That's funny. I literally just hung up after getting my PAC code from them. They asked why I was leaving and I told them it was to switch to iPhone but I suppose it's a bit too soon for the sales operators to have been briefed and details are non-existent right now anyhow. I wonder if they're organised enough to give me another call in a few days, once pricing and tariff details are available, to have another go at stopping me leaving.
I really hope they offer a PAYG solution because that's what I use. I wonder if they'll match the O2 free WiFi and data plan for 12 months. If not then I'll probably switch to O2 anyhow because that's a sweet deal and, given that O2 will unlock the phone then if that's done after the 12 months of free data has expired it's simple enough to move to an alternate PAYG provider if they have a cheaper data bolt-on at that stage - or else just sell the phone and re-purchase another PAYG with the latest iPhone and hopefully get another 12 months of free data with the new deal. If resale prices hold up then that's probably a great way for someone who makes few voice calls to get the latest model every year and never pay any monthly data fees.
