The tariffs are what I expected, overpriced.
Disappointing lack of choice for the 24-month column
You must be mad to get a 24 month contract - no upgrade for 2 YEARS!Originally Posted by directhex
My 18 month contract is just about bareable.
What about "tethering" - if I have to pay like on the iPhone tariffs then I'll give it a miss and stick with Nokia...
Otherwise 600 mins, 500 texts for £34.26 is the same as the usual O2 tariffs, but you also get unlimited web and Wi-Fi wheras the regular tariffs would only give one or the other of those...
They have been offering 2 bolt-ons for a long time now, I have 2 bolt ons 800 mins and 1000 texts for £35 a month with an XDA Orbit II, and my contract is up this month, but I am waiting for the Xperia X2 or something similar.
Hmm I was just browsing the shop and it only seemed to be offering me 1 included bolt-on...
I'll go recheck!
...
Nope online shop still only wants to offer me 1 bolt on with a new contract and a Nokia N86 at £34.26, 18 months...

Could be because it was an upgrade
Huh, no PAYG option, quite fancied one if they were doing a similar tariff to the PAYG iPhone. Guess it's Apple or Android, then.
Must be...Could be because it was an upgrade
I'll have to see if O2 like me enough to improve on the stock deals, I'm due an upgrade...
Do it via the retentions team, you get a LOT more for your money, esp if you are on a higher contract
From £35 a month for 500 mins 500 texts for 12 months with a K850i I got them to
£27 a month 1200 minutes 1000 texts, unlimited data via gprs (worked with tethering also) and the SE Xperia X1i phone on 18 months for £50, that was 40% discount on the line rental, for less minutes and texts would cost MORE per month
WANT WANT WANT WANT!
i have been with o2 for 6 years, BUT 5 of those were with PAYG, and this year has been with simplcity with 1 month rolling contract.
you think if i try to get out of my contract they will be able to do the palm pre for cheaper, i am also on o2 broadband and form my account my mum pays a iphone 3G contract.
Thanks for the advice
I don't actually use all the minutes and texts I have now, 500 of each is more than enough for me... but unlimited data, Wi-Fi and tethering are absolute essentials for me for work, saves me having to pay for a seperate data package and use a stupid USB stick (bluetooth modem as with Nokia N Series is much more convenient). If I don't get the data I might as well have a dumb-phone on a £15 a month sim-only deal...
Anyone know much about how "tethering" works with the Pre, is it as easy as with Nokias PC Suite?
visit www.precentral.net
ITS a haven for pre info, including homebrew, which has tethering.
it has its own homebrew app store, (all free) and MANY of those homebrew apps have made it into the Palm App store. Palm have also stated that any app they may reject, they would be more than happy for it to be on homebrew. Palm has embraced homebrew!
that's actually really good
