No, just 18 month £35 and above, or 24 month £30 and above.


So, did they end your contract or something or just put you down to 18 month then?

Gutted......

...they dropped that great pony/carpet deal you were talking about the other week then?? Shocking......

Ah well...N95'i' any good, in your eyes??

These changes are impressive(about time, too), everyone's really pushing for 18/24 monthers, aren't they(yet the handsets are being superceded every 12, or even less, 6 months)......

p990i(r6d), n82-1(20.0.062)

@ Aware

Yeah thats the problem at the moment, very much an "us & them" relationship between networks & the phone manufacturers. CPW have tried addressing this with thier 'swap it' scheme but not sure how successful this has been?

N95i, I'd say is a worthy improvement over the old model, but existing owners are better off waiting for the rumoured N96 or whatevers next.

The speed increase is the main thing I've noticed tho, very nice and smooth now


Yes, all ponys and carpets have gone, it was while stocks last

When mentioning the iPhone tariffs are the free bolt one for everyone? It doesn't matter when you joined I got my iPhone yesterday and to have unlimited txt on the £35 tariff would be amazing.Also will they be implemented into iTunes or would you select it from the o2 website?

I haven't a clue about the implementation (truth be told, NOBODY who works in our store has witnessed an activation of an iPhone, they simply never showed us, just told us how to tell people about it) but I expect it'll be done via customer services.

And I expect you could add it on by changing to the newer tariffs when they come out, but thats not a guarentee, Apple has caused alot of painful shakeups for us in the way we're allowed to do things, so don't hold your breath.

O2 are aiming to shake up the mobile market with the new tarrifs and i know thats going to happen.

I know have a tarrif that includes everthing in the uk for me and most things when im abroad.

Data is also coming down to £3 per mb (Contract and PAYG) when you are abroad from July this year and if you are on PAYG SMS from Europe will only cost 25p from Europe (Intead of 49p)

I know just hope O2 gets a better 3g network and then it will rival all the other networks with every thing else.

It seems like 02 are doing what the americans are doing as there tariffs looks similar to the ones on t-mobile USA.
