Ha! Exactly same plan as me will be taking a long lunch to pop across to Victoria Square - going to see Pearl Jam the night before so not too keen on the early start plus I figure it gives a few hours to guarantee everything will be running a bit more smoothly.
There is no way that iTunes can transfer a tarrif from one sim to another. I think the two options are calling o2 or filling out an online form.
I'm wondering the same thing, I'm with Vodafone and I've got a feeling they'll not budge even if I say I'm going after 10+ years with them.
I guess it spends on how much you like taking someone to the picturesQuestion is, do I want 1GB of data, or Orange Wednesdays.
Shy bairns get no sweeties and what have you got to lose?
That said, I think the chances are very, very slim. A major reason is that both fixed and mobile networks are having trouble with the amount of data people are accessing and are looking to reduce it.
Slightly off-topic, I also read one article suggesting that Ofcom might stop mobile and fixed networks from using the term fair usage as its increasingly misleading.
heh yeah the old days (two whole years ago...)
There are already loads of "interesting" listings on eBay - especially the ones that "guarantee" you a white iPhone 4 on the 25th of June...
I was specifically asking him about the bolt-on... he said that wouldn't work anymore, but I can't see why it wouldn't. He said I would need to use the Text & Web Pay & Go tariff... but Your Country suits me much better.
dunno who to go with, I'm thinkin voda or O2 I'm after a 18 month contract for £30/35 max dunno what to do
they said it would be fine and all i had to do was bring my current phone in, however that was on the day reservations went live and sicne then people have said there apple stores arent going to allow o2 upgrades : / not sure what to think
Ok cool, thanks! Still haven't made up my mind about what method I want to take yet, it's annoying O2 are holding out on PayG prices for launch

I was just thinking the same, but then what do you do after the 18 month? either get next years iPhone 5 when it's only 6 months to iPhone 6 comes out, or go onto SIM only for 6 months, which'll probably work out more than the 24 month contract would cost you now. Tricky decisions.

they're not holding out, they've stated it won't be on payg at launch
btw the way the "sorry wtf?" wasn't meant to be mean towards you. more like "WTF O2 >.<" ahah
apologies.but im so glad you were talking bout the bolt on. I actually cancelled my web&wifi bolt on today, i was going to consider keeping it, but as i'm with text&web i can get the unlimited texts - unlimited web for £15 whereas i'd be paying an £25 to keep the bolt on, no point keeping it if i have unlimited web. i dont use the wifi (bt openzone...mainly because i can never get it working haha)
looks like my plans still good to go then
chopped up a spare sim an tried it in a spare phone there and works perfectly so i'll be doing the same to my current sim if i cant get any micro sims from o2 (to transfer my current number/tariff over)o2 site says iphones will have micro sims in them. You then go to a page on o2's website and type in your phone number and new microsim number and it will transfer your number.
People, where did todays O2 Micro Sim info and confirmations come from?
Like the 1st 50,000 people who registered get one on mon/tuesday and the fact all o2 stores will have them for free?
I've read through all the pages for todays posts but there were no sources...
Thats GREAT news if all confirmed!
Thanks

Just requested PAC code from O2.
Firstly they asked why I was leaving so I pointed out the 500MB of data for the iPhone 4.
They then said theres nothing they can offer on that at the moment as the handsets aren't out but he could reduce my tariff to £10 a month in the mean time.
I said dont bother as the phones out next week so not really much point but may be scope for others later to get more data out of them?

I was thinking of doing the same, if i request a PAC code but decide in the end to stick with o2 it dosent mean i have to leave does it ? as i dont want to have no option.
T-Mobile are being such a bunch of jerks. I had a laughable experience in my local shop where the guy in the shop tried to convince me, in quite a bullying and condescending manner, that no UK network was going to be issuing micro-SIMs. I then pulled out of my wallet a micro-SIM with Orange branding all over it that I'd just been given (OK, that was an iPad data-only SIM, but the guy was too stupid to know the difference and we all know that other networks are issuing the real voice/phone ones).
I still think that T-Mobile have the best PAYG data deal, and I am with them at the moment so it would save me a PAC operation by staying, but they've p***ed me off so much that I'm going to Orange.
