ok so basically the equivalent simplicity tariff to the 18 month contract at £40 per month is £30 cheaper than buying sim free....?
THanks for the spreadsheet by the way!
Pay Monthly O2 iPhone 4 32GB 18 £40 per month £209 handset = £929
PAYG O2 Simplicity for 18 months iPhone 4 32GB £599 handset = £959

Okay, headset prices are released, now we can finally get down to buisness..
WHEN WILL THE PRE-ORDERS START O2?

No, that's what it looks like to me too! I don't think I understand simplicity though - that must be sim only surely? You have to pay full handset price?
What a crap table!
To all that say this is an epicly long thread:

You haven't read the table wrong but considering how the simplicity contract is a sim only plan, i.e. no phone, i can't see how they could heavily subsidise the phone like that. Plus if you looks you could spend £25 for a 30 day rolling contract, pay £209 for the phone and cancel the contract. I cant see how O2 could justify a potential loss of over £300 for a handset. I think they've rushed it out because they scrapped the 'how to eject the micro sim tray' tutorial.
Spreadsheet updated.
Orange and o2 costs based on official released prices, Vodafone based on leaked prices.

Just spoke to O2. I'll lose my 30% discount when I upgrade, but my new offer is cashback, so essentially the phone will be free.
She was a supervisor and she advised two things:
- get your sim
- turn up early (they have ordered plenty of phones and each store will have an apporopriate allocation)

Why would anyone want to go on the SIMplicity iPhone 4 contracts (500MB data cap) and not just get a 3G(S) SIMplicity contract (unlimited data)?
they are not selling it on PAYG on the 24th now
f you re read it it now states "iPhone 4 will be coming soon to Pay & Go but it won't be available at launch"
that table has got to be wrong, surely?
24 month handset prices higher than 18 months....?
what a complete farce all this has been.

Told you o2 wouldn't be doing PAYG from start.
The PLU's never lie.
Orange's PAYG deal is better anyway IMO. As is their network.
