Default i want an iphone, but before i buy..

I am on o2 Pay & Go, i will not go onto a contract!

  • Is it possible to have unlimited internet on o2 pay & go?
  • If so what bolt-on / number to phone etc.
Whats the cheapest price on a 3G Iphone now?

What good apps are there for the iphone?

  • sat nav always a good one when lost.
  • any third party programs anyone can suggest?
Not going to pay more than £200 for a iphone. I think i seen an ad in the mirror other day, £165 for an iphone pay & go, which made me wnt to look into buying one as the price has dropped.. is this true?

My cousen has a iphone 8gb, had a play with it, its pretty neat, altough he is on contract and i am not interested in a contract, but i do want the unlimited internet on my Pay & Go unless it would be pointless having the phone imo!

any help guys??

Not too sure about that... the cheapest brand new pay & go iPhone I have seen (officially at least ... not ebay or any other of these unlocked contract phones) is just shy of £350. The official payg phone comes with a SIM card that gives you 12 months free unlimited 3G data, but after that its a tenner a month. You have to use the new SIM too so you cant use your old one if you're already on O2, although you can transfer your number if you're prepared to be without network signal for up to 48 hours.

Contract is going to be the best way to go.
PAYG = £350 ish for the phone. I used to use 15 quid a month top up, so over 18 months thats £270. £270 + £350 = £620.

Contact = £34.26 a month for 18 months = £616.68.. but you get all the data for the extra 6 months compared to PAYG, and all those minutes and texts included too.

As for applications ... jail break it as soon as you get it! There are so many official and unofficial applications around that do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING! Its pretty amazing. Actually I have nearly run out of space on my 8GB model with at least two thirds being used by apps.

i have never really been a fan of monthly, due to the bill over my head each month. ide rather pay £10 a month which i currently do as and when i need it. although i understand where you coming from with the maths. it does work out cheap in the long run!

yeah i wanted to have it jailbroken, even though i havnt really read up on it, i hear it is the way to go really.

those phones really are the bollox, i thought they wer just another way of tryin to earn money, but they really are good tackle aint they!

what do u use urs for mainly? (proberly not phone calls with all those apps!!!!! haha)
