iPhone contracts - But who?

[Garry Driffill]

Im looking at getting my self a contract with a new provider and i'd like an iPhone. But alot of them are around the same sorta price range after having a look but after sales service who seem pretty fair?

Customer service?
Network coverage?

Orange are doing £30 per month contracts and the phone is free. They also have one of the best 3G coverages

but orange do have a 750mb monthly data cap. They won't cut you off or charge you if you go over it, but if you regularly exceed this by some way then they will "have a polite word" with you about your usage. So depends on how much data you plan to use. If you will be a light user then defo go for Orange for reliability, although their customer service sucked when i was with them

Hi I work for orange yes orange does have the best 3g coverage but the only one youll get free is the 3g not the 3gs and its on a 24 month contract at 34.86 beter off paing an extra 87 quid on a 24 month 35 quid contract and getting the 3gs why not have a look at the satio almost the same but you get a way better camera with it

Don't do Orange! My BB drops on average 8 calls a day due to poor signals. My iPhone on O2 regularly has a full signal where Orange has nothing but O2 is a total ripoff when it comes to data and roaming.

Wait for the Vodafone version.

I am on Orange. The signal is very poor, their service is an absolutely shining example of how not to treat your customers and to top it off, the tariffs aren't that hot either (although on some deals they are competitive to be fair). Why am I still on Orange then? I think it's what they call "inertia" in business management school ie, I can't be arsed to do anything about it. However, I too want an iPhone so I may have to start giving it some thought.
