Well please believe it, because it's true.
And for the millionth time. I KNOW THIS BECAUSE I WAS GIVEN TRAINING INFORMATION AT O2 ABOUT THE IPHONE LAUNCH.
Phew.

Yeah, but think about about it, they affectively don't have to give you a phone because the iphone isn't susidised so there is a saving right there which can be a lot if someone is buying a premium handset like an n95. With the policy that only people who signed up for a contract prior to the 18th of sept by the time the iphone is released means worst case someone still has 10 months left on their contract. However most people knew the iphone was getting released at the end of the year so anyone who wanted one is likely to have a lot less time left.
Also lets not forget the tarrif totally sucks in the scheme of things. O2 aren't paying apple we are with that tarrif. You can get the £35 tarrif without the data for £20 on a normal O2 contract and that includes a free phone!

Leemo, was there any information about PAYG when you were given training? Please share it if you know something about that.
I did not know that O2 released their data plans. Whats this about a 200MB limit though. Wtf.
Im still shocked that o2 can call there Data plans unlimited, with the 200MB fair use policy limit.
Well they can, because it's fair use. They're only going to do anything if you really start to take the pish.

They're still sorting that out. The official answer at the moment is that there won't be PAYG, but behind the scenes they're sorting something.
Simple fact is that a lot of people would potentially fail credit checks, so O2 would have a lot of returns - which they clearly don't want.

But if 200MB is deemed to be fair use, then if I consume say 500MB, is that taking the piss? Because I get a LOT of email... we are old school and multiple copies/versions of documents, spreadsheets, and PDFs go around like there is no tomorrow. Plus I would like to listen to podcasts and stuff on the way to work on the fly using the built in Quicktime controls (save space loading the iPhone with podcasts).
Oh, thanks for the info.
So I just wait see what happen then....I imagine that they would force us to have PAYG with 'unlimited Data' plan or something else...
34 days 05 hours and 48 minutes to go!
I get about 25MB a day of e-mails. in 8 days i will reach 200MB
. If it was 1-5GB it would be ok, but 200MB is just pathetic.
