If you've got an iPhone 3G the chances are you, like me, got one upon release.

For those that don't know you can downgrade your tariff after 9 months of the 18 month contract. It might not appeal to all of you, but I went for a higher tariff at the time than I needed to get the phone for free. Now I can bring the monthly spend down to my normal usage.

Takes a maximum of 24 hours to activate.

I'm paying £45 a month, but my contract is £29.99, I have unlimited texts and unlimited O2 calls, as everyone I know is on O2 ..

Still interesting link, will pass it on thanks

That is interesting as someone who wil be looking for a new phone in the next 3 months, I was going to rule out the I-phone due to expensive tariffs, may make me think again

As a serious traveller and wifi user the iPhone is saving me money. I now get international texts included in my tariff - at a 2-1 rate - and free wifi in thousands of places. The text deal alone has paid for the iPhone itself.

Sounds like a deal there ^^.

I find I've probably saved the monthly cost each month in internet usage alone. Especially since I can't use the internet at work.

The Cloud and Bt-Openzone are a series of Wi-Fi hotspots across the UK in places like coffee shops and pubs. If you switch Wi-Fi on in any of these places you can connect to the net using it for free in your bundle, but not to ones supported by T-Mobile for example (unless you want to pay).

After your year runs out why not buy another Pay As You Go iPhone SIM from eBay? They are only a couple of quid then you'll get another year of free internet!
