What happens when you come to the end of contract?

As above..... what happens when you reach the end of the 18 months? Is it like any other contract where you can keep it going? Will O2 offer you a better deal on the tariff? Can you get a new iPhone out of it?

Mine isn't due to end until December I think but I was just curious if it was the same procedure as any other 'normal' phone contract?

I asked this when I got mine and was told your contract would just carry on the same as any other, so you'd still get free data etc. Presumably the upgrade process would be the same as normal as well.

Hopefully you'll be able to upgrade to a nice new shiny thing that Apple decide to make. :D

As above... the short answer is nothing

Month 19 is the same as month 18. Your contract isn't an 18 month contract, it's a contact with a minimum term of 18 months.

Re: What happens when you come to the end of contract?

The option is of course t change it to a sim only contract, simplicity £20 a month for 600 mins, 1200 text and unlimited data.

It is a true swiz though that visual voice mail doesn't work, buy hey maybe one day!

Then wait till Apple bring out a new toy, and you then start again!
