Calling o2's bluff...

[Marcus---]

Dont know if ive done the right thing...i phoned them up to upgrade from my current contract 500 mins 600 texts 25 pounds a month, i wanted to upgrade to an iphone but i was told they only do iphone contracts which are specially designed for the iphone which i appreciate but as a customer for 4-5 years i expected them to do something about it. I then asked about the n96, quoted contracts from 3 online for 30 quid a month and they said the cheapest they do was 45 where the phone would be free, said i wanted to cancel and they put up no fight at all...

Although at the end of the conversation she was like so your moving to 3 for 30 poounds and month and the phone is free....im thinking they might call back? or not!?

Help please

You won't get an iPhone contract any less than the fixed price.. might aswell give up on that one

They will probably just give you the PAC.. unless they make money from you, they won't care.

They said they could do me a reconditioned one for 35 a month....i guess its only an extra tenner, i can spend that on 2 drinks when i go out.

Does the iphone live up to all the hype? i really want one

o2 are c***s, my phone was broken 6 times in 8 months so all i wanted to do was exchnage it, and they point blank refused!

I spend £75-£90 pcm on average too,

In the end i had to take out a other iphone contract,

Iphone - epic.

I had a sony w9601 before this, and it was pretty pap too tbh, the touch screen on the iphone is years ahead,

I love it, its awsome.

I got a 16gb in white

 

[Marcus---]

f**k it im gonna pay the extra 10 quid a month!!

f**k the iphone contracts over 20quid more than i pay for less mins and txts.

 

[Marcus---]

yeh but its all about the phone, i think whats swayed me is the fact i was gonna buy an ipod touch after christmas anyway so may as well put the cash away to pay towards the iphone

 

[ben_p]

f**k the iphone contracts over 20quid more than i pay for less mins and txts.

Innit, I was on 1400 mins 1200 txts for £35 PCM on my old contract (6 years with them)

Iphone is 1000mins and 500 txts for £45 lOL

gay,

Unlimited data (proper unlimited), unlimited TheCloud, Unlimited BTOpenZone.

iPhone is 1200 mins on the £45/mo contract.

 

[Tupps]

£15 a month for 500 texts and the £15 credit to spend

If i want to geek it up i just use my laptop.. Phone is for calling and texting imo, not surfing the net or any other funky stuff you guys can do

 

[Marcus---]

is there any major difference between 8gb and 16gb? apart from the obvious memory, no difference in anything else?

 

[ben_p]

No just memory,

Well that and you can only spec white over black on 16gb....(then you could buy a black case like me and cover up the white.. FAIL)

[Marcus---]

Naked, as nature intended.

if white like myself then i'd go for a cilicon one from carphonewarehouse then it stays in good condition and also i'd recomend the iphone as i brought mine about a week ago on the £35 a month and loving it

 

[Fletcher]

I'd pay the extra, 3g iphones are great.
