I did say in the original post that it was based on 3GS prices, but using the latest tariffs from O2.
All info is really appreciated but your posts are frequently peppered with comments that border on smugness. Even going back to when the iPad was being released.
Just an observation.
Anyone know how the network transfers your mobile number to the micro sim. Does that mean the normal sim doesn't function anymore
Unlike the previous posters comments you don't need a pac code unless your going between networks lol
It's called a sim swap, just get a micro-sim delivered or picked up from a store (when they have them) then they will just swap your contract from big sim to little sim. Good times
Thanks for the headsup, not sure how I've managed all these years without knowing.
Now to the issues at hand.
I reckon all the networks barring 3 will have almost identical tariffs and handset prices, seems that this is all set by Apple in a roundabout way.
Sure we'll know in next few days.
Yep, It has been down a while now but that could just be for daily maintenance.
they will probably take payment when the device is sent out
probably gonna be a first come basis on initial stock so get in quickly lol
I've been a following this thread with some interest, however, as a noob I have a question regarding activation of the iPhone4. Would it be at all possible to buy a PAYG handset, insert the microSIM that is supplied with it, but on activation in iTunes enter my current (non iPhone contract) phone number? Would this be a viable workaround to get my number associated to the microSIM and iPhone? Or, would I need to have my carrier 'officially' transfer my number to a new microSIM? Any thoughts.........?
It wouldn't work I'm afraid.
You will need to contact your carrier and register the MicroSIM with your old SIM information.
Your number is associated with the sim not the handset. Only the carrier can change the number associated with a sim.
Your carrier would need to transfer it. You can type your existing number in but it won't do anything incoming calls won't get through and outgoing calls will come from the new PAYG number.
