That's right. Any O2 sim will work on a Pay & Go iPhone. If you get the £20 tariff you'll still get the unlimited web bolt-on that you get on the iPhone Pay & Go tariffs. You just won't get the free wi-fi. However, it's been said that if you sign in at one of those hotspots using the Pay & Go number to sign in it may still work (when you use the hot spot for the first time, stick your Pay & Go sim into the phone and sign in... it'll register the phone's IP i think and from then on you can use your simplicity sim and sign in using your Pay & Go number... hope that makes sense!).
My contract ends at the end of the month so I rang o2 today and asked if I could move onto Simplicity for iPhone. It was no problem at all, I thought I would have to get a new sim and port the number over but I didn't, they just changed the contract over.
Visual Voicemail stopped working almost as soon as I had put the phone down, and when I left my wifi network I noticed I didn't have a data connection but I restarted the phone and it all started working and is still working fine at the moment. The voicemails I did have saved in Visual Voicemail have gone and got replaced by a new voicemail. But it all seems to be working fine now.
I have done some digging and it seems Visual Voicemail will work when an iPhone contract has run its course and gets changed to Simplicity for iPhone but it doesn't work if you just get the normal Simplicity plan.

Mine contract ends on the 11th Feb....Ive not contacted O2 yet. So best bet is phone O2 202 from your iPhone? Is that free?
Ask to speak to retentions
Ask to be put on the new iPhone £20 deal? With VVmail etc.
What about insurance? Iam currently paying 7.50 per month.
Appreciate any advise

I called 2302 2 days ago from my iPhone. Menu options 2,2,1,2. Explained I wanted to go onto the iPhone Simplicity 20 package. He asked where I'd heard about it, so I said O2 online forums and that was fine. VVM is working fine, and the new tariff shows up in MyO2 as active.
Can't comment on insurance as it's not something I bother with.
hey - has anyone been able to move from an iphone pay as you go onto the new iPhone Simplicity 20 package ? my free 12 months web and wifi is about to run out... cheers
