Want to get an Iphone - wanting to upgrade - Help!

hi guys

I have 2x O2 Contracts at the moment:

1. The old Genie Contract - £10 per month - unlimited texts and wap - 50mins off peak everyday [Main SIM] - great tariff back in the day, but i hardly make any off peak calls now and day time charge is 50p per min!!

2. Normal O2 contract - £15 per month - 500mins anytime [Hardly use!]

now what im deciding to do is, canceling Sim No.2 and get Sim No.1 upgraded as i want to keep my number.

i want an iphone so i what i was going to do is try upgrade to that phone for £269 but want to change my tariff to Simplicity Online 25 and pay the extra £7.50 web bolt on.

this will give me 600mins and 1000 texts and web for £32.50

for me i reckon this is a better tariff then the normal £35 one O2 give with the iphone.

so my question is, can this be done?

thanks!

I would've thought so.

Buy an iPhone, and jailbreak it so you can use any O2 sim.

Sign up for Simplicity and port your number across. Ring O2 Customer Services for details of how number porting works between Genie and O2

Buy Simplicity 25 now and you get a web bolt on for free!

You know you can change the bolt on rather than paying another 7.50? Unless you want the default bolt on as well.

Just to let you know, its rumoured an updated iPhone will be out in June, with 3G.

ahh pants

just phoned O2 and ordered an Iphone

£269 for the 8gb

they said i could port my existing o2 number to it, and i can do it all online.

now question is, do i stick to the £35 tariff or change mine to simplicity 25.

Go for the simplicity, its a no brainer imo.

Very tempted by that myself.

Unless you desperately want Visual voicemail or access to The Cloud wifi, then go with simplicity over the official tarrifs.

so simplicity 25 and change the bolt on to web so that be 600mins/1000texts and web for £25

defo seems sweet!

ive just seen what Visual voicemail is and i can do with out it, not too sure what cloud wifi is though

if simplicity can do what the normal £35 tariff can do bar the visual voicemail and the cloud then im going go with simplicity, or is there anything else that it cant do?

thanks!
