Question re upgrade on O2

[cosmaboy]

hi,

Quick question, I have a Iphone 3G and obviously want the 3Gs, however my contract doesnt end til December. Bummer!!!

However my GF who's contract has ended on Vodafone is going to buy a 3Gs and move her number to O2 and start a new 18 month Pay Monthly Contract, She is going to give me her Iphone 3Gs and have my 3G, now is this possible? will i be able to use her Iphone 3Gs even though its been registered under her name?

I thought that all of the details of registering etc is held on the sim card and not the phone? Will the unlimited data plan work?

Thanks
Mat

yes

Don't see why that wouldn't work.

You realise you could pay off your contract if you're that desperate?

I think that should work just fine - you'll have two iPhone contract SIMs and two iPhones - neither the phones nor the SIMs (or O2) will care which is in which. It's the SIM that is important as far as your number and account are concerned.

you might have issues with any insurance policies you have for either handset though...

You should kiss your girlfriend and then probably marry her. She's a keeper.
