I bought my most recent iPhone (a white 3G) back in August 2008<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 On an 18 month contract, that means I’ve fulfilled my commitment but O2 is quite happy to keep on taking the \u00c2\u00a335 a month which partially subsidises the handset cost!<\/p>\n

I’ve been thinking about switching back to Vodafone and an HTC HD2 on Windows Mobile but, in the absense of a clear statement that says I’ll be able to upgrade that device for Windows Mobile 7 (in fact, I’ve seen an APC article that suggests\u00c2\u00a0I\u00c2\u00a0won’t be able to<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0as well as a plea from Engadget for Microsoft to get off the fence<\/a>), I’ll be staying put for a while.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, @jonhoneyball<\/a> mentioned some Simplicity deals from O2 for iPhone users<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 There is an IT Pro article which suggests that O2 are pushing these deals to out-of-contract iPhone users<\/a> but I’ve seen nothing to indicate this – although when I called O2<\/a> they knew about the tariffs and were happy to help me switch (although I did have to tell the upgrades department to stop trying to upsell me and to just do as I asked).<\/p>\n

I’ve elected to reduce my \u00c2\u00a335 monthly payment to \u00c2\u00a320 on a rolling 30-day contract, halving my minutes from 600 to 300 but keeping unlimited texts, data, and Wi-Fi.\u00c2\u00a0 Alternatively I could have had a 12-month contract on the same terms for \u00c2\u00a315, or 600 minutes a month for \u00c2\u00a325 (900 for \u00c2\u00a330, etc.).\u00c2\u00a0 There are some gotchas though (O2 did let me know about these): the account defaults to online billing (no problem); picture messages are 20p (not 4 texts from normal allowance); SMS from abroad is also chargable; and voicemail is now taken from the inclusive minutes.\u00c2\u00a0 Even so, I should still be well within my limits.\u00c2\u00a0 After the initial 30-day period I can switch to another O2 tariff at any time, or give 30-days notice if I decide to terminate the contract.<\/p>\n

Vodafone has similar SIM-only deals<\/a> but there are caps on data usage – I don’t use much iPhone data but others might be concerned by them (My iPhone was unlocked a few months ago<\/a> when other UK carriers started stocking iPhones – iPhone unlocking is free of charge for O2’s pay-monthly customers and \u00c2\u00a315 for pay as you go (PAYG) customers<\/a>).<\/p>\n

So, that should allow me to sit tight until either the next iPhone or a tasty Windows Mobile 7 device becomes available. And the \u00c2\u00a315\/month saving will go some way towards the cost of my next partially-subsidised handset…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
