Sorry I meant. I have an O2 18month Contract which doesnt expire until next christmas. I'd like to buy an iPhone and switch my existing contract over to an iPhone one. (If that makes sense?)

I rang up about that. Basically the deal is:

If you last upgraded your phone before September 18th 2007 (which you did I'm guessing if you're due to expire in Xmas 2008), then you can sign up for a new iPhone contract and your existing contract will be scrapped without any fees.

If you last signed a contract with O2 AFTER September 18th 2007 then you have to pay to get out of that contract... or take the iPhone contract out separately.. stupid I know :mad:

Just flog your handset and put the money towards the new contract?

Yeah I'm ok, but I'm saying, say you last upgraded after O2's September cutoff and had 12 months left on your current contract, at £25 a month. That means you owe £300 on your old contract, which you have to pay off whilst also taking out your new iphone deal.
 
200 mins and 200 text iirc. Thats the contract I'm on. I was going easy on the texts and using email but now I'll probably go back to using texts. And 600 anytime minutes is brilliant... its made my day that.
 
that sounds pretty good - i was thinking of buying one at the time they came out but the tariffs put me off. £35 is about the most i'd pay so i guess the iphone is now an option again.
 
I'm glad I bought in to the official tariff now :)

Definitely much more usable!

They're going to sell a lot more to the people on a budget who couldn't live with only 200 mins/texts e.g. the young 'uns.

The original £35 contract was tight, now (with unlimited internet) I think its pretty good value. :)
 
There's a lot more competition for the phone market, and the iPhone isn't shifting as well in the UK as they believed it would. I certainly bought an iPhone with heart rather then head.

They either needed to drop the price (and upset the existing iPhone users) or give better contract terms to make more attractive.

Wrong forum though, everyone is anti iPhone in there. :rolleyes:

Not really, and who cares if they do - I'm secure enough with my own mobile phone decision to not need to worry about what a few uneducated people think. Plus, surely a thread about an O2 tariff should be in the mobile phone section rather than the Mac Hardware section.
