Official: O2 and Carphone Warehouse to slash 8GB iPhone price

£100 off

Carphone Warehouse and O2 have announced that they will each knock £100 off the price of Apple's 8GB iPhone tomorrow, as predicted earlier today.

Already own an iPhone? If you bought it from CW in the last 30 days, the company will give you £100 worth of gift vouchers, it said.

There's no comparable offer from O2, which also said the special price will be in force only until 1 June. The carrier also said the offer was subject to "stock availability".

From tomorrow, both firms will sell the iPhone for £169. However, the 16GB handset remains set at £329.

It's not clear whether Apple will also cut the price of the handset tomorrow, or whether the deal is simply a matter of O2 and CW subsidising the sale price to boost demand.

Contracts start at £35 a month for 600 minutes, 500 texts and unlimited internet access during that period.

You must have agreed to be spammed to get the £100

I got this from Carphone Warehouse;

"In regards to this offer being offered relating to the Iphone there are

the following terms and conditions.

- You must have purchased your Iphone at the higher price on or after

the 17th March

- *** You must have provided permission for Direct Marketing and other

information to be sent to you*** at the time when you purchased your

Iphone." (My emphasis)

As I see it then, if you said no to being spammed when you activated, you're not getting your pennies.

re: Whats a title?????

the unlimited data access period probably is per month, yes. but seeing as you pay them 35quid each month, then you get unlimited data each month too

at least, in the 5 months i've had my iphone with o2, i've used it for tons of data access and i keep checking and every bill there's never any charge for data useage

No, it's your wallet, to get the drinks in.
