Iphone 4 - O2 defectors - read this.
 

Dont forget guys that O2 is the only network that supports visual voicemail.

If Visual voicemail is important to you then bear this in mind when switching.....YOU WILL LOOSE IT.

Not really an issue for me... It's not as if it's much harder just to press "3" or whatever to delete the message.

Re: Iphone 4 - O2 defectors - read this.
 

Have you ever used it? It is so much simpler to see a list off all your messages, who sent them by name and choose which one to play like clicking a track listing.
I cannot imagine having to dial 'voicemail' anymore, that is so yesterday.

Re: Iphone 4 - O2 defectors - read this.
 

Yep, I've used it. Losing it is still not a deal breaker though.

Re: Iphone 4 - O2 defectors - read this.
 

what do you mean visual voicemail?

Re: Iphone 4 - O2 defectors - read this.
 

It shows you who left the message, without you having to call up

Re: Iphone 4 - O2 defectors - read this.
 

I'm a bit disapointed in o2. There new 500mb fair usage policy for iPhone is laughable

Re: Iphone 4 - O2 defectors - read this.
 

500Mb a month on a phone is a massive amount! unless you tether of course. I've had my iphone 3gs for a year and still only used 448Mb over 3G. how often will you not be near a wifi connection you can use?

Re: Iphone 4 - O2 defectors - read this.
 

Their coverage is rubbish. I'm going to move from them. if anyone ever called me, maybe I'd miss visual voicemail...

Re: Iphone 4 - O2 defectors - read this.
 

I used 450mb last month, tvcatchup YouTube and net radio can add up

lucky I'm with vm but signal is a bit sketchy

Re: Iphone 4 - O2 defectors - read this.
 

you not got wifi?

Re: Iphone 4 - O2 defectors - read this.
 

Only in my house, on my break at work/bus journey i don't.

Re: Iphone 4 - O2 defectors - read this.
 

my iphone goes straight on to wifi at work and at home so never really use the 3g, think in the 4 month's i have had it i have used about 30mb in total on the 3g.

Re: Iphone 4 - O2 defectors - read this.
 

Here here. I don't like being restricted.
Only found out myself yesterday.

Checked there site I can upgrade 1 month early for £40 & handset price don't think I'll bother. :mad:

Re: Iphone 4 - O2 defectors - read this.
 

I notice some providers are putting a limit on the amount you can transfer via the BT OpenZone WiFi as well...

Re: Iphone 4 - O2 defectors - read this.
 

You mean like www.hullomail.com that anyone can use?

Re: Iphone 4 - O2 defectors - read this.
 

supposedly it's all because of those pesky file sharers/ downloaders - and not at all seen as a way of making more revenue for the providers at a time when mobile data is becoming more and more commonplace - oh no...

Re: Iphone 4 - O2 defectors - read this.
 

Orange are currently the most expensive, O2 the next, Vodafone the cheapest on iPhone 4 for me so far. That's unless O2 give me a big upgrade discount as I'm due an upgrade and I can tell them where to stick their lousy network!

Re: Iphone 4 - O2 defectors - read this.
 

must thank you for this. Tmobile charge 12 p per voicemail so I basically disable it but thanks to this I can use voicemail again lol I set it up on my HD2 and on my daughters LG android phone. Tried tested and deffo free

Re: Iphone 4 - O2 defectors - read this.
 

Sure, that is a cool app for those that don't have VVM but it would really **** me off to have a feature of the iPhone unavailable and have to use third party apps.

Re: Iphone 4 - O2 defectors - read this.
 

Visual Voicemail is very handy, but it's not something I'd consider when weighing up which network to go with.

However, I have decided to stick with O2 anyway.

Orange's prices & tariffs did initially tempt me, due to the increase in minutes (600 vs. 300) and data (750MB vs. 500MB) compared to O2, for the £35x18m contract. That temptation though was based upon the assumption that the other networks would charge the same/similar for the handset as Orange.

But of course they're not, as Orange's phone prices are actually £50 more than O2 (& £60 more than Vodafone).

Vodafone's prices & tariffs did tempt me, as they are nigh on identical to O2's (e.g. on the £35x18m contract, they both give you 300 minutes & unlimited SMS, while the phone price only differs by £10)... except for DATA: 1GB with Vodafone vs. O2's seemingly paltry 500MB.

But from looking at my usage...

I don't need Vodafone's 1GB, & that was the only real difference between O2 & Vodafone, so why swap.

I don't even need Orange's 750MB, nor do I need Orange's 600 minutes, so why swap (especially if the phone costs £50 more with Orange).

So, I'll stick with O2 I think. No one else is offering enough to make me change, so I'll stick to the network I know.

However... also from looking at my usage, I really don't need contract allowances. And I'm not sure I want another contract anyway. I like the idea of being free of commitment, & paying less per month... So I'll most likely be getting one SIM free on Thursday, & then I'll just switch to PAYG or Simplicity when my contract ends in July.

Best of luck there......unless of course u have pre ordered.

Re: Iphone 4 - O2 defectors - read this.
 

I used the Apple pre-order page on Tuesday to Reserve one for Collection at my local Apple Retail Store.

I would have just ordered one for delivery, but the only option was SIM free, & at the time I still wasn't sure whether I wanted that or a subsidised one on a new contract. Plus of course ordering one online would have meant having to pay before the 24th, & at that point I hadn't yet sold my 3GS.

Re: Iphone 4 - O2 defectors - read this.
 

I swapped over to Voda from o2 and the first time I used voicemail i relaised how damn good visual voicemail is, having to press a series of buttons and waiting to hear you mail just seems so last decade now. So glad that I set up Hullomail it is just like visual voicemail but with extras.

It may be just a small thing but crappy voicemail systems seem to nark me right off at the moment especially the one we have at work that has one of the worst interfaces I have ever seen.
