Hi!
I had a blackberry bold 9700 and swapped it for an iphone 3gs at the weekend, everyone said that o2 would be fine to change my internet tarrif from the blackberry data bolt on to the iphone bolt on - i've rang this morning and 02 at Carphone Warehouse have said that they do not deal with iphone data packages, have said they can put me on a regular data unlimited bolt on for a fiver more a month but can not guarantee this will work (also said they can't do this until the 3rd Dec so any data i use will be charged) - is this right? Has anyone had a similar issue and can advise me on what i should do?? Please help! I'm a useless woman with no idea about technology :D

Not sure how the iPhone data packages work on o2, but on my phone I went from a £35/month data inclusive tariff to a £30 per month + £5 for data. I am no worse off, it is just how many of the companies are doing it now.
As to why you cannot do it until 3rd December - Pass. Probably a contract issue related to your billing cycle.
HERE are the o2 iphone 3Gs tariffs.
Fortunately, for you CPW o2 is being wound down and when you come to upgrade you will be transferred to O2 proper.
Yeah they've been saying that for years :rolleyes: (i used to work for cpw! ) even though they've lost the contract they are still upgrading people to stay with o2 @ cpw ...
Thing is i dont need the tarriff changed, i just need the bolt on's swapped from a Blackberry one to an Iphone one... will a normal 'internet unlimited bold on' work with an iphone or am i likely to get charges??
