Hi! I use my company sim in my Iphone 3g that is o2, just watch out for the data usage..... it's very hard to control it and just handling emails i use 15mb a month.

I would also advise turning off 3g if you don't have an inclusive data package. If 3g is on the whole email will be downloaded no matter what size it is and at £2 per mb it could be very expensive.

Re: 3G iphone with a o2 contract sim

o2 contract sim works. Just make sure you get a free data tariff or there really is no point in having one!

Not sure about the visual voicemail, can't say i've tried.

Another trick to get free wifi for a year is to connect to one of the cloud spots and put your iphone payandgo number in. You only have to do it once but then you get free access to all the cloud hotspots!

Re: 3G iphone with a o2 contract sim

will o2 not upgrade the contract to an iphone one so that she doesn't have to pay the inflated payg iphone price?

Yes but there are cheaper (though much more complex ) ways of getting an iphone.

>will o2 not upgrade the contract to an iphone one<

Not so attractive when your contract is a "retention" special, makes it worthwhile using in PAYG iPhone.
