I got an iphone on pay as you go and a £10 top up.
I spoke to at least three sales people at three different stores before buying and they all said that the first year included a complimentary 3g internet bolt on and that after that it would cost £10/ moth to keep it.
They also said that the monthly top ups allowed unused minuted to roll over, so you didn't necessarily need to buy a top up every month.
My question is:
just what is charged to the top up balance?
Calls and texts, or anything else?
If I use the internet, or read and send emails, or use maps, does that get debited to my top up balance?
Is there a maximum usage allowance per month and after that it does get debited to my top up balance?
Does my top up balance actually roll over each month or not?
I understand that using only the wifi internet at free hot spots is always free like on the ipod touch, but what about the 3g internet that supposedly uses networks like the cloud or bt openzone during the first year?
Is that part of the complimentary bolt on or will it be debited from my top up balance?
I'm not a lawyer, so trying to understand the small print at the O2 website is impossible.
I would appreciate it if people who actually have a pay as you go option in the UK gave me their first hand advice.
Thank you.
