  At the moment, I'm on a business tariff with T-Mobile, and I also have a SIMplicity tariff with O2, under my name, which I have been paying for well over a year for my wife.
  
  I'm looking to upgrade soon, and I've been thinking about getting us both iPhones.
  
  My question is, it says that you are only allowed 1 iPhone per user, would I have to pay for the second iPhone, despite paying for two monthly subscriptions? And if so, how much?
  
  The other question I have relates to the credit check side of things - as an existing O2 customer of well over a year, would they still put me through a credit check?
  
  The reason I ask is when I signed up for my SIMplicity tariff originally, I had two of them, and I got credit checked twice, and as I only had the 2nd SIMplicity tariff for a month, before moving to T-Mobile, I ended up having 3 seperate credit checks done in a short space of time, which didn't do my credit rating any favours, and as a long standing customer, I don't see why I should have to go through yet another credit check?

  
  They always re-credit check on a new mobile contract.
  
  my friend has an iPhone through his business. He thinks he can have up to 100 iPhones with his account plus he has more minutes and texts for less money with his particular business tariff, or so he says anyway.

  For your music, set up a smart playlist (or any playlist) with the music you want, and you can tell iTunes to only sync that playlist with your iPhone. No need to set up additional users accounts, or duplicate any music you've already got.
  
  You can do the same with your iPod when you reach the point that you've got more music than it can store.

  Can't speak for O2, but with Orange we only perform the initial credit check for however many handsets/connections you require.
  
  Any further credit only uses our own in house credit check, not external.
  
  The only time this may differ is if the original connection was taken out through CPW.

  That's very helpful, thanks. Does anyone else know any more about the O2 stuff?

  Re getting another O2 contract, I have 3 contracts with them, when i took the 2nd and 3rd contracts with them, all they did was an internal credit check, which was to make sure my last 3 direct debits have gone through ok. There was no external credit check. All they ask you is do you want the 3 contracts on one bill and or as one direct debit.

  Thanks for that Darth, I've got 15 months of cleared first time payments from them, as well as about 4 previous fully settled with all bills paid on time contracts from the past.
  
  Just doing my homework, my upgrade isn't for a while yet, although I'm tempted to go ahead and get one for my wife provided the second handset isn't too expensive come August.
