Mac Forum / Country Specific / UK Mac Group / May 2008New IPhone and iPhone Owners
Anyone any thoughts on how it will work. It would be my assumption that anyone else who queued in Nov is probably really wanting one of the new ones close to release rather than having to wait a full 12 months for their contract to expire. Do you think we will be offered an upgrade patch ? I spotted there is talk of a 100% subsidy by O2 for new customers etc David > Do you think we will be offered an upgrade patch ? I spotted there is > talk of a 100% subsidy by O2 for new customers etc The new ones will likely have hardware the current one lack. So a patch will not give the same functionality. I expect you'll be able to buy a new one and activate it on the same account with O2 as current ones. They may make you take another 18 month contract.

I don't want to end up with two contracts. It would make sense that they try and cater for the current iphone customers though ?

They know many people will, initially, want the new iPhone But surely they have have an upgrade option open to us ? I might stink as a deal but they won't leave us unable to upgrade for another year ? David > So you think we can just extend the current contract? I don't want to > end up with two contracts.

You buy the phone and register it. Why should O2 care which model of phone it is? > Why should it be any different? You buy the phone and register it. Why > should O2 care which model of phone it is? Because they can take the opportunity to tie people into a longer contract period. To make more money. Ian SignatureIan Robinson, Belfast, UK <http://www.canicula.com/wp/> |
