One question iPhone/iPT thread.

Re: iPhone Q&A DONT START ONE QUESTION IPHONE THREADS. **POST HERE**

What's the deal with iphone 3G insurance? I've just noticed that when I upgraded my phone that my insurance wasn't upgraded with it as it should have been. Just phoned 02 and they're changing it for me and it'll be £10 a month (I was paying £5) but I've just been reading that some people are paying £7.50 a month iphone insurance with 02. Has it gone up or what?

I always found more problems than I was happy with when I jailbroke my iPhone so I prefer to keep it standard.

I only pay £7.50. If you are on iPhone payg then it's £10 per month or if you opt for premier insurance on the iPhone.

EDIT:

Looks like they have increased the cost as I'm on o2 premier insurance but only paying £7.50 per month.

I broke my 1st one somehow. But Apple replaced it FOC so its all good in the hood.

I'm on Monthly. That page you linked to does say it's £10. PAYG customers have to pay it in advance (£120). I guess they put the price up since you signed up.

According to this: http://www.o2.co.uk/insurance £7.50 covers you up to £300 and £10 covers £300+ How much is a new iphone 3G?

Yeah I'd edited my reply already, looks like they have definitely changed it as they are valuing the handset at the PAYG price. £7.50 per month was steep, £10 is a rip off.

Maybe you should query your insurance. Looking around online you can't buy a new iphone 3G for under £300 so according to their insurance page you wouldn't be covered if you had to claim.

No it's ok, if you already had the iPhone cover in place before the recent increase it will remain at £7.50.

Do you know when the price changed? I got my iphone at the start of January but they didn't upgrade the insurance like they said they would at the time.
 
Re: iPhone Q&A DONT START ONE QUESTION IPHONE THREADS. **POST HERE**

didn't want to start a new iphone thread...

Ever since me and my g/f have had our iPhones last November, we have never ever had a clear phone call on them? There seems to be a bit of interfearance (sp) and sounds muffled!? It's very annoying as we can't just have a normal conversation without going "what? Say again" after every sentence! Signal bars are strong, we were both with Orange before and phone calls were clear... Is it O2 or the phone?

I love the iPhone (apart from not being able to forward texts) but as a "phone" it's sh1t!!! Anyone else have this problem?

I've not had either of those problems with both my iPhone 2G or 3G.

Two quick questions:

Which case?
Which car charger/holder/connector - with dual usability as an incar phone and GPS system?

Any recommendations out there?
 
Re: iPhone Q&A DONT START ONE QUESTION IPHONE THREADS. **POST HERE**

It doesnt work as GPS. Its not quick enough and if someone called you, you'd lose the GPS program.

I dont bother with a case so no idea on that one.

Clear as a bell for me. Maybe a problem in your area? Not sure how these things work.

In live in the West Midlands, still the same where ever I go? Its really frustracting!?

Anyone else have any problems? Is your iphone as clear as any other phone you've had before?

Yes it's very clear on all calls.

Just using the google maps function is enough - i meant using the GPS ability not sat nav. But cheers anyway, it does confirm something I thought - that it is runs one package/app at a time not concurrently.

I went for an airjacket. You can barely tell it's got a case on. The back stops it getting scratched, and the protective film is perfect, you can't even tell it's there! I did have them fit that in the Apple store though, so it's on perfectly.

I'm sure it's not the most protective case ever, but I just wanted something to stop me scratching the back of the phone, as I leave the phone sat on my desk most the time. Some people have complained that the case scratches! f**king t***s, I'd rather the £25 case, than the phone!

Google maps works great as a sat nav solution, I've used it several times in the car without any trouble. The gps runs perfectly and is able to keep pace with the car, the only issue you'd have is when in a area with no data connection.

maybe a silly question but do all the Iphone tarriffs come with free o2 to o2 calls?

Did you get it in black or clear lee?
 
Re: iPhone Q&A DONT START ONE QUESTION IPHONE THREADS. **POST HERE**

I dont have anything on mine but I think the Mk1 metal back is a bit more resistant to scratches..

I might get one when I get the new one.

I bought one of those for the original iPhone 2G but never actually got around to using it. I decided that spraying my iPhone with water was not for me :D

I'd suite like to buy a less bulky case for my iPhone 3G rather than the one I currently have.

The one I've got would be ideal for you then mate. It's not going to protect it if you drop it, but it stops it getting scratched in your pocket etc.

another random question...

I've heard that if your sim card doesn't have something like "3gp" at the end of the code on it, it won't work with 3g on the iphone...can you guys check your sim cards and let me know? as i've just spoken to O2 and they said any card will work aslong as it's an O2 (obviously he wasn't going to mentiong getting it unlocked lol)

My only concern is how easy it is to remove the iPhone completely from this case whenever I am in the car as otherwise it will not fit in the holder.

If you still have your old phone, and can either use it over wifi or as normal then I'd do it this way, it's f**king quality too.

http://www.google.com/mobile/default/sync.html

I used that to sync my entire contacts list from my old N82 with gmail, then back to my iPhone. I did have to edit some of the number details though, as the phone doesn't show "Others", but that was easy to do on a PC.

Another ace app from Google. :approve:
