ahh right, thanks
can i upgrade plan if i wanted too?

[lilmonsta]

Yea, you can choose whichever (iphone) plan you like, giveaway just give you a cheque to cover the £30 iphone contract for 18 months, you'd have to pay the rest yourself

[rhysjones_1]

okay thanks

So they give you a cheque to cover the cost of a £30 per month contract?
Does this include all costs for the calls, texts, internet (3g) that you use in that 18 months?
Then what happens when the 18 months end? I've heard you can then unlock the iphone 3g for PAYG then?
But i've also heard that once the contract ends you either extend it for another 18 months or you give the iphone back to o2???
Never used a contract before so i wouldn't know.

Thanks

The £30 per month contract includes, 75 mins, 125 texts, unlimited data and wifi and is and 18 month agreement. If you go over those inclusive amounts then you will pay the difference yourself.

Once the contract is up, you can choose to renew, select a different tariff, or drop a pay as you go sim into the phone and go that way. The phone is your's to keep forever and a day

Thanks for that matt 75 mins and 125 texts is good for me, i only ever text. How would they charge you extra if say you put the money into your bank, then take it out and pay in cash? And how is "unlimited data" judged? How many mbs per month is it or something? Or is it just you can use 3g as much as you want?
Thanks again

Because the iPhone is online most of the time for email ect, they give free internet.

[rider900]

So then i can use the internet as much as i like, when i like, anywhere with 3g coverage? And this is included in the contract?
How would they charge you extra?
Thanks

You have unlimited internet subject to fair use policy. For fair use policy search the O2 website.

When you take out a contract you set up a direct debit and anything over the above minutes and texts is paid by direct debit.

ok thanks, by the way is there an age limit to taking out a phone contract?
Thanks

[mattp1980]

I would have said 18 (90% sure). But if it's not 18, the definately no younger that 16

[rider900]

oh, i hope it's 16! lol I actually think it might be 16 cos i heard o2 won't sell the iphone to anyone under the age of 16???
Thanks (seriously considering this now!)
Paul

[Jon]

its 18 for a contract.

[Ilikefree]

Yep, its 18 as you need to pass a credit check.

[rider900]

Ok, thanks

[Roboraver]

Rider900 I would say still go for it, as you will still be able to buy the PAYG version when it is released in the run up to xmas !!

[hippyharry]

if your in full time employment, they will give you a contract if you are 17. But usually no more than £30 a month.
