News - Orange UK to offer Apple iPhone this year

[HEXUS]

The iPhone is to finally end its monogamy with O2 in the UK and take on another operator.

I wonder if the iphone will still be network locked.... Or will o2 users who want to move to orange have to buy (get an expensive contract) a new iphone and ditch their old one...

[Funkstar]

Can anyone else small a price war?

Also, do we think T-Mobile will also get it, or is this indication that Orange will be the dominant brand in this merger? (which is what I suspect anyway).

Or here's another scenario, Orange for consumers, T-Mobile for business. They do have the MDA line after all which is very popular.

this seems to be good news and we could see some competitive pricing, fingers crossed. Now if only i could get a decent signal on my current Orange phone, then i wont have to switch to O2

[directhex]

O2 had a contract for iPhone exclusivity with Apple which expired recently, so don't assume other networks won't see the thing too

Question is, did Orange get their deals inked early enough to get the iPhone in the Q4 marketing materials?

iphone on Three within the next month please, my contract is up for renewal begining of Nov

[Arthran]

Assuming O2 maintains its relationship with Apple, that will leave Vodafone as the only UK supplier not to offer the popular smartphone.

Forgetting Three are we here?

There are 5 major operators atm (not counting Virgin, Tesco etc), so even after the orange/tmobile merge that still leaves 2 out of 4 operators without iPhones.

Schoolboy mistake in the Article guys
