O2 Announces iPhone 4 UK Handset Prices, And They Are Incorrect

UK mobile phone operator O2 has just announced their handset prices for the iPhone 4 in the UK, although from the looks of the table below, these seem to be about the most confusing handset prices revealed so far.

According to O2 a 16GB iPhone 4 will cost you £279 on a 24 month contract at £25 a month and £209 on an 18 month contract at £30, a 32GB iPhone 4 will cost you £323 on an 24 month contract at £25 a month and £299 on an 18 month contract at £30 a month.

O2 Announces iPhone 4 UK Handset Prices, And They Are Incorrect

So far it looks like Orange are offering the best deal for the iPhone 4, the prices seem to be a lot better than O2′s offerings, I guess I will be switching to Orange unless some better deals are released.

Really confusing table and how much will a pay&go handset be??
O2 is cheaper than orange on some of the plans and you get unlimited texts, also orange charges more for the handset on 18 months than 24 months where as O2 charges more for the handset on the 24 month plan than the 18 month one, confusing.

I dont agree with the statement “orange looks like the best deal because so far”. Oranges Handset prices look riduculous compared to 02′s. For 1, 02 offer a £30 a month 18 month contract with a handset cost of £209. Thats £20 less than oranges minnimum £35 a month contract with a handset price of £229, why would you pay £20 more to have a higher contract?, And thats simmilar across the board. Orange do not offer any free handsets on there 18 month tarriffs and the only free handset available is set at frankly outragous £75 a month contract for 24 months. 02 do not have a contract price higher than £65 a month. The only thing orange offer thats any better than 02′s deals is there unlimited no-wifi internet browsing and to be frank i dont believe that paying the extra is worth it because 500mb is enough for me. Thanks though xx

Hi Lindsey

I did say O2′s prices were confusing we will be comparing all the deals when they are out, but for me personally Orange looks like a better deal.

I am currently with O2.

I’m currently on o2 PAYG and top up about £10 a month.
It’d be cheaper for me to get the iPhone on Orange PAYG, but with not knowing how much i’m going to be using the internet, i’d rather go down the contract route and know that i’m covered.

So at the moment i’m looking at o2. Unless 3 is true to its word and undercuts everybody…

I’m currently on a 30 day simplicity plan which gives me 1200 minutes, 2400 texts and unlimited data for £30 per month.

According to an o2 representative that I have just spoken to, I can remain with that plan (obviously pay full price for the new handset) and importantly they can’t take away the unlimited data deal unless I cancel.

If that’s true it’s time to do some maths..

dont think orange are cheaper at all! they are charging £129 on £45 18 month and £139 on £75 18 month. o2 are only charging £89 and £29 respectivly. this is not even looking at the data on orange with the cap on the wifi and data combined at 750mb.
i think o2 comes out better!!!

I keep refreshing the O2 page, hoping it will make the prices less rubbish. No luck so far

Vodafone looks like the best value to me.

Thats for the Info,

I actually phoned O2 after being sent this confusing pricing table.

Will the price of an upgrade be the same for somebody starting a new contract?

I am constantly being told that I have built up “points” for being a loyal customer for over 10 years (When I have phoned and threatened to cancel previously). I dont want to be paying £200+ for my upgrade, especially if thats the same as a new customer would be paying!! My tariff is £35 a month

Any ideas?
Dave

Thanks for the info is what I meant to say

Dave you are absolutely right!!! I’m with o2 over 4 years and basically offer me the same deal which can have new customers!!! its ridiculous!!!!!!
