New O2 iphone 4 Tariffs released
- Thread starter scoopex

Any iPhone contract taken out before June 24th (even if it's just a rolling simplicity one) will remain with unlimited data (with FUP - i.e. as it is now) even after October 1st.
Any smartphone tariff taken out after June 24th will have unlimited data until October 1st (as a special promotion) and then revert to the appropriate fixed caps after that (at which point the extra data "top-ups" will be available).
In other words the only way you'll be able to have an iPhone 4 with unlimited data that remains beyond October 1st with O2 is to get it on PAYG and be on an iPhone or Simplicity for iPhone tariff that started before June 24. Or get it PAYG on O2 and switch to giffgaff and use their goodybags (monthly PAYG bundles) which will still have unlimited data anyway (and they're cheaper than O2 anyway).
That sucks and I can see a lot of angry customers who will feel they have been conned by O2 when they start to see charges as and when it happens.
Vodafone don't do any unlocking on the 3GS unless you buy out the contract completely and even after that it is not guaranteed.
Hi guys. I appreciate this may have been asked a million times but my question is does any one know if i got o2's simplicity NOW with the unlimited data and bought iPhone 4 sim free would this say unlimited or when the new simp came into effect would it be restricted to 500mb?
Thanks again in advance.

It would stay 'unlimited' although the terms and conditions have always had a 'fair usage policy' in there. Few people seem to have been pulled up under it, however.
O2 Business tarriff
I've had all 3 iPhones so far on day of release or within a few days and will be getting the iPhone4. I have 2 contracts, one for me and one for wife and they are 1 year apart so i always have one phone up for upgrade each year.
I have been looking at trying the o2 business acocunt and noticed that it still offers unlimited data as well as unlimited UK landline calls.
I believe that this is available to individuals, does anyone know for sure.

Slightly off topic...
Does anyone think that the new antenna in the iphone 4 will help improve keeping a good 3g signal on o2? Or any other network infact.
I hate it when they switch between 3g and 2g just by walking a few paces.

to be honest i think unless they have a 6ft extendable aerial add on available the o2 network will always be a pile of rubbish.
If anything, it will make it worse. More handsets than ever, making calls over the 3G network, it will make 3G even more flaky and congested.
If only handset manufacturers could set their phones to drop to EDGE/GPRS/2G when it makes a phone call, it would make life for data/mobile broadband users so much easier
Does this mean there will be a chance for pre-existing customers to opt out of the contract? Surely this is a case of detrimental changes to the contract?
Sorry if this has already been covered I've not read the whole thread!
anyone reading the general new tarriffs on the o2 website would never know about the cap at 500mb (unless they read the fine print, which i doubt many people do). i only know about it because i signed up for iphone 4 updates and it was written there on the tarriff info. i think its cheeky they haven't made the cap clearer on the main website.
o2 are going to make so much more money from us going over the limit, sending mms's, paying to get out of contacts early etc.etc.
sorry i'm just ranting, not saying anything useful, so i apologise.
