iPhone features like Visual Voicemail.

    >would she be able to get the unlimited data/wifi bolt on added to it?<

    You should be able to use the MyO2 web-site to see what can be added at what price to your current contract
