Iphone Question

[Neil]

Just about to buy an unlocked Iphone running the 1.1.2 software but want to make sure I have all my bases covered before I hand over nearly ?300.
I have a current o2 contract so this should work fine i'm told.
I then plan to add the ?7.50 bolt on for unlimited surfing on the Edge network.
I am running I tunes 7.5 and have turned auto updates off for when I connect the phone to the PC but do I need to change a setting on the iphone itself so it doesn't update when I connect to itunes via the phone?
I hope i'm being clear if anyone has any further advice I would appreciate it, I would have gone the official route but as I only upgraded a few months ago O2 want an extra ?219 to come out of the contract .
Cheers...

Nope mate, you don't have to change anything on the iPhone itself, just iTunes.

[Neil]

That's great cheers.
Looks like i'm good to go then.

Have you checked the exact date you upgraded? I thought if you upgraded before the iPhone was announced, you could just switch to it and not be penalised?

[Neil]

Yeah I checked and was out by 8days and they wouldn't budge arseholes!.
Bought one now just waiting for delivery.

i had the web bolt on and i could not get edge on my unlocked pay as u go o2 iphone, i can only connect by wifi ?

[Neil]

Edge doesn't work on Payg only on contract so i've been told.

[Taka]

You can sign up for membership to The Cloud for mobile wifi. Coverage isn't great but if you frequent a lot of cafes, pubs, and what not then it may be worth it...

[IanE]

Might as well get a contract then for that price.

the edge network is absolutely atrocious

[Neil]

the edge network is absolutely atrocious

Its slower than wireless yes but useable.

[CMcK]

Edge is about the same speed as the old 256k 'broadband' I used on cable a few years back. It's loads better than GPRS and not that far off wi-fi.

[Neil]

Agreed.
I have to say I love my Iphone to bits, best gadget i've ever bought tbh can't fault it.

[RobDimmock]

I love my iPhone to. The only thing that is really getting on my nerves is the lack of MMS, but I can live without it. Just when my fiance wants to sen me pics its a whole lot easier then uploading to PC then me getting them from my PC to iPhone. But yeh I am very pleased with it, an can't fault anything else!

[CMcK]

You can still recieve MMS but not send it. Personally I'm not bothered about that as it's something I never used anyway.
