Unlock iPhone V2

If I buy the pay as you go version, is it possible to use my normal o2 sim in one of these? Not the iphone sim.

Thanks

hold fire cheif, can you only just use GPRS? or do you get EDGE?

Exchange works like a charm, very cool!

I've sent you an email. But...

Could you elaborate? What did you get working? Mail? Contacts? Calendar?

Specifically, do you know whether you can share calendars on the iPhone like with Outlook, e.g. being able to view your calendar alongside someone else's?

Sent u one back mate, will check shared calenders now.

looks quite basic you can see who's invited to meetings but I can't get to the shared company wide calender no support for public folders so it seems!

How does one find out their phone number on the iPhone? It was easy on V1 but different on the 3G and I'm struggling.

 

[Firestar_3x]

phone someone else that's what I did. Getting my old number ported however.

It will not work though, I would have thought. It hasn't been activated in iTunes due to not knowing the number.

 

[Firestar_3x]

I could call before my phone was activated in I tunes but this only worked after I got some texts from o2.

So you need to Credit / Debit card to buy one if you have a current iPhone / 02 contract?

 

[Spitfir3]

No.
But the contract is good value for money. Why have a device that you will use tons of data on without an unlimited data contract?

I really don't understand people who complain about the o2 contract. It's excellent value.

Yeah but we dont live in the 90's anymore.. I mean, facebook, msn etc? it's all indirectly free. And you're generally gonna be near a computer pretty much all of the time..

And a contract for 1 1/2 years? with the pace that technologys changing...

The Iphone V1 looks good, 2nd hand £100 bargain

 

[ringo747]

Not sure about the unlocking but the PAYG iphone won't be available until christmas apparently so i'm sure it will be unlocked by then!

 

[Gibber]

Sorry if this sounds a bit retarded but how do I access the free public wifi hotspots? I beleive we all have free access to this service as part of our contracts?

Cheers.

When your phone sees "the Cloud", the main page ask for your phone number, put that in.

 

[Gibber]

Ah thanks for that. Wasn't quite sure how it worked, thought it might of worked from a username and password or something, I guess using a phone number is much simpler.

OK... so why do you want a mobile internet device then?
Surely if you want the internet in your pocket then unlimited data is kinda a must?
If you don't want to net part and just want the phone, why bother? There are better basic phones out there.

Just doesn't make snese to me when people want the device functionality but aren't willing to pay for the data tariffs. It's not like they cost a lot of money or anything.

are they only £100 now?

I'm seriously tempted to get another to replace my W910 work phone...

Then I'd be really cool, TWO iphones!!!

 

[kracosmo]

anyone know roughly when the white version will be available ?
