They better not put the prices up. They better put the prices down it is as expensive at the price right now.

no you don't have to put money in the phone every month but if you do you get a better deal i think
The six months' free data offer is the clever bit, since that reduces the incentive for the phone to be unlocked (that is if it can be unlocked) for at least six months - you would lose your free 3G data allowance as a minimum if you used it on another network.
Also it makes the £299 price tag seem more reasonable as well, especially for very occasional phone users like myself
It is very clever.
O2 have definitely done their homework with this.
O2's damn website wasn't displaying that as it hadn't refreshed
It's still not showing any prices for me, just:
Also, if I get another phone on an O2 contract can I just pop the sim out and use it in the PAYG iPhone?
Try refreshing the page, or loading it in a different browser, it did that for me earlier.
No idea. It might be worth asking, they might also let you upgrade to a new contract early.
I think I may be stupid, that o2 link doesn't show any prices.
if you click on the pay monthly bit and then the tarrifs thats also not working, something wrong with the site me thinks
keep up i said that nearly an hour a go
Yeah they have been on the macrumours forum and have read how people were happy with the pay and go prices and will now bump up the prices further
Yeah, for some people it isn't working yet, including me earlier, but it is there. Try refreshing or using a different browser.
No - it wasnt a dream .. go here for evidence folks ....

If they faff about and renege on this deal then what hope for O2's integrity in the future?
I know their Customer Service used to be THE worst when I had my XDA Exec ... a few years back - I was going to get the 3G iPhone and come off T-Mobile ...but now .. not so sure ... at least TMobile have excellent back up service ... anyone had recent of O2 and whether theyve improved after sales on the phone-help side over past two years?
I know it couldnt have got any worse at least!

Yep, so if I get the O2 home 100 bolt on, for £9.99 pcm & top up 1p I would get 100mins any time plus 300 txts anytime (cos iam over £10pcm). Then after 6 months I would pay the extra £10pcm for the data.
SO for £479 over 12months I would get a 16GB with 100mins, 300txts pcm & unlimited data? Not bad.
Not quite.
For PAYG, you can only use the iPhone bundle. You cant buy the iPhone on it's own and use your own 02 PAYG sim, it has to be the one supplied with the iPhone and on the iPhone tariff.
Also, minimum top up is usually £5/10 so you cant top up '1p' as you suggest. Either way, that wouldn't work regardless.
As a side note, 02's Website is no longer displaying the prices for the PAYG iPhone or the tariffs on the contract.
Dun dun dun!
I have been an O2 customer for years and have experienced them at their worst! I currently have 3 accounts with them, and a dozen business accounts (business is handled by a separate unit and you get treated like God!) and in my opinion their service is now great. I have also in the last few years had Vodafone accounts, Orange accounts and I have one account with 3, O2 is by far the best service. The iPhone has its own team offering support and they are all very eager and friendly. It might go downhill as the iPhone gains in popularity though, of course!
