Right guys,

I have an 18month contract i took out with DialAPhone which is due to end in September.

Its on 02 and i really fancy an iPhone 3g on a business tarrif after seeing the 3gs prices.

Will i be able to walk into my local 02 shop tomorrow, cancel my contract, get my PAC code and keep my existing number and take out a new iPhone business tarrif?

Or... will o2 let me pay off the existing balance of the contract and sort me out on a new iPhone contract?

What i mean is can i do it all in the shop or will they help me as im an existing customer?

Thanks,

Shep.

Do you get your bills from o2 or dialaphone? If its the latter then you are not an existing o2 customer even if you are using their network.
 
I think I can handle not being able to upgrade from the 3G just yet. My contract expires in Jan 2010. My phone is jailbroken and heavily customised and does a lot that a stock one can't. The main kicker is having to wait a little bit for OS 3.0, to me that has me more excited then the 3GS.

Thanks for the AT&T pic - ring up O2 UK and quote them that pic or any UK operator and see what they say...

What I was expecting (hoping!) O2 to do:
Customer gets the new iPhone 3Gs under the same pricing as a new contract customer, but have the remaining of your existing contract added to the new contract.
So for me that would have been 8 months of previous iPhone 3G contract, added to 18 months of iPhone 3Gs contract = O2 now have me for the next 24 months.

Shame that AT&T are giving a better deal than O2 really for the existing 3G customers :/

You do realise with every other phone (company) you can't do that.

IMO it was only done to soften the blow of the people who bought the first iPhone...

It could be although if you sign upto a 18 month contract. Then theres going to be loads of people who want the iPhone 3GS but need to wait another 11 months as an example for their contract to run out and then by that time ANOTHER iPhone is out so you end up always missing one model.. Hardly fair that.

Again... How is that different to any other phone?
