Previously you didn't - when I was looking at the Tesco site, I couldn't see anything to say this has changed.
Got a tip for us?

Is anyone else having issues with iTunes reporting 'phantom' software updates for their apps?
I'm not so sure they're phantoms, or just the store isn't seeing them to update them, as I'm pretty sure I saw an App disappear from the list...
That updates available number is also creeping up...

Well, it does say on the specs that it is only compatible with 10.5.8 onward..
Anyone with O2 who bought the phone but is still using the same contract got their new Micro SIM working yet?
My old SIM is still working still but I guess they're pretty busy!!

My sim still hasn't transferred over. 
It's been six hours now since I requested the transfer to my microsim.
It's been six hours now since I requested the transfer to my microsim. That normally happens when apps are bought on the phone with different itunes accounts to the one used on your computer; the computer knows that an app needs to be updated, but it isn't logged into the right account to do so.
yeah i just assumed it would work, didnt really take notice of the operating system specs. Just seem a bit strange it wont work with 10.4 but will with xp.
situation:
wanted to buy a sim-free iphone from apple, so queued since early in the morning, but got told (by an apple employee) a couple of hours into queueing that they will most likely run out of stock by the time my turn came. so, left the queue and bought iphone4 on o2, with early upgrade offer, and started a new contract.
then went back to apple to buy a case (this is about 3 hours later, still a huge queue), and saw they still had lots of iphones in stock. made a fuss how i was told hours earlier the stock will sell out by the time it was my turn, and that's why i left the queue and bought the phone from o2 on contract (which isn't really what i wanted to do), and asked if i could have a sim-free phone from them, given the situation, and they agreed!
so, now have two phones, a sim-free one and one on new contract with o2.
haven't opened either yet, as can't decide what to do.
options:
- return contract phone for refund, and use sim free phone with the remainder of my contract - this is what i originally intended to do - but looks like it's complicated now, as the shop said they can refund me on the phone, but can't refund the money i paid for early upgrade, they're saying i need to arrange this with customer services, to have that credited to my account - messy
- use the contract phone and sell the sim-free one - the simplest option, and likely to make me a profit, but end up with the locked phone
- ideal option, but not sure if this is possible - use new o2 contract sim in the apple (unlocked) phone, thus having a new contract AND an unlocked phone, and sell the contract phone (which is currently also unlocked, and remains so, until the contract sim is put into it and it's connected to itunes, at which point it would lock - had this confirmed to me by o2 CS). but not sure if apple iphone would remain unlocked if i put the o2 contract sim in it, and also, if the contract phone i'd sell as unlocked wouldn't lock when whoever buys it puts the sim in it.
if ANYONE has read this far AND understands all of it, AND can offer some sensible and constructive advice, i'd be VERY grateful.
Can you not return the contract phone to o2 for a refund (and thus cancel the new contract before it starts) and if they won't refund you the early upgrade fee then it would count towards the final months of your contract. So if you paid to upgrade 6 months before your contract expired at the £20p/m rate then you can just subtract that £120 from your next 6 monthly bills (so if you were on a £35p/m plan then you'd pay £15p/m for the next 6 months).
That way you can keep the sim-free for yourself and use your old contract with it until it expires.
I spoke with someone there this morning and they said online and via phone .. but not sure you can do the contract stuff online can you? .. but I'll phoning tomorrow .. it was sposed to be today but their system crashed lol

Does anybody know what the consequences are if you go over your montly date limit with each provider?
O2
Three
Vodafone
Tesco
Orange - I think they warn you if you go over, constant warnings lead to them giving you slow download speeds for 10 days.
Any help on the others above?

Aaaaahhhh.... so I'll have to log into my SO's account in order to get it to update the apps? I see... stupid home sharing...
Just for reference:
3G on the left, 4 on the right. Again, I say, wow!
but ummm .. the one on the left is using GPRS and the one on the right is using wifi? .. aren't those sposed to be wayyyyyyyyyyyy different????!?!?!
Still not here! as it's past 5pm not sure if they will still deliver to a business address
I went downstairs to the loading bay to ask if they had any UPS packages and they said no. Then the UPS man walks up with my package and I sign for it. Now have it in hand!! I'm sure he'll be at yours shortly... I'm EC3.
Mine's still not working. O2 Upgrade. I requested my SIM transfer at about 11:15 this morning.
Guys....
I turned both my phones off, then turned the old phone back on and it came up 'sim error' so I turned the iP4 on and it activated... so happy
Don't know if it was just coincidence that it activated at the same time as I had done this, but probably worth trying...
Good luck
It's probably been mentioned already but accessories are buy one get one half price at the carphone warehouse. I got the belkin reveal and zagg invisible shield for £27
