iphone on orange

[ontheedge]

I've been given an older iphone and currently have contract with Orange Racoon 25 ?25 a month which I am pretty happy with, phoned them today to see if I can use iphone and they say they want an extra ?10 a month which I think is expensive as this would bring it up to price of contract where you actually get newer phone free, there are 9 months left on my contract. I am awaiting supervisor to call me back anyone got any ideas how to negotiate on this one thanks.

I'm on o2 but don't have an iphone contract (with free internet though) but can use my iphone by changing the settings. Google something along the lines of "iphone on orange contract" and see what comes up - that's what i did with o2.

Just whatever you do, do not upgrade the operating system to 4.0.

My 3G has been render almost completely unusable. Luckily due for upgrade, i can't help but sniff conspiracy to sell new phones somewhere in this upgrade.

Did you jailbreak it Mockney? Mine was and the upgrade caused merry hell but it is fine now!!

I didn't. It just runs like an absolute dog sadly :(

Mockney - try restoring it and then reinstalling. It helped with my 3G that I'd upgraded.

I did at one point find a guide to downgrading the 3G but it's a bit technical - will dig it out if you find it useful though.

?35 seems ridiculous though - although perhaps it's due to you being in contract. O2 switched my Mum to a ?15 a month one to use my old iPhone.
