I have just gone to get my PAC code from o2 so i can use it with the new 3Gs, I dropped the contract from £35 to £30 and they told me that i will still have 7 months of paying £35 not £30 for the rest of the contract !
That can't be right can it ???? Has anyone else had this ???

Carphone warehouse are getting close to opening pre-orders. iPhone 3G S has now appeared as a link down the side when you go onto the iPhone page and clicking it leads you to: http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/mobiles/pay-monthly/apple-iphone3gs
But at the moment you get page not found.

the 16GB PayGo will be £440 and will be available on the 19th from the Apple store.
Not sure about the price of the 32GB PayGo but it is listed somewhere on the O2 site.

I think he is talking about Simplicity?

You can choose what you need. For example third one down you can configuire to 600 mins, 1200 texts and unlimited web bolt on for £20 a month which is what i'll be doing and then buy a 16gb 3GS on paygo
And I know we've talked about the limitations a few times already. But you will lose visual voicemail, wifi "could" access and is that all?
Because Im in agreement that looks like the best option, keeps you out of a contract!
By moving to the Simplicity tariff does anything else not work on the iPhone apart from Visual Voicemail? You still have VM right and you don't have to pay extra to access it?
With the Web Bolt-on, I take it that doesn't include Wi-Fi hotspots? Anyway to have both as you can have unlimited web and Wi-Fi with the iPhone tariff?

as far as I am aware, with the PayGo you get 12 months FREE unlimited data surfing on 3G and WiFi then after 12 month period, you must top up by £10 per month to keep the 3G data going. You don't get Voice Dialing or tethering on the PayGo.

no voice dialing? this cant be right, its a software feature, not a contract feature...
Think he means Visual Voicemail. I'm guessing tethering will only be available on the iPhone pay monthly tariffs too (i.e. not on Simplicity).
Id assume the tethering hack will still work though?
just not the stupid £15 a month tethering ripoff...
you can drop a tariff but only after 9months of paying the original tariff .. not sure if this helps with your question? .. if you've paid 9 months or more (which would be impossible it's it a 3G iPhone) then you should only be paying £30 per month for the rest of your contract!

Pre-orders due to go up around midday on the Carphone site - the press people say NO PREORDERS FOR THE PAYG.

Thanks, I have decided on the advice of someone else to get it on PAYG now rather than pay out the ret of the contract as it works out cheaper.
But the options on the Simplicity page only allow to select one or the other - not both. Anyway to have both, web bolt-on and W-Fi on the Simplicity tariff?
Click the wi-fi as the free bolt on, add to basket, then select the web bolt on for £7.34 extra.
Your looking at the original iPhone 3G which doesn't come in 32GB. The iPhone 3G S page isn't active yet. It should be here: http://www.carphonewarehouse.com/mobiles/pay-monthly/apple-iphone3gs but it comes up as page not found at the moment.
Been away from this thread a bit. Watching what's going on on twitter, O2 have already admitted that the UK wholesale price they pay for the iPhone 3G S is the same as the iPhone 3G. Hence, they've essentially admitted to raising the price on the 16GB iPhone by nearly £30. There's something very fishy going on pricing wise.
The iPhone should only be about £100 tops more expensive than an iPod Touch with the same memory capacity, that's the way its always been. Which means it should be £265, £314, £383 maximum. Seeing as the £35 a month tariff pays a subsidy of ~£15, the iPhone should be priced on an 18 month contract as free for the 8G, ~£50 for the 16GB and ~£120 for the 32GB.

OHHH RIIIGHT!!! i didn't know you just continue the contract on with a PAYG phone.. lol!
so whats the process? I just go into an o2 store, buy the payg 3gs, take my sim out of my 3g, pop into 3gs and all works fine?
does o2 need to do anything on their end? eg:activate blah blah.. ?
what would happen to my 3g if i didn't trade it in? would that just be an ipod touch? or could someone else use it with an o2 sim?
thanks
