Ashley Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 He was hoping to just buy a new iPhone but keep his contract (I believe) and I'd imagine they'll only send out microsims to those who are getting new contracts...although I suppose if you bought an i4 straight out they'd send one...surely? Although you're aware that regardless of your current contract come October unlimited data is dead yeah Shorty?
Will Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 Well registering interest on the o2 they say they will be sending out microsims at some point between now and the phone coming out. So I assume they have no issues in people transferring onto a microsim. At the end of the day given a choice between picking up £20 a month on a sim only contract or nothing because the user has gone to another network they'd be mad not to.
Jon Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 Just get them to send you a micro-sim then? Don't see that this is an issue at all. Exactly. You can transfer everything over from a normal sim to a micro-sim anyway.
Shorty Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 I didn't know that was the case if so, I'm not worried. Only thing bothering me now is O2 failed to unlock my current phone with no explanation....

Shorty Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 A lot more details have surfaced on the iPhone 4 Tarriffs, answers a few questions http://shop.o2.co.uk/new-iphone/tariffs.html finally know what I'm doing
That Guy Posted June 11, 2010 Posted June 11, 2010 Orange sent out emails saying they will contact people on the 15th when you can pre order. I'd think it would be very stupid of O2 to risk losing customers by not offering a pre order now. If they don't I'm gonna go with Orange as long as they are similar on price etc.

As for what that guy says, o2 will definitley be offering preorders on the 15th. This whole thing to me seems insane, this is an iPhone, not the second coming of Christ, they're going to be very easy to get hold of no matter what exactly it is you want from your contract.
Sheikah Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 Just got a new and shiny iPhone 3GS and loving it. It was on one of the cheaper 12 month Tesco staff tariffs I made a topic about previously, but only just got round to getting it. The number of things I can now do has just increased by over...9000!
Shorty Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 Isn't this exactly what Ashley posted a little while back? It is, but there is more information on there now about upgrading etc
dazzybee Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 I'm in a weird position, because I need to wait ti the end of June to get my broken iphone through the insurers. I don't know what they'll swap it with but the iPhone 4 will be out by then so I expect a 3GS 16GB is what they'll give me. Fine as I only have a 3G so it's an upgrade. Now I'd rather go on them excellent simplicity plans; but I want an iPhone 4. So I really need to know how much a 32G is going to cost; how much I'll get for the 3GS (actually this makes no difference whatsoever) and think about the best plan... I reckon if you can afford to buy an iPhone 4 outright, then it's probably best to do so.
Shorty Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 A week or two ago I was hoping to get £3-350 for my 16GB 3GS on eBay. But the closer we get to the iPhone 4 the more I expect that to drop.
Ten10 Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 (edited) I'll outbid ash and give you 6. Could do with an app debug unit. Edited June 12, 2010 by Ten10 software keyboard typo
Ashley Posted June 12, 2010 Posted June 12, 2010 Of you people selling your old iPhones (any version) how much are you looking for? My mother is considering one but I doubt she'd pay more than £250 (and if you think you can get more from that elsewhere fair enough)
Charlie Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 Apparently the leaked Orange pricing. Haven't had a look at it yet, just about to. Vodafone pricing seems pretty reasonable, thought it would be more than that!
Shorty Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 I am more interested in the cost of the PAYG handset on it's own. Hoping for something nearer £400 than £500.... I expected the prices to be up everywhere by now.
McPhee Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 Gonna contact Vodafone at some point this week and see what they can offer me upgrade-wise. Not too fussed though, so if they can't twist my arm then I might pick up a Dell Streak. Don't want to increase my line rental, but I'm happy to shell out for the handset. Not sure they'll bite though tbh.
Eddage Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 My 3GS battery died by the time I finished work yesterday, it would usually be at about 70% (yes it was fully charged this morning). Coincidence or a part of Apple's diabolical plan to have my phone die right before the iPhone 4 is released?! :heh
That Guy Posted June 14, 2010 Posted June 14, 2010 Orange prices don't look very good at all do they. Not impressed to be honest if they are their prices.

Not sure they'll bite though tbh. I'm curious to do this, not really interested in changing my phone that much especially with the price they'll probably quote me for the upgrade.
Charlie Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 (edited) £499 for the 16GB and £599 for the 32GB models from Apple. Only black available at launch. Spreadsheet to work out the cheapest options which I've just made up quickly. No O2 pricing on the actual phone itself yet as far as I know. --- Bloody hell, just seen the American pricing. $199 for the 16GB and $299 for the 32GB. How can Apple justify such a big difference?!

Shorty Posted June 15, 2010 Posted June 15, 2010 (edited) And the Pre-Order Add to Basket button doesn't work yet x_x Bloody hell, just seen the American pricing. $199 for the 16GB and $299 for the 32GB. How can Apple justify such a big difference?! That's with a 24 month AT&T plan, the UK one is for the handset on its own. Still... it is a big difference. Edited June 15, 2010 by Shorty
