The Apple iPhone is out now on Orange & O2 – tariffs, reviews and specification

The iPhone is now available on Orange as well as O2. Orange released the iPhone today and are stocking both the 3G and the 3Gs in 16GB & 32GB variants. We thought this would be a perfect time to go over their tariffs and phone prices as well what O2 has to offer, hopefully helping you to compare the two networks off each other and allowing you to find the best deal!

For starters differences between the two models of iPhone the 3G and the 3Gs, the newer of the two is the latter. The 3Gs brought extra features to the table such as;

• Speed – the new iPhone 3Gs is two times quicker than the standard 3G, it might not seem like a lot but trust us it makes a difference, I was shocked to see how much longer a standard 3G iPhone takes to do things compared to a 3Gs. We
  definitely recommend that you take this into consideration!
• Video Recording – now we know that there are apps available for the 3G to
  record video aswell but the 3Gs has been designed to record video and you can change between images and videos with just one touch of a button. Once you have recorded your video built in software also allows you to edit, all on the device.
• Voice Control – Sounds like a silly feature but it can come in handy, you can say “Next Song” or “Call Bob” all without having to record your voice or calibrate it.
• Compass – yeah we know what your thinking.. But we aren’t sure either.. perhaps if you get lost on the way to the car? Yeah.. moving on..
• 3.2 Megapixel Camera – does what it says on the tin.. improved camera quality, ok so its not a 12 megapixel camera but it is an amazing phone don’t let the camera put you off espcially if you dont use the camera that often!

Orange Tariffs

18 Month Contracts

O2 Tariffs

* Orange have set the data fair usage policy to 750MB. If your mainly using Wi-Fi then this shouldn’t be a problem but we don’t like the idea of data being restricted.

* O2 haven’t set a fair usage policy they just work to the idea that as long as people don’t over do it month in month out then it is truly unlimited. Of the many people we know who own iPhones on O2 they have never had their data restricted nor have they been charged for it!

And if a pay monthly phone isn’t for you then don’t forget you can get a great pay as you go deal as well!
