We knew O2 has wowed to offer the iPhone 3G sans any contracts as a “Pay and Go” device. However, when we covered the story in June, other than this information we hardly knew anything else. Now we have more details to report.
First the pricing – O2 will sell the 8GB and 16GB iPhone 3GS for 349.99 GBP and 399.99 GBP, respectively. Yes, it’s kinda expensive but the price includes full year of unlimited web browsing and WiFi. Afterwards, to keep the habit going you’ll have to pour out 10 GBP every month.
As for the release date, the Pay and Go iPhone 3G is hitting the UK market on September 16th when interested users will be able to grab the device in O2 stores, The Carphone Warehouse and Apple stores.
On the downside, though, Visual Voicemail isn’t included in the service with “Pay and Go” iPhone 3G, but something’s gotta give, right?
