Has anybody questioned O2 about the Iphone Tariff, as in O2 are my services provider not Iphone and if I want to upgrade my phone and keep my current package, i should be able too, I heard when asked to put it in writing that Iphone are the service provider, O2 give them the Iphone with their current Package €25 per month?? On an upgrade.

Thanks for the info Eoghan. This discussion on Vodafone's tethering policy might also be of interest too. It looks like both O2 and Vodafone have an additional charge for tethering but if you're on one of O2's older plans you don't get hit.

Since this is one of the highest ranking google hits for anyone looking at getting an iPhone in Ireland, it’s worth mentioning that the comparisons above are no longer valid.

O2 have recently substantially improved their iPhone packages. For a start, they have removed their data cap, so that now [subject to fair use blah blah] the iPhone has unlimited data. It also costs less upfront, and the monthly talk/text bundles are very similar.

@Diarmuid – I saw that too. Wonder if Vodafone will tweak their price plans a bit when they make the iPhone officially available?

FYI I was just googling about the iPhone in Ireland and came across this page. Currently O2 are offering the GS for E40/month with 150minutes and 100texts which already looks like a better deal to me than the lowest plan on Vodafone?

Hi every body !
I have a question…
Can you get from Vodaphone Ireland an Iphone but with prepaid card ?
I mean no plan, just a card you need to recharge if you spend all you phone credit like the one I have here in Budapest.
The reason is that I might moving to Ireland in March 2010 to work.
Thanks for any further info…

As far as I know it’s not on general release yet – Vodafone contacted people who registered their interest before Christmas (through their website). It is available to some people, just not the general public yet.

Hey how come wen i called up the customer services today they told me that the iphone wouldnt be availibe untill at least march…. then they proceeded to offer me the 360 thingy…… the reason i called was i seen the iphone offered on vodafone uk and assumed that it was here too!!!

is it available here or not?? because according to some of the other posts above it is !! its all very confusing!!

thanx btw all the info that has been supplied already has been 10X times more enlightening than the 20 min call to customer services!!

The Idea that either O2 or Vodafone are more competitive than the other is realy only a falacy. Either company will have maybe 5 or 6 different price levels but there are probably 15 different customer spending levels which. I dont think either of the two have ever changed their price plans to match exactly the others at a lower price. They compete for customers at different Levels.

Vodafone probably will not price to smash the market, They probably wont change their current price plans for the i-phone and the handset pricing will probably be exactly the same as o2 but I suspect they will have a huge marketing campaign (which o2 didnt do) and people will change over. Also if one of their packages is on the money for customer at a particular level they will also win customers. (unlimited vodafone to vodafone is a big cherry.).
