Has anyone managed to get the iphone on o2 with unlimited texts?

I'm due an upgrade from o2 on the 22nd. I'm already on a £45 tariff because i tend to go way over 600mins so upped it to the 1200mins a few months ago. The only thing is, o2 only offer 500 texts (on the iphone) and I currently get unlimited. I think i use about 700 but I've had unlimited texts for that long I don't want to have to think about going over my tariff just to send them. I see vodafone offer pretty much the same tariff/price but with unlimited/3000 texts. I was thinking of just ringing o2 on my upgrade date and saying I want them to match that. It doesn't seem like a huge request. Has anyone done similar?

Yep, unlimited texts on iPhone here!
Everything is negotiable. Phone only cost me £30 on a £29 per month (18 months) with half price insurance.

Was that from o2 or somewhere else?

Right, I have just called them and this is what was said. They won't match the umlimited texts to the iphone tariff, the only alterantive is to add a £7.50 500 texts bolt-on. They then said they are launching better iphone tariffs before the end of the month and to call them next week. So looks like I will have to wait a few days.

I did. The bloke there politely said theres nothing else he could do but the new tariffs start before the end of the month. I've had a look on the net and quite a few people talking about a new set of tariffs starting on the 26th feb with unlimited texts and possibly cheaper. I can wait that long.

well it's the 26th and the new tariffs are on the o2 website. Nothing special just the addition of unlimited texts.
