iPhone 3G is coming soon for Pay & Go

Pay & Go customers can now enjoy all the great features of the iPhone without a monthly contract.

The new 3G 8GB iPhone for Pay & Go will be available for £299.99 and 16GB for £359.99. This also includes unlimited browsing and Wi-Fi for the first 6 months after you activate your iPhone*.

At the end of the six months you can continue to receive unlimited browsing and Wi-Fi for just £10 per month. We'll notify you at the end of the six month period by text and you can easily unsubscribe if you choose to do so.

You'll also be able to choose one of our standard Pay & Go tariffs to use with your iPhone. The more you top-up each month, the more free minutes or texts you'll receive.

:D!

Sell my iPod Touch = Enough money.

I'm gonna replace my 16GB touch with a 16GB iPhone and it's nice they've bundled some free Wi-Fi and 3G browsing! :D I don't know whether I'll stay with it, probably, maybe... As long as it isn't contract.

Yeah, the iPhone has built in Wi-fi so you be able to connect at home for free if you have a wi-fi network and also any wi-fi spot around the UK.

You have to be in that postcode to ring out. For example if you use your phone the most in your house or office, you would use the office post code.

Most modern mobile phones have these features, its not hard for Apple to do it but no, we hardly seen much apart from 3G, GPS, new back. etc. They could of done so much more, but im still a fan of it.

Recursion
25-06-2008, 06:22 PM
And tbh, MMS is a basic feature of even the crappiest/cheapest of phones nowadays.

And they so left 3G out of the original one on purpose, just so they could release another phone and get more money from suckers who bought the original one.

VPSwow
25-06-2008, 06:22 PM
Tbh its more of a business phone. Built in gps, easy conferincing ect. So for some people it would be a waste of money but for others will be a great bargain.

& who needs MMS when you can email it to your phones via the iphone or upload it to your blog and stuff :)

I think £299.99 is quite alot for a phone, and thats not including top up?
If it was £199.99 then I would be getting one but seeing as its quite alot for a phone and it hasnt got the MMS feature I dont think its worth 300 quid :P

If I was going to get a iphone I would look at the original unlocked ones or get the new iphone on contract.

True but I would of thought it would of worked out better for over 18 as most people will either be working or getting funding someway. So they can easily top up. Most people under 18 have a contract these days through their parents. I rather be on a contract then some PAYG rip off.

So your saying going to shop or a bank machine to top up your phone is easier? *I know you can do it online on some networks* I rather just pay my bill monthly, it saves time. It also saves money in ways, but also has better deals for example Unlimited browsing, etc etc.

Business people would get this probly because their company usually pays atleast £20 a month for their phone use. So it would work out better for them :)

If i remember correctly there was a post on digg etc that stated the new iPhone was more expensive than the old one, to be honest the new iPhone isn't worth it in the UK the only fully covered 3G network areas are London and manchester (well 80% of it), Nick mentioned that it was better for someone under 18, sorry but WHAT?! no one can bind on a contract and PAYG, Matt Garner for example is 15 he can't get a job and if even he gets the phone as a present the up keep of it is alot, £10 a month, I am sorry but who spends £10 a month on a PAYG phone your looking at what £30/£40 monthly + the data plan when it kicks in you have to remember on this phone you will realize you will change the way you use it, like I did you will be surprised alot, I bet when it's finalised it will be alot more expensive.

I spend £10 on PAYG? It's down to the use of the user. Some people use their phones more for texts and such. I use around 250 texts, so the 300 texts tariff + £10 call time is perfect for me. I lived like that for 3 years and I'm sure I'll be just fine carrying on like that.

I hate it when people put "etc." at the end of their post when it isn't relevant. You're going to buy a case... etc. What's "etc." about that? Unless your going buy a shield for it...

Well that's 'a guy' at your school. Obviously he doesn't look after his phones. I know someone in my school who breaks the phone, it's their fault. Doesn't mean all my other friends + me break their phone(s) as soon as we get them? :S

He isn't wasting his money, if he wants an iPhone, he can damn well have one! It's his choice, it's his money and it's his preference. If you want something, and you're going to enjoy it, you're not wasting it. Wasting money is when you buy loads of crap you don't want/need.





I'm going to be purchasing a 16GB iPhone on PAYG. I'm not going to be carrying on with u/l data after 6 months. I'll just top up £10 when I need it. :) It's my choice and it's going to my phone. If you don't know the person IRL and it's not going to affect you why does it matter :S

Why are people always mentioning 3G? No one really uses it, it's just there in the corner doing nothing half the time :/ I'm not getting one, too much for a phone that is getting close to basic becauses it misses loads of common features. But that shouldn't stop other people buying one.

EXPLAIN PLEASE - The whole internet thing, is it basically the same as the internet on mobile phones? Where you can access it just about anywhere really, like I could sitting on the bus or in a park or something... But it would mean I could view just about all pages (as obviously you can only load so much on a mobile!).

Or...

Is it the same as the ipod touch where it works based on wifi hotspots?

The unlimited browsing and Wi-Fi deal gives you 24/7 access to 3G speeds (if available in your area, otherwise GPRS I think??) and 'The Cloud' and 'BT Openzone' Wi-Fi hotspots for six months. So, yes, you could sit on the bus and use the net at near broadband speeds in a 3G area.

The iPhone comes with the Safari browser, so it can load basically any page (excluding Flash pages) at near PC speeds.

Okay so, regardless of speed it is basically the same concept as mobile phone internet... that I can access it anywhere really.

Haha that does make it sound a whole lot better!

And I can keep all my normal texts and everything the way it is, so the only extra cost really would be for the net after the 6 months which is worth it I guess!

Lol I need a new phone anyway ;P

I don't think I quote understand what you're saying, but if you went to for example cnn.com on an IPhone it would look exactly like it does on a PC using Internet Explorer, or Firefox. It's full on browsing, not just WAP.

Well the speed of loading can be justified, seeing as it depends on how close you are to a tower, and if you're using EVDO or not. Though when I used Safari on an iPod Touch, I was very impressed by how well it renders pages.

Oh, a Mac Pro? They're just about as over priced as the iPhone in my humble opinion :P.


The new iPhone is only available on £45 a month, free that is.

It's available from £30 but the handset is £99.

Wow, if we were all business men yeah, sure...but this is $80 bucks a month we're talking..absolutely ridiculous. It's like throwing cash out the window.


How is it waste?
To be frank, I can think of some better ways to spend $600.

My reaction to this whole iPhone thing was similar to the reaction of Steve Ballmer..I just laughed..Apple did succeed in making a unique phone, but in doing so they've created an extreamly expensive phone. If you wait a year you'll be able to get a good UMPC with an EVDO wifi mini-PCIE card for the price of the iPhone.

It seems O2 has removed the prices as stated above? :S

I couldn't stand those prices. I use all my £35 contract limit on Flext and usually get close to my internet web'n'walk usage limits. And then you get the WiFi in with Web'n'walk on T-Mobile, so if you think about it, Those prices are total crap

Wooo. Ive got my mate to hold me back one on the launch date in the o2 store in guildford. However im getting it on the £35 contract caus it most suits my needs.

And the states iPhone won't work in the UK.

Plus in america you can't buy it unless you sign the contract there and then. But that would be useless because you don't need an american mobile contract if living in the UK...

Hmm need to decide between an N96 and iPhone. Or some versace sunshades :(

I don't understand the unlimited Wifi though. It should have unlimited Wifi already because when you connect via a wifi spot it uses a completely different ISP the wifi spot is using, nothing to do with O2 :S

Data usage whilst roaming not included. Unlimited Wi-Fi is available at any of the 9,500 Wi-Fi hotspots from our partners The Cloud and BT Openzone (available from 11 July 2008).

There you go :)

BT Openzone wifi spots you have to buy minutes so is that basically saying you get unlimited minutes whenever theres a BT openzone WLAN spot.
