The_Rev Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 If you buy a PAYG iPhone are you sure you can then use a pay monthly o2 simplicity sim? Of course if you do this you can only have unlimited internet or unlimited wifi unless you pay another £7.50 a month for that bolt-on too. So its not really like for like. I might be reading this wrong, but "or unlimited wifi" implies that it is a term of any tarriff you would have to opt into. I would imagine the vast majority of people would have a WiFi network completely seperate from their mobile phone and they are free to use any device on it they wish. There is no way a provider can prevent you accessing WiFi on an iPhone, surely? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he means free wifi as in with BTOpenZone and the Clud, out an about in the city if you like, not the wifi in yer house Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mykeyb Posted June 8, 2009 Share Posted June 8, 2009 Current 3G free on £35 contract - new 3GS £185 plus and then £35 per month all for a slightly better camera, and a bigger capacity which isnt really a problem for me.

Stevo985 Posted June 9, 2009 VT Supporter Share Posted June 9, 2009 That's pretty **** expensive! If I was paying 275 quid I'd expect to be getting a PAYG phone, not oneon a 35 a month tariff. Very pricey! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qwpzxjor1 Posted June 9, 2009 Share Posted June 9, 2009 Holy shit. That IS expensive, even by Apple's standards. I'm a huge fan of the iPhone but even I can't justify paying that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
