Hi there I’m thinking about getting an iphone but I’m really confused by it all so was wondering if anyone here would be kind enough to clarify things for me.
My contract with orange has come to an end (ordinary contract with a sony Ericson k850i) so I’ve been haggling with them to try and get a better tariff. I tried to see if they could give me a deal on the iphone but they said no. So then I thought that I could just get a new tariff and phone, then sell the phone and buy a Pay as you go iphone and just put my new upgrade sim in that. But a friend pointed out that I’d need to have unlimited data on my new contract in order to use it on the iphone properly. I just spoke to orange about getting a blackberry with the blackberry data bundle. The guy I spoke to said that this data bundle would only ever work with blackberries though and not an iphone. So firstly I was wondering is this true, will Blackberry data bundles only ever work on Blackberries and not iphones? Secondly if it is true, then would it possible for me to get a contract with unlimited data with orange on some other phone (like a nokia or sony Ericson) and then switch the sim into an iphone and use it or will the data bundle cease to be effective on an iphone?
I asked someone in Carphone Warehouse and they said that you can only use iphone contracts on iphones not generic contracts. The guy in the Orange shop, however, said that you can use any sim on the iphone fine. The 2 threads i found below would seem to support that.
