New iPhone added...

[lilmonsta]

Hey Tab, you never specified what exactly is the cheapest iphone tariff from o2? Is it the £30 a month one?

I was just wondering, as my usage is fairly high and at the moment I have unlimited mins texts data and vid mins, but I suppose that I could just get the phone, unlock it, put my normal sim in, cancel it after 9 months, and keep the rest of the money sent from giveaway. If the tariff is suitable for me then I could just cancel my current contract and save myself a bundle anyway.

Thanks

Hmmm... I wonder if theyd let me keep the iphone if I signed up to an 18 month contract and then cancelled it paying the cancellation fee

If I have 10 refs on iphone giveaway, can I just order a ps3 40gb instead? Or do I have to move the refs to nextgen giveaway and do it from there??
It doesnt really make a difference, what would happen ?

You can't order a 40GB PS3 on iPhone.Giveaway as that is not an item on there. You will need to move the greens to your Nextgen account and order it from there.

No change in the £10 itunes voucher Im affraid, I can add it to the total for your voucher/transfer if you like.

Tab

Yes please I'll have the bank transfer instead. I've just sent in a ticket requesting one.

Thanks

wow only just seen this thread has got busy.
i've sent a support ticket asking about the 16 referrals that I collected for the 14 refer iPhone a while back.

Cheers Tab

Thats me coming to my 10 business days for lovefilm trials, but none have went green yet. Will allow it for another 2 days, then ill raise a support ticket.

guess ill take the voucher offered and put it towards an 80gb iPod classic.

[lilmonsta]

OK Tab, this is the last question, well two...

I am going to try and go for the 16gb with 18 month contract, can I just have the full amount as a cheque/bank transfer?

And if you do introduce the payg iphone will the offer stated above remain on the site? because at the rate I'm going it could take a few months

Thankss

[Bandicoot]

If I move my refs from iphone.giveaway to another site, and order something, do I have to go through verification again or not?? It shouldnt make a difference really ?

No, you can't get them new anywhere now. You could ask for the cash for a 3g and get an old one off eBay.

[TheDetox]

damn, if i knew old iPhones were gonna go for a bit, i wud have got more !!

[WH1TTY]

hey so you actually send out a locked iphone 3g, (no vouchers)

[Jon]

No, its mentioned in the thread a number of times that you will receive a voucher enabling you to purchase a iphone for free, when you take out a contract with O2 (and if you earn more greens you receive a check to cover the full cost of the line rental to). However if you don't want this Tab is offering a few alternatives.

The reason iPhones cant be sent out is Apple and O2 have an agreement were you can only purchase iPhones from O2 shops, and the Carphone Warehouse.

Wow 9000 posts jon!

Back on topic. I am a little disappointed, I had envisaged getting an iPhone sent out to me after getting my 5 referrals, then either getting a contract or getting the phone unlocked so I could put my current sim in.

I did however think I would have the choice.

I have signed up to giveaway and have 4/5 referrals now, but i kinda feel a bit mislead - and in turn I feel I have mislead those that have signed up for me. As I told them, you could get an iPhone for 5 referrals. This is not a good thing because some of those people are my friends and they'll be annoyed at me and think this whole thing is a scam again!

When I signed up to iPhone Giveaway there was no obvious mention that you would require a contract to actually get the iphone on the website. Now however it says the 5 referrals is for an 8gb iphone with a contract only!

When I saw you could get an iPhone for 5 referrals, I, like many others, rushed to sign up, thinking it was deal of the decade! I knew it seemed impossible to get an iphone for 5 referrals, but as I trusted the Giveaway network as an exceem supported network, I assumed everything would be ok.

If you go to Carphone Warehouse now, you have to pay £99 for a 8GB iPhone plus get an 18 month contract on top of that. So the 5 referrals is only worth £99. I know this is fairly standard, but it's not the deal I thought I was signing up to.

Plus I hate 18 month contracts. Plus I am in a contract til next May as it is.

Once again, if it seems to good to be true, it generally is.
