iPhone 3GS / SIM Question

Ironic Namesake · 3 Sep 2009 at 14:14

Thinking of getting a 16GB one of these, but the contracts seem a rip off!

Can I buy one on PAYG, and use another O2 SIM card in the handset? I might get a O2 Simplicity contract along with the PAYG handset.

Ordered

I'm getting simplicity because I don't want an 18 or 24 month contract - I'm leaving UK in March next year too.

I have 2 contracts already with Vodafone, plenty of minutes + texts between those.

I live in italy all the iphones are unlocked and you can use them with any sim card

That's only italian iPhones though, in UK they are locked to O2.

I ordered from apple direct on thursday so pretty quick, tried a few CPW and O2 branches over the weekend and everywhere was sold out!

That's what I did too. Ordered Wednesday, arrived today. Should have arrived Friday but UPS mis-routed it.

I haven't bothered with Simplicity though. Just staying on standard Pay&Go for now. I can always switch to Simplicity later if it works out cheaper.

PS - £15 cashback from Apple too.

Ahh forgot to use cashback this time, oh well.

I can't seem to receive more than 1 call at once, is this different on simplicty? Currently using PAYG SIM , as my other one hasn't turned up.

Still didn't receive my simplicty SIM today and called O2 - they were sure I hadn't placed an order at all - and nothing was coming out to me.

Doesn't make much sense ... not impressed with O2 so far :mad:
