I have an interesting scenario which I'm keen to see the results of. I have a first gen iPhone and a contract with O2 -- but I bough the phone separately. So I have the internet bolt-on already rather than the iPhone plan. I'm curious to see whether the new OS will let me use tethering or not. This will depend on a lot of things but I can use it currently in another phone, and occasionally use the short-lived app Netshare (which hardly ever seems to actually work despite my putting all the right settings in). So it might be that the way to go is to get a contract with the internet connection -- then again, you're looking at a similar price. With O2, by the way, if you have a contract, don't buy a new handset and ring up at the end saying 'well, I can't really afford it any more' they will often throw discounts at you, especially if you can specify a rival carrier plan that would suit your needs perfectly. I discovered this by accident when I was paying 20 a month but would get about the same minutes and texts I used on PAYG for about a tenner. They simply said 'ok, we'll discount the 20 by ten pounds a month and if you don't have a new handset, give you a 50 quid discount'. But you have to be ready for them to call your bluff! that's why dropping to PAYG is the less dangerous one than going elsewhere -- you can always bounce back up. having done this for about three years now, I'll probably buy the new set-up outright and then haggle again at contract's end so it's not a continous thing on my record. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Sussex Mac User Group" group.
