iPhone 4 Free on Vodafone

[Greeners]

Well my phone is ordered and I'll worry about O2 and the sim nearer the time!

Ive got 2x 32gb phones in black to pick up from my local store.

Is that one for each ear

Looks like they sold through their first allocation. Orders made today will ship on the 2nd July.

Orange have taken the plunge

they wont do anything though, i spoke to them this morning.

the guy on the phone didnt even know they had released their plans yet! ;(

That's a bit sh!t if you get an 18 month contract you don't get unlimited texts on any plan

Tempted just to get a PAYG phone then sell my 3GS!

[vRS Carl]

I'm starting to think the same thing.

At least then I'll keep unlimited data till the end of my contract. Not that I really need it but it's a bonus.

Me three!

But got to a bit of maths first. There are so many variables!

Over 18 months on my simplicity deal i'd save half the cost by buying a sim free phone. Did the same with my 3G! 

It is a big outlay for a phone but by paying £35-£45 per month on a contract you'll quickly get past £500!

It is a big outlay -  I paid £350 for my 3GS a few months ago and to be honest its been worth it as I have a phone that works, gets email and made my life easier again - the previous samsun Omnia I got so frustrated with I wanted to throw it at the wall daily.

I might buy one now and then in October when the Business contract comes up move to o2 and get another - then sell the Orange one.

Right I'm a bit confused on how these micro sims work.

Currently I am verging on just buying the phone from Apple. However how do I get the micro sim from O2.

I spoke to them and they are saying that Micro-Sims will only be given if you buy the phone from O2. So if I buy a PAYG iPhone from O2 are they going to be able to swap my existing sim & no. to the Micro-Sim.

Or will cutting down my current sim work? ( I have a couple of old sims spare to practice on )

Cutting down your current SIM is pretty simple - http://www.techradar.com/news/computing/apple/how-to-make-your-own-ipad-micro-sim-681020

I don't think that's correct, and it certainly contradicts what is stated on their website. I think regardless of how you obtain the phone they are hardly going to stop you from using their service are they.

Or, you can choose to pay the full Pay & Go price for an iPhone 4 and choose a Pay Monthly simplicity for iPhone tariff.
