A lonely voice in the 'o2' darkness . . . .
for those of us taking the o2 contract you have to admit the plans avaliabe look VERY attractive compared to overseas don't they?
US is bad. Canada is AWFUL! Why can't the Queen step in and sort this out instead of giving Knighthoods to Kylie!

I have to admit that seeing the other tariffs around the world, we do certainly have the best available. I do wish they would give unlimited texts without having to pay for a £7.50 bolt on, I would be more content paying ... less
.I'm going to go for the £35 tariff, and then will pay the £7.50 for the unlimited texts bolt on, just wish I could get it a little cheaper

While I know we are very lucky with our tariffs compared to the rest of the world (poor Canada), £35 a month - the £30 option being a joke - is just too much for me. I generally need about 250/250 texts/minutes at most, so pay monthly simplicity tariffs are my preferred option. PAYG would be nice but, of course, it's looking less and less likely that they will be available on the 11th.
I lol'd

I'll probably also go for the £35, although if you can still downgrade after 9 months I might do the £45 to £35 thing that others have mentioned.I'm going to go for the £35 tariff, and then will pay the £7.50 for the unlimited texts bolt on, just wish I could get it a little cheaper
Simple question about texts though - 500 bundled texts=about 16-17 per day. Do you really send more than 17 texts every day, day in, day out, 365 days a year? How many more texts would you have to send before the £7.50 bolt-on becomes worthwhile?
At 12p each £7.50 is 62 texts.. so about another 2 a day would make the bolt-on worthwhile.
So the only grey area is between 17 and 19 texts per day. Sucks if you send exactly 18 per day

I know we're lucky with the contract prices, but at least the US and Canada has been given info concerning PAYG!!!
I'm with Orange at the moment, and send on average about 1400 texts a month. Last December I sent 2300 throughout the month, so I think I'd definitely need the bolt on
Haha well fair enough. I guess I really don't text as much as some people then - for me 500 per month is as good as unlimited. I can imagine sending quite a few on one given day, but then the next day might send only a couple. Point being, I will be nowhere near 500 across a whole month.At 12p each £7.50 is 62 texts.. so about another 2 a day would make the bolt-on worthwhile.

That was 77 every day in December! Wow!I'm with Orange at the moment, and send on average about 1400 texts a month. Last December I sent 2300 throughout the month, so I think I'd definitely need the bolt on

good grief!!
I was shocked at the amount as well when I looked at my Orange Best Plan review. But the figures don't lie! Maybe I could use the email function more on the iPhone, but I doubt I'd get replies back as quick as sending text messages!
That was the plan. She does own Canada after all so she should 'step-up for her subjects'!!
Lovely! I may be up for that! Is it a 16giga?
only an 8 I'm afraid
on ebay there are going for £150 upwards I'm sure I can strike a deal for a fellow apple fan
