Re: The iPhone thread

Thanks for that Stuart.

That was very helpful.

My only concern is that when I was with T-mobile I had a very good signal at home.

When I went to Orange (they only did the phone I wanted at the time on PAYG) the signal level is very poor at home.

I would love to keep my number but get a orange iPhone contract and get a carp signal.

I guess O2 would be better, and I could transfer my PAYG orange to pay monthly on O2 if the need arises.

Once again thaks Stuart.

Re: The iPhone thread

Just a novelty now - I don't really use mine apart from the odd internet search and as a phone/text device. The app store novelty has worn off

Re: The iPhone thread

Is there a way of conecting your iPhone to your PC and watching whats on the screen on your PC (i hope that makes sense?). I have the Sky Sports app and want to see if i can get it to work on a bigger screen basically, i've tried but can't find a way of doing it.

She replied I couldn't possibly already have an iPhone on Vodafone as they were not out yet.

I shown her my phone and she said it wasn't an iPhone because it had a silver back and iPhones only come in black or white - gotta love these people!

Re: The iPhone thread

that was funny. You should go back in and show them the software and the big shiny apple logo on the back of it I prefer the look of the 2G iPhone to the new ones (I had to replace my 2G for a 3G as the speakers stopped working - insurance job)

Re: The iPhone thread

I have just upgraded my 3G to a 3GS (on O2 Business Tariff, I get to keep the old one) - does anyone know if the 3G will accept a pay as you go sim, with the unlimited data and texts tariff (for the lad, and it's only £15 per month, and he infrequently calls, just texts)?

I have tried it with my personal pay as you go sim, and it works fine except no data.

Re: The iPhone thread

I suppose it could...I can't see any reason why not. You would be better speaking to O2 though.

It doesn't care what SIM you put in, so long as it's an O2 SIM (unless of course it's been unlocked, in which case it doesn't care at all).

The access point info is different for PAYG though, & needs to be changed:

Matt, thanks for this - it is an O2 PAYG sim.
