Carphone Ware House iPhone

Hi,

I'm looking at getting a 3G iPhone but I'm stuck within a contract with Orange.

My contract ends 14th Nov, would Carphone Warehouse buy me out of it? or will I have to wait a little longer?

Thanks in advanced!

reduce it and pay it off and upgrade now or you will have to wait.

Not a chance. O2 has 5 years exclusivity with the iPhone.

The exclusivity period for O2 is 3 years, and even that is subject to certain operational targets being met by them.

I am not privy to such data, but the rumours surrounding a second carrier would perhaps suggest that these targets are not being met.

You might as well reduce the contract to the lowest call tariff £15 i think is their lowest offering, and just keep it! use it as a spares for the next three months, why pay it off? and just get the iPhone now, unless you want your number transferred, then yeah pay it off.

Or you could just wait, its not long and you will be stuck in an 18 month contract with the iPhone anyway, going to have to learn to live with contracts.

ok with orange at the moment you would get better 3g signal but the cs will still be crap so I would say go with o2 the 3g signal will get better

I have no idea if 3 really do have the best 3G coverage, but their customer service is awful and i would never go with them again, a lot of my mates get about 6000,0000,0000 minutes and texts for the same money i pay a month, which is fine, but if there is a problem then they dont want to know!

not to mention every phone that 3 sell seem to be plagued with problems! they would kill the iphone off!!!
