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?

Well I am seriously underwelmed by the new Iphone - I guess its the current version for me...........................possibly

How come? The new version is everything everyone expected it to be surely? Higher capacity, better camera, few tweaks here and there.

I'll be getting one as i'm currently sporting a £25 Nokia 2630! My other phone died a few weeks back!

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.

Simple maths really
