iphone on orange or o2?

I am currently with orange and have been told i can upgrade to the iphone, its the same price as o2 so who would be the better option to go with?! the prices are the same from what i can see!

if its the same it comes down to signal strength and quality of service, the overall package. are you happy to stay with orange? if you've had no probs with orange then stick with them.

but they're french. so i wouldnt.

apparently Orange has a bigger 3G network , did you contact orange regarding upgrading or did they contact you? im wanting to upgrade my orange phone to a iphone but may have to wait till december as thats when my upgrade is avail on my contract

Orange supposed to be a better network/less busy.
Orange are using a 24 month contract which is a long-time for a phone

Only thing I was told was that orange are charging £12 a month insurance on the 3GS. Not sure if o2 are the same. I know my 3G insurance is only about £6

cheers guys! yeh its £12 insurance which is a rip off! wounder if i could get it covered on house insurance?!

I doubt it.

My mate did say there were independant companies who insure them for much less but Im not sure how smooth the process would be with an external. Orange tend to have the phone with you the next day. Might be worth shopping around as £144 a year over over a 2 year contract almost covers the cost of the phone

Orange on some packages give free 3g BUT NOT to Facebook or Spotify.  May be important to some.

They also offer 18 month contracts but the fone has to be paid for in part.

Yeah unless you wanna pay £75 a month!

Thats crazy about facebook! That might actually cost them a few sales.

WOW , wtf are Orange thinking ?!!!

i think i may switch to O2 instead as i have broadband with them aswell so maybe save a few £'s on that aswell

after my experience with Orange with my old Broadband i dont have faith in them to handle a product like Iphone now i just read Papa's link , putting restrictions on to say you cant use certain websites and such , that is just silly for a consumer, yeah they might be trying to protect their network, but they should have a network in the first place they are confident that can provide the service before they take on a phone like iphone

What a load of sh1te!

Hardly unlimted is it. A mate of mine signed up yesterday and he is an absolute internet fiend. Hes going to be fuming when he reads this!

I'd say O2... ive been f?cked over by Orange many times in the past

My mum is going to upgrade to an Iphone on her orange contract soon and sell it to me.

Any idea if I'll get use of the internet free?

Will you use the sim she had?

I *think* that the free wifi is based on a phone number link rather than a login.

You certainly won't get phone network data for free.

You can get a decent £20 a month unlimited data SIM only deal these days with something like 600 minutes and 3000 texts though

Na.
 
I can transfer my number over to an orange sim can't I?

called Orange today reduced my plan to the lowest and took off insurance as my contract is up in March

*waves goodbye to Orange*

Mate after reading the above i think this is what i will do!

was it easy to do? as i heard they somtimes refuse to do it!

what are you paying now?!

You can always buy out the rest of your contract and get the PAC code within days to use on your new handset. Only if you want to keep the same number
