I think O2's new "smartphone tariffs" suck, & not just because of the loss of "Unlimited Data".

I always thought the previous "iPhone tariffs" were a bit tight compared to normal tariffs, but these new ones are worse.

For £35/month, on my 18 month contract which started in January 2009, I get:

Minutes: 600

Messages: 500 (with the ability to use 4 inclusive messages to send 1 MMS or 1 roaming SMS)

Data: Unlimited

International Traveller Service (ITS): Free

Under the new tariffs, £35 would get me:

Minutes: 300

Messages: Unlimited SMS (with MMS & roaming SMS charged separately)

Data: 500MB

ITS: Nope.

Meh. I'm more & more tempted now to buy PAYG & get a Simplicity SIM, or (depending on their tariffs) go with Orange or 3 instead.
