3G coverage with O2 in NI is extremely poor! It works in the dead centre of Belfast but is dead within a mile outside!
I could never get it at home and I'm a mile or so from City Hall!
TBH i rarely ever see 3G....Not sure what Vodafone is like on 3G...only changed from them to O2 because of the iPhone exclusivity back in 2007
Can I ask this question please, sorry if it is stupid, I am just very confused over O2 and their change from unlimited to capped data.
If I take out an O2 Simplicity deal before June 24th with unlimited data, will I keep it for the duration of the contract? If so, I have my PAC code ready and waiting and might as well do that now and then pic up an iPhone PAYG from O2.
Thanks

O2 CS are giving us mixed messages. Some store staff and CS staff have been informed that this new allowance also applied to Simplicity, i.e. all tariffs.
I'm on the iphone simplicity 600mins and 1200 txts UNLIMITED internet, mms takes 4 sms's, rolling for 30days all for £20
Just phoned and they confirmed in October there will be NO change at all. Apparently o2 cannot change my tariff as we've signed the deal even unless i change tariffs, o2 can't back out of the T&C according to the rep.
lucky me!
anyone in the same boat?

I've been with O2 for donkey's years but I am thinking of jumping ship due to Voda's 1 gig allowance.
Generally, is there much difference between their 3G coverage in the greater London area?

Mum went into Phones 4 u and asked about it, and they said put a five pound down if you want it next week.
I'm looking to get an iPhone within the month - not the release date.
From Phones4u can you get any contracts on what networks, and saying that would that mean it would that mean I can get any of the tariffs the networks have offered?
Also openo2 is looking unlikely as I see it right?

Not sure if its already been posted, i remember it being discussed but not concluded. If you buy a pay and go iPhone from the apple store it will be locked. It says at the bottom of the order confirmation for those who preordered for delivery.
"An iPhone purchased at the Apple Online Store with the Pay & Go service from O2 can be used only with an O2 SIM. Should you choose to return your iPhone for any reason within 14 calendar day remorse period of receiving your order, and you have activated your iPhone, please read your contract with O2 for any refund you may be entitled on your credit.
An iPhone purchased at the Apple Online Store with the Pay as you go service from Orange can be used only with an Orange SIM. Should you choose to return your iPhone for any reason within 14 calendar day remorse period of receiving your order, and you have activated your iPhone, please read your contract with Orange for any refund you may be entitled on your credit."
It mentions nothing about the other networks but i imagine they will follow suit.

Looks like it's O2 for me then - not loving the data cap but probably won't be a big deal in the end. Cheers mate!

my iphone page from apple says this,
Your new iPhone. Direct from Apple and ready to use.
When you purchase your iPhone from the Apple Online Store, youll get it SIM-free. So you can sign up for service with the carrier of your choice and change your carrier at any time
Buy your iPhone from
Apple SIM-free.
It works with the carrier of your choice.
Buy your iPhone from the Apple Online Store and choose your own GSM carrier. You can change carriers at any time.
so i dunno what your looking at...

yeah me but i don't want to pay £600 for the handset so i'l probably get one of the new contracts
I'm pretty sure that applies to the 3GS when it was available on PAYG.
Note is says ONLINE STORE - you can't order PAYG online from Apple, you've got a confirmation for an order of a sim free - unlocked phone.
I wouldn't panic!
Aye... to be honest I'm waiting to see but here's hoping!
I went online to check my previous bills to see how much data I've been using... I could definitely do with having unlimited!
Not personally, but I've read about quite a few people in the past who did and there were no problems.
That's interesting. Might be worth getting a simplicity plan before launch day!
The cynic in me tells me this might not be entirely true though... the contract period is only 30 days and surely the T&C apply only to that 30 day period and can then change at any time. Hope I'm wrong, but this is taken from the T&C:
Included Unlimited Wi-Fi and Web Bolt Ons for iPhone Customers only
The Unlimited Wi-Fi and Web Bolt On is included at no extra cost for customers connecting or upgrading to any iPhone tariff until further notice. O2 reserves the right to withdraw or amend this offer at any time on reasonable notice. Participating customers will receive 30 days notice via text message if changes are made to their disadvantage. Excessive usage policy applies see Data Bolt Ons terms below.
yh thats right it comes unlocked, it even says on the apple iphone 4 website, that might happen for the orders after 24th june when the networks get them aswell but for the current pre orders they are sim free so i guess im 1 of the lucky 600,000

I said what i was looking at...the email i got confirming my pre-order for delivery at the bottom.
That's the tariff I've been on since January. Was considering changing to the £15 12 month one, but noticed the change to a 20p charge for MMS, and the 300mins would be a bit close to my usage so I decided to stick with my current £20 one.
im loving how no where on the the apple site it says the bumpers will protect your iphone ;p cosmetic apprently ;p
That absolutely sucks. The F&F discount is the only thing keeping me tied to O2 at present. If i lose that at the Apple Store on Thursday, then i might as well change to a better suited network with more flexible data plans. What a crock!!
Hey thanks,
I changed the contract to the iPhone Simplicity plan...I got the word from them that nothing so far will be changed for unlimited data
