Orange UK Getting iPhone??

[DannyR]

Well I Googled about getting an iPhone on Orange as I can't get one to work with Three apparently and I want out of Three ASAP as there s**t! And Orange is the only other network I can get signal with at home. Anyway I came across a lot of rumours

http://www.phonesreview.co.uk/2009/05/06/iphone-rumour-orange-uk-to-gain-iphone-3g/

All saying the same thing as that! My Three contract is up in October just ready for this hope its true!!

Also anyone on Orange with a cracked 3G iphone, please PM me as want to ask you a few questions. Thanks

Yeah supposedly orange are getting the rights to sell the Iphone too!

I want a 3g

I'd hope more networks might help resolve the current piss poor contracts that you get on iphone but I suspect not.

There are rumours about it going to Vodafone aswell.

Dont think it will happen though, think it will stay with o2

 

[CrippsCorner]

This rumour has been around for a long time. Definitely possible though as Orange have it in other countries.

Hope so even if it knocked a £5er off the contract a month would be brilliant.

 

[Omid]

Vodafone has it in other countries too, so does T-Mobile

 

[172Ben]

its just in the uk o2 have exclusive rights, as said, voda orange and tmobile sell it in other countries

Seriously Ben? So would it be possible to source an iPhone on Voda and use it in the UK with my simcard??

 

[172Ben]

Just buy one, and unlock it

My cousin's fiancee manages an Orange shop in Wales and she told me that Orange are getting the iPhone in late October/early November but they will be getting the model behind O2 if that makes sense, O2 has just got the new 3GS (I think) and Orange will get the model behind the new O2 one (bit vague on models as my iPhone knowledge is pretty poor).

She also said that to get one free you will need to sign up to a 24 month contract of at least 40 quid a month...

[172Ben]

Agree

I dont think o2 will ever lose the exclusivity

It was more about a orange store manager knowing Apples future plans! :clown:

Exclusivity will definately dissapear at some point.

 

[172Ben]

I think thats more trying to impress there friend with knowledge of something that might not even happen

 

[JD]

Just buy one, and unlock it

Yeah I think that will be on the cards, just buy a 3gs and unlock it for Voda useage, sell this piece of crap.

YHPM.

 

[sneeks]

Orange and Orange employees have been claiming they will be selling the iPhone since shortly after the launch of the 2G handset.

 

[JD]

I heard the same from Phones4U, they also said they don't do Voda?

Trying to cancel your contract with three is laughable. Even when your literally screaming at them after being on the phone for half an hour they still try and sell you another contract!

 

[Tom]

Lol at this really silly thread

Tell me about it, my Mum spent over an hour trying and the stupid Indian woman would not have it! I rung up and put the s**t into this bloke and got hung up on, then rang back and they swiftly done it
