O2: The New AT&T

[drplokta]

Bah, O2 aren't giving existing iPhone users the subsidised price to upgrade to the 3G S until their existing contract expires. And they're charging £15 per month extra for tethering, for up to 3GB of data per month. Hope Netshare still works under iPhone OS 3.0.

Once your contract is up, you can have the old iPhone unlocked and put a Virgin SIM in it, so Marianne can have it on her existing contract. Virgin charge 30p per day for data, only on days that you use it, which is pretty reasonable.

Alternatively, when you get your new iPhone, put the old one on O2 PAYG and then swap SIMs, so that Marianne has the £35 contract rates and you're on PAYG, but Marianne's contract is actually paying for your new iPhone.

ahah! Virgin will deliver data to an iPhone then? Does that work now? Though the previous iPhone is in unlock limbo because O2 won't unlock on the grounds that it never finished the contract. That would work better for S as well.

I don't know for sure that Virgin will deliver data to an iPhone, but they support 3G data, so I can't see why it wouldn't work. Tethering and visual voicemail won't work, and I'm not sure about MMS.
