Switching to Note 2 from IPhone 4 with O2-good deal?
Options
Been with O2 for many years, since the IPhone 3 days.
Im currently on O2's £20 per month tariff (1GB of data, lots of texts and calls, which arent really relevant to me as I never go anywhere near my maximum on either).
I can do a 'fast-track' upgrade apparently, although I was told that my earliest upgrade date was in early April this year (6 months into my current 12 month, £20 contract). After visiting a couple of O2 shops this week, it seems I can upgrade now at no extra cost.
O2 will offer me £140 trade-in for my current IPhone 4. The upgrade cost to go to the Samsung Note 2 is £129.99, provided I take out a £32 per month contract giving me the same data, calls and texts as I currently have.
My question is; is this good value? As stated, calls and texts dont concern me- although I would like to get more data (2GB would be great) as I do tether my IPad when out and about.
Im happy enough with a monthly bill around the £30 mark, but Im just curious to know if I can haggle the cost down or more data. Any helpful hints would be greatly appreciated.

Nope.
Look at mobilephonesdirect.co.uk
My note 2 came from there. T mobile on there comes with allowing you to connect the ipad to it. It's unlimited data however comes with fair use which is usually fairly decent to stop you watching loads of video for example. But it comes with bt wifi free. But there are cheaper o2 deals.
But from there sell the iphone on ebay for more money.0
