o2 Tariffs for iPhone 4 – No Unlimited Data!
Posted June 10th, 2010 | No Comments
Following the iPhone 4 announcement last week and the news that 2 weeks today the phone will be available all we need to know is how much it will cost.
Apple have not yet released UK prices but with prices at $199 (16gb) and $299 (32gb) UK prices of £150 and £250 seem a good bet.
Bad News
When it comes to contracts, o2 have just announced their new tariffs for iPhone 4, but it’s not good news.
The table below shows some details of the new tariffs including significant cuts in what they are currently offering,
The 3 biggest changes:
- Current ‘Unlimited Data’ being reduced to just 500MB with most contracts!
- Number of minutes reduced / price increased.
- MMS messages now cost 20p each (previously they were taken out of Text allowance, 1 MMS = 4 texts)
Good News
The good news is that unlike the USA who are stuck with a single carrier (AT&T) we have lots of options. It has been revealed that besides o2, Orange & Vodafone who currently offer iPhone 3G/3GS the iPhone 4 will be available on T-Mobile and Three as well. Nobody but o2 has announced their contracts yet but we can hope that when they do there will be some more competitive tariffs available.
It is also true, well in UK at least. But I know a high proportion of readers to this blog are not in UK, so apologies if the same does not apply to you.
