iPhone Tariffs to Be Upgraded (for free)

[MrMoonX]

yeah you can downgrade I just did it now gotta wait until the first of feb to add the unlimited texts

 

[Elrein]

Sweet, got the txt msg today explaining about the change

[Mark JB]

Will new customers get these deals after February ?

I'd imagine it will be standard to new customers after the existing customers are upgraded

 

[Robbie Ragdoll]

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

Awesome was about to ask this very question so thats been really helpful.

Probably gonna buy one this friday then spend the rest of my life polishing it.

 

[Raider]

Ordered mine today, should be with me tomorrow

 

[Rameses]

Yay I got my txt today telling me of the upgrades, to start in feb.

Not bad at all considering I went for the £35 and I am now gonna get 500 mins & 500 txts

 

[Jimathy]

So how easy should it be to change from an O2 Simplicity tariff to the legit iPhone one?

I'm guessing I just restore it back to the state it was in out of the box. Then get started into activating it in iTunes, and somewhere during the signup will be the option to use my existing O2 account sign on.

It's easy.

When you set up the phone in iTunes you're given the option to port an existing number, amongst other things

I feel slightly less of a tool for being impatient and going for the iPhone contract

Not that I'd even use up the 200/200, never mind 600/500

 

[gumbald]

500/500 is much more enticing. I'm due an upgrade, so it might have to be that.

Don't suppose anyone's ever had a deal on the iPhone as an upgrade?

Nope, absolutely not going to happen as far as I know.

 

[gumbald]

Didn't think so! Suppose they'd just direct you to a cheaper phone

Better start saving my pennies then.

 

[J1234]

Hmm.. I am so tempted to go legit with my iPhone now..

 

[Rich]

They are much more viable with this tariff. The problem is though that I would still have to Jailbreak it even on a legit tariff to use all the apps/custome tones I would want.
Annoying really. I just hope the Apple SDK really opens things up to open-source devs. If it is too expensive it will be a shame.

 

[Roalith]

Glad I stayed legit on mine with this tariff

 

[Deleted member 651465]

If the leaked SDK key turns out to be legit then expect a number of apps to surface that'll be compatilble, with no messing about

Then again, I suspect 1.1.4 to be released just before the SDK.

 

[theheyes]

I thought it was 600/500? Not that I'm complaining.
