Buying an Iphone

Toy_Hero · 26-08-2012, 21:03

I've finally came to the conclusion that I'm gonna purchase the Iphone 4S and put aside my Blackberry. Maybe it's a silly question, but if I bought the Iphone on PAYG, is there such thing as an 'Iphone bolt on' like I have with my blackberry where it offers me 500mb of web/wifi by taking £5 from my credit a month?

I'm avoiding buying the Iphone on a contract, because knowing my luck I'd run up a huge bill. Is it worth buying an Iphone on PAYG if I can get a similar bolt on?

Also if anyone here has an Iphone 4s? Would you recommend it?

Look at Three's plans for iPhone here - one month rolling contract - look at the One Plan - unlimited data etc

http://store.three.co.uk/SIM_Only/Pay_Monthly/iPhone

And Three PAYG prices

http://www.three.co.uk/Store/SIM/Pay_As_You_Go

PS no tethering on PAYG if your a data buff, if not you're fine

I have a iPhone 4s, it's a great phone and suits my needs perfectly. But with more powerful phones out like the S3 from Samsung an of course iPhone 5 possibly around the corner it maybe worth hanging on.

Also as far as the blackberry services bolt that is exclusive to bkackberrys but I'm sure you can get Internet bolts offering x amount of mb.

whoever,hey · 26-08-2012, 21:09

It would certainly be worth waiting for the new iphone 5 to be announced. The currently model is nearly a year old now.

Bolt ons depend on what network provider you are and are not usually phone dependent so you should be able to keep the same bolt on.

As for the iPhone 4S it's a fine phone but there are cheaper and more powerful Android phones available now and with the iPhone 5 due for release soon it may not be the best time to buy one.

Have you used one before?

I've not used one before, but a lot of people have been recommending the iphone, so i've been researching the 4s. I thought I'd ask for opinions on here

I liked my blackberry, but to be honest it's not highly reliable imo and i feel like you can't download many apps without it freezing and slowing down. The only thing that keeps me on it is the Blackberry Messenger. I have considered waiting for the Iphone 5, but it will be insane because EVERYBODY will be straight in for it.

Also for everybody who mentioned networks. I'm on o2. I usually top up £15 a month so I get my unlimited calls/texts and then o2 will also take £5 from that for my bolt-on

Talking of Apps, the iphone only has 7% more apps than the S3. When your talking about 100s of 1000s thats not many considering the age of the app stores.

You are seriously best just going into a shop and playing with the different phones first hand. Take a notepad with you, to jot down what you've looked at, continue online any details they dont tell you in the shop, and find reviews on youtube etc.

Thanks

I shall do that. I don't want to pay for something that won't feel comfortable

Another advantage to getting a iPhone 4s is if there is a software update your phone will receive it on the day it's released. Googles Android for example do not get software updates at the same time. Firstly it has to be tinkered with for you particular make an model of phone, then your service provider may wish to tinker with it some more.

So you may only get say jellybean after the next newer version has been released.There are 100's of Android phones out there right now still on gingerbread. Then if your phone does hit a newer version of Android it may not have the power to run the next version properly.

That's not true is it? do you have ios6? Are there not iPhones not on the latest version or lacking features due to being on old hardware?

Toy_Hero · 26-08-2012, 21:52

Are Iphones reliable as a phone? Blackberrys have a tendency to freeze, and take about 3 years to start up.

All iPhones on sale now are on iOS 5.1 an iOS 6 has not even had a public release.

All phones be they Android, Apple or Blackberry have that problem - even the Galaxy S3 will one day not be able to run the latest OS

No, its not fully true.

If you buy an unbranded Android phone, in other words sim free, you will get the updates on release. Operators follow next. I would advise staying away from Vodaphone or Orange as they seem to take forever if at all.

Most iphones are on the same version but older phones indeed have features missing. The iphone isnt a bad phone itself but the OS is about as stagnant as it gets. Its never changed and with iOS 6 coming it still hasn't changed.

The iphone and new Android phones start up very quickly unlike Blackberrys!

Yes iPhones are very reliable, you have to remeber apple make the phone and write iOS. iOS Also only has to run an a few devices where as Googles Android has to run on a great £500 phone but also a £40 phone. An let's not forget you're only as strong as your weakest link. An making Googles Android compatible with £40 phones is its weak link.

I would completely disagree iphones are very reliable. My 4S went back 4 times and my Mrs had her's replaced 2.

They suffer from sticky home and power buttons, volume buttons that refuse to work as well as crap signals.

Every phone has its faults though so its best to google, go and play with them first and see what suits you.

I had one of the of the original iPhones and my wife had the iPhone 4 and not had any reliability problems at all - the iPhone does seem pretty reliable.

As a poster above said the best way to see what phone you want is to go into a shop and play with them and see what you like the feel of and what jumps out at you and appeals.

Ignore anyone that pushes a particular phone to you as you need to get one that you like - in particular ignore people that slag off Apple or Android - get something that suits you and not some random poster on the forum!

Your logic would indicate the price is an issue? Apple write the software like Google do. IPhone hardware is subcontracted. Running on multiple devices is a positive not a negative.

On iphone you get the latest iOS, but never get any of the new features ever! Let alone later.

I dont have facetime over cell, i dont have iMessage, i dont have Siri!

You should have imessage. Don't you have a 4? My Mrs had her 4 and i was able to imessage her from my 4S.

Siri was bollocks anyway!!

Haven't you got an iPhone 4? If so you will have iMessage and FaceTime over cell is part of iOS 6 which isn't released yet.

It's a shame you don't have Siri as its absolutely fantastic, a real game changer.

What? Are you being serious?!!

It doesn't work!! At least barely anything works outside the US, it fails to pick up my Mrs English accent or my Scottish accent.

It worked slightly better on iOS6 but its in no way a game changer considering its yet another thing that's been around for years and at least worked!!

You've obviously never owned an iPhone so change the record will ya.

Actually i do have iMessage (yes iPhone4) having just looked it up. I thought it was more. My mistake.

Android has the siri anyway.

My point though is that just because Android lags OS' means you just get stuff late.

With iPhone you just never get features, or they remove them like Maps and Youtube.

In another thread you are bored with ios and in this one it suits your needs perfectly. The only consistency you seem to have between threads is your need to mention android and how bad it is in nearly every post. The OP never mentioned getting an android.

Are you on the Apple payroll joining here in case the judgement went against them? Either that or an android phone has seriously wronged you in the past.

Somit a tad wierd here.

Quote: Siri was bollocks anyway!! It's a shame you don't have Siri as its absolutely fantastic, a real game changer. Android has the siri anyway. My point though is that just because Android lags OS' means you just get stuff late. With iPhone you just never get features, or they remove them like Maps and Youtube.

The only consistency you seem to have between threads is your need to mention android and how bad it is in nearly every post. The OP never mentioned getting an android. Are you on the Apple payroll joining here in case the judgement went against them? Either that or an android phone has seriously wronged you in the past. Somit a tad wierd here.
