When the PAYG iPhone comes out in time for christmas i think this will be the best deal available.

The phone is rumored to cost £299 for the 8gb and £369 for the 16gb.

O2 PAYG UNLIMITED:

£15 topup a month. Activates:

Unlimited Calls to O2 Phones
Unlimited Texts to O2 Phones
You still have the remaining £15 Calltime

Get the unlimited web and wifi bolt on for £10.

The bolt on is taken out of your balance, leaving you with £5 to spend on anything.

Texts are 10p to other networks, on contract they are 12p.
Calls are 20p for the first 3 minutes, then 5p/pm for the rest of the day to other networks, on contract they are 20p.

On the minimun simplicity plan of £15 a month, to get the unlimited wifi, you have to add the £10 bolt on ontop of the monthly fee, working out to be £25 per month. Not forgetting you only get a certain small ammount of texts and calls.

All in all... For £15 PAYG a month you are left with:

Unlimited Calls to O2 Phones
Unlimited Texts to O2 Phones
Unlimited Web and Wifi
£5 Calltime Balance
Cheaper Calls to other networks than Contracts
Cheaper Texts to other networks than Contracts

And you are not stuck in a contract, isnt that good?
 
I agree. I have the 2G iPhone on pay and go and really not that bothered about upgrading, but I suppose I will, just for the sake of it.

I've also been quite lucky - seen as my iPhone stopped working just the other week, I got a brand new iPhone 8gb 2g, pay and go. 3G doesn't work in my area anyway..
