Oh right thanks Hussein for clarifying that. I must admit I was totally
confused and while I know so little I knew it was not something which would
meet my needs and was getting confused that you were changing from having
criticised it to then supporting it.

Hi,
No Eleanor, I have never had an intention to purchase the iPhone. I simply
took advantage of the free shipping to try it and return it without charge.
Whereas I did do some research into pricing, etc. for tariffs, this was not
as a precursor to getting one.
Many apologies if I sent out wrong signals on this one, and if this has only
confused the issue further. I still believe there are fundamental flaws in the
iPhone, and until these are fixed, and more importantly to me, the software
side of things is opened up, that will always be a black mark against it as far
as I am concerned.

Forgive me Hussein but having tried the iphone, am I correct in that you said
it was not for you and that subsequently you informed us that you are getting
one. Just interested.

HI,
Did you try the networks over the phone? I find this is often the best way
of handling such negotiations as it eliminates external pressures found in a
shop environment. Also, I have access to the web and can validate information
being given to me by the sales person. I also have a higher bargaining power
as I can access information easily and use that to counter the stock offers
being given to me by the sales person.
And Steve probably has an iPhone for the same reason many who don't like it
do - they like one or two features of it, enough to part with the cash but not
enough to use it regularly. Either that or something went wrong and they
couldn't return it.

Oh Steve, you're so cutting, lol. Do you think I'd make it up? Of
course you can get different tarrifs, I was quoting the price range I was going
for...and the £35 per month deals were exactly the same, they wouldn't move a
bit, not 1 bit, all said Apple set the tarrif, I went to all the shops doing
that deal and I wasn't going to pay over a hundred for a handset or pay more
then £35 per month, so in your wisdom, what would you have done? What deal do
you have on your iPhone? and more to the point why do you have 1 if you think
they're so poor? Cheers Steve.

Hi,
Never heard such nonsense. The tariffs are set by the operator and are
all different.
All the best

Hi Jim. Apple set their own tarrifs, so it doesn't matter where you go,
all the deals are the same. I've had my iPhone for a few weeks now and as far
as I can remember (don't quote me), you're looking at around £30 per month=300
minutes/300texts/1gig of data transfer and you'll have to pay approx £129 for
the handset on 18 month contract. £35=600 minutes/unlimited texts/1gig of data
transfer and you'll pay approx £87 for the handset on 24 month contract. Best
thing to do is have a look on the web and you'll get the full picture, cheers
Steve.

Hi,
Apologies for the off topic message, but not sure where else I could
ask this question.
I'm thinking of getting an Iphone and I'm wondering what the best cim
is out there, with free calls over all networks, text messages and unlimited
broadband connection. Would I have to go contract with a cim only card that
would achieve the above or could I go pay as you go? If i have to go contract,
who is giving the best deals.
If you feel this is off topic, maybe you could answer the questions off
list at:

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
Jim
