O2 Slashes Cost of iPhone Tariffs

To stay inline with the rest of their price-plans, O2 is increasing the allowance of the cheapest £35 per-month tariff to 600 minutes and 500 text messages (up from 200 of each), and cutting the cost of the £55 down to £45 per-month.

They seem very good value now, especially as you get unlimited internet access and free WiFi at The Cloud hotspots. Might even be enough to tempt me away from T-Mobile.

UK iPhone Debuts November 9

At a special event called “Mum is no longer the word” in their Regent Street store, Apple announced the UK version of the iPhone. It costs £269, exclusive to the O2 network and requires an 18 month contract:

  • £35 a month — 200 minutes and 200 text messages.
  • £45 a month — 600 minutes and 500 text messages.
  • £55 a month — 1200 minutes and 500 text messages.

Otherwise, its exactly the same as the US iPhone, which means still no 3G support.
