Re: iPhone 4/iOS4 Info (Read this before starting more threads)
I've just gone through 12 months of bills (online)
I use the phone EVERYday* to browse online, and have only exceeded 500mb once (511487 bytes)
*but, this is mainly at home (i.e. wifi)
Not impressed with having to pay 20p per message though. According to my bill (and that 20p per mms rate) I send between £4-11 per month.

Re: iPhone 4/iOS4 Info (Read this before starting more threads)
i just checked on my o2 account online, the most i used was around 400mb about 2 months ago, due to having no broadband in new house, before and since then its only around 60-80mb, so tbh i dont give a s**t about the capping.
i presume if you take a new contract out on the 24th as an early upgrade offer my limit on a £45 contract will be unlimited p/m. then in october it will be 750mb p/m but i will have the option to add a bolt on for 500mb or 1GB if i need it!?
doesn't seem to be a problem to me?

Ok well upgrade tarrifs are fine then, thank god they're not being dicks.
Now just back to my previous conundrum (sp) whether to "upgrade" or buy PAYG.
I guess I'll do the maths later tonight if I'm bored
I may report back with a conversion table of some sort, to work out if you are better as an upgrader or a PAYG'r.

Data's the same as I get on PAYG. I use it quite abit, including for youtube etc... and my net at home has been down for a month. In 4-5 months, i've used 1.2GB. I only came close once, and that was streaming internet radio at work 3 day's on the trott, aswell as my normal use. Definetly isn't an issue to the majority of users at all.
The fact they've been quite reasonable about it means i'm definetly likely to go on contract, if I can. Just need the handset prices now
PMSL at the pics thing, memories!!

Re: iPhone 4/iOS4 Info (Read this before starting more threads)
spoke to o2 earlier and they said they don't have any of the prices for the iPhone 4 on contracts yet, said they 'should' be released in the next week
just weighing up whether it's worth me upgrading, by my calculations it should be around:
got the 3GS on release date last year so to pay off according to o2 = £220
get new iPhone 4 on £35 a month contract = approx £100
sell phone (32gb) = £300ish
all in it 'could' cost me £20 but thats going roughly by the costs for the 3GS on that tarriff
will wait and see when they release the details and hope they don't want stupid money for it on contracts

There's s**t loads of free apps to use for sending picture messages as data instead as an MMS anyway.
We use Whatsapp at work, as you can't get a signal in one of our offices, but does have wifi, so we can still text each other if need be!

Re: iPhone 4/iOS4 Info (Read this before starting more threads)
Still way way way under 500mb there, 511487bytes = 0.5mb.
Unless you meant 511487kb which is still just under at 499mb.

Re: iPhone 4/iOS4 Info (Read this before starting more threads)
something isn't right here.....
iPhone Simplicity for 12 months - £15pm, 300mins, unlimited text, unlimited data
New iPhone 4 Tarriff 18 months - £35pm, 300mins, unlimited text, 500mb data limit
so there must be a mega discount on the phone for that to be worth while over the simplicity tarrif surely?!?

Re: iPhone 4/iOS4 Info (Read this before starting more threads)
This isn't good for me then
Last month : 2.7GB
this month : 2.2Gb so far, billing dates the 13th lol
might buy the new iPhone out straight and keep my old simplicity tariff if it stays in unlimited data. I'm surprised o2 are going down the same route as orange and vodafone and capping the data.

Re: iPhone 4/iOS4 Info (Read this before starting more threads)
Ok, I'm getting really confused here.
I was on an 18 month £35p/m contract on my 3G, the contract finished so I went onto simplicity. At the time this meant I got a stupid amount of minutes and texts that I nowhere near ever use, but it also meant I still get unlimited data, all for £20 a month. I'm under the impression this is a rolling 'month by month' contract that I can cancel anytime.
I obviously like everyone else want the new iPhone. Whats my best option? I don't mind paying out for the phone upfront if thats the way to go.
Can someone clear this up for me please?
I'd be surprised if I make more than 3/400 minutes a month and more than 50 txt.

Re: iPhone 4/iOS4 Info (Read this before starting more threads)
You've got 2 options really Gareth:
A - Sign up to an 18 month contract for £35 per month and pay for the phone (we dont know the price yet)
B - Buy a 4 on PAYG and go onto simplicity for £15-£20 per month.

You have to work it out and if I wasn't busy at work I'd do it for you.
PAYG is going to cost CIRCA £450
Then look at 3GS prices on bills to give you an idea of what it is going to cost you, i.e 18months at £35 a month to get the same as you are currently, then x amount for the phone, just work out the costs over the year and see which is best.

I'd guess thats what it will be at least.

Re: iPhone 4/iOS4 Info (Read this before starting more threads)
Aye, there won't be 'mega discounts' for pay monthly contracts as O2 know that most people won't be able to justify the initial outlay but will happily pay a high monthly contract price and a lower, if not still comparatively expensive, one-off price.
There is no doubt that the most economically sensible option will be PAYG and Simplicity, but the cost of the PAYG handset will mean people will prefer pay monthly even if it means paying more for the same period.

Re: iPhone 4/iOS4 Info (Read this before starting more threads)
So to summarise:
- iPhone prices have not been announced
- Tarriffs have been Announced - nothing huge but they arent as good as previously
- You can upgrade out of your contract early for £20 a month
- If you are a Blue/Silver or whatever else colour priority customer they may waive this fee.
QUESTION - If I leave upgrading until my upgrade date and dont go for the early upgrade offer, I presume I can stay on my existing (better) tarriff?

Thing is iPhone 4 isn't limited to o2 like it has been in previous years so they need to be careful because if they piss people off then they will leave and go to orange, Vodaphone or someone else. Hopefully now that other networks have it you may be able to haggle a bit more and threaten to leave.
All this depends on what tariffs other networks have as Orange and Voda haven't realised there's yet.
