Unless you’ve been living under a considerably large rock (one which doesn’t have internet access) for the past few weeks, you’ll know the iPhone is going to be landing on Orange very soon. For the first time in the UK, you’ll soon be able to use the iPhone 3GS on another network besides O2, without having to jailbreak the phone.
‘Tis big news, as our own news section has commented on, and possibly the biggest bit of news recently has been that Orange have now announced their pricing structure for the iPhone.
As much as I don’t like the iPhone (and I don’t), that is properly newsworthy, that.
So, what can you expect?
Well, if you cast your eye down this blog posts, you’ll see I’ve grabbed the pricing guide from Orange’s website, for your perusal, since there’s no way I’m typing that lot out. Seriously, there’s about 403 different tariffs on there, it’d take me ages.
Well, alright, there’s 9 pay monthly packages, not 403, but still…
As you can see, though, the big thing with Orange’s iPhone tariffs is, as with O2, data access. As in, you get unlimited data access (subject to a fair usage policy, naturally). Oh, and as with O2 again, the pricing’s geared very much towards a 24 month contract, and they’re the ones that’ll give you the best deal on the phone itself.
So, yes, if you’ve been waiting to get your hands on an Orange-flavoured Apple phone (yes, I’m aware that joke was awful, but I’ve typed it now, and I fear the backspace key), now you know what you’ll be paying to get one.
