He wouldn't have known. So being billy big b****cks isn't really helping.

Re: O2 Forever ? (Nope, its coming to Orange)

Why say they aren't then. If you don't know don't say. Simple.

Aren't you a happy man

Re: O2 Forever ? (Nope, its coming to Orange)

Ben, do you know what the tarrifs will be like on Voda, ie data, wifi deals etc?

 

[MikeC]

Re: O2 Forever ? (Nope, its coming to Orange)

Galzzly, it aint gonna happen on Voda until early 2010 - I'd suspect very similar tariffs to O2 as it'd be controlled by Apple to some extent....

 

[Galzzly]

Re: O2 Forever ? (Nope, its coming to Orange)

That's fine by me Mike, my contracts not up for upgrade until next March or so anyway (I'm already on Voda, if that makes a difference).

 

[Needster]

Re: O2 Forever ? (Nope, its coming to Orange)

Did I hear correctly that Orange will have it (legit) before the end of the year? Quick movers.

 

[MikeC]

Re: O2 Forever ? (Nope, its coming to Orange)

Galz, you're sorted then mate!

Orange will definitely have it before the years up... I reckon November, but definitely before Xmas.

So, Voda have the 3GS, Orange have the 3G, I reckon T-Mobile will get just the 3G also

Wasn just going on your 'We won't be'

Wonder what everyone getting the iPhone is going to do to the price of contracts
I moved from vodafone to 02 just to get the iPhone and I wouldn't move back. Vodafone suck IMO

 

[172Ben]

Re: O2 Forever ? (Nope, its coming to Orange)

No idea of prices or tariffs yet. Apparently wont be released until december time.

 

[Revels]

Re: O2 Forever ? (Nope, its coming to Orange)

They'll all stick on similar tariffs because they'll have to heavily subsidise the phone.

But they might get slightly better minutes/texts but don't expect free iPhones and £15 a month deals.

 

[Budgie]

Re: O2 Forever ? (Nope, its coming to Orange)

Brilliant..

Great news for everyone, imo.

 

[Hutchie]

Re: O2 Forever ? (Nope, its coming to Orange)

iphone is rubbish anyway. way over rated

 

[Needster]

Re: O2 Forever ? (Nope, its coming to Orange)

Hutchie, you've got a 2G, they were good back in the day.

 

[Alan]

Re: O2 Forever ? (Nope, its coming to Orange)

So vodafone reckon its going to be avails with them from eary 2010..i guess i'll be buying a 16g 3GS to put my vodafone sim in when they are released.

 

[AK]

Re: O2 Forever ? (Nope, its coming to Orange)

Aye once it's released on Voda i'll be getting one too.. Best network i've used tbh.

Alan thought you just got an N97 on voda?

 

[Alan]

Re: O2 Forever ? (Nope, its coming to Orange)

Aye i know but i generally change phones every 6 months or so, i deliberately never went for the iPhone on 02 because a package with the same usage as i get on vodafone comes in at £62 a month compared to £40 it was a bit over the top.

 

[BRUN]

Re: O2 Forever ? (Nope, its coming to Orange)

im hopin with some competition the prices will drop, cos at the moment its way over priced IMO

 

[Revels]

Re: O2 Forever ? (Nope, its coming to Orange)

They'll improve but only slightly. Probably better bundles as opposed to better prices.

It's a very expensive phone. So they need to make their money somehow.

If Orange stick them at £20 p/m, then O2 will do the same. Then they both lose a s**t load every month. Anti-competitive laws do apply, but proving it will take time.

 

[BRUN]

Re: O2 Forever ? (Nope, its coming to Orange)

im expecting Orange to beat O2 on price

 

[sneeks]

Re: O2 Forever ? (Nope, its coming to Orange)

I may shift from o2 to Voda next year when my contract ends, coverage in Scotland is superrior on Voda.

 

[Brand86]

Re: O2 Forever ? (Nope, its coming to Orange)

I heard that Orange are going to be rolling these out towards end of October, no details on prices yet, but expect a war!

 

[AK]

Re: O2 Forever ? (Nope, its coming to Orange)

Sure i read somewhere Voda will be offering them to folk renewing contracts first? Dunno if there's any truth in that!

Anyway my Voda contract ends Jan 2010... woohoo iPhone time !

 

[Revels]

Re: O2 Forever ? (Nope, its coming to Orange)

Lol @ everyone getting excited.

Yeah, get an 18 month contract 6 months before the new one comes out.

 

[Galzzly]

Re: O2 Forever ? (Nope, its coming to Orange)

I was thinking that yesterday actually, but I've not heard much news about a new version for next year.

Although, tbf, I haven't been looking out for it either.

There won't be much info, only a few rumors leading up to the event.

Re: O2 Forever ? (Nope, its coming to Orange)

YIPPPPPEEEEEEEE Orange finally get the iphone, my contract is up at the end of December. Perfect timing. Love Orange.

 

[BRUN]

Re: O2 Forever ? (Nope, its coming to Orange)

how early can you renew with Orange into a contract ?

ive still got 6 months left from an 18 month deal

 

[Brand86]

Re: O2 Forever ? (Nope, its coming to Orange)

Not that early! They will charge you something ridiculous if you try upgrading that early on mate, I would just wait if I were you.

 

[BRUN]

Re: O2 Forever ? (Nope, its coming to Orange)

yea true, pretty sure you can do a month or two early though, they usually ring me

can get £100 for my phone off mazuma though which would cover 3 months worth of contract

 

[lau2908]

Re: O2 Forever ? (Nope, its coming to Orange)

for everyone saying orange will only get the 3g version , its the 3GS that orange will be offering which is ace, not the 3g one, its on there site already

 

[Gib#244]

Re: O2 Forever ? (Nope, its coming to Orange)

I asked vodaphone about the Iphone, and hopefully getting the 3Gs on upgrade, they said there coming out Jan/Feb where Orange are out nxt month.

I was all up for buying the 3Gs yesterday at trafford center, but in the apple shop the girl I was talking to said I might as well wait to see what tariff deals 02, orange and Voda come out with. So I am deciding to wait and see

at the mo I will just use my 3g

You can upgrade 3 months from the end of your contract but the extra 3 months are added onto your new contract.

Re: O2 Forever ? (Nope, its coming to Orange)
