Orange World

If you’ve been dying for O2’s iPhone monopoly to come to an end, the wait is almost over – Orange has announced that it will stock the iPhone 3G and iPhone 3GS from 10 November, with most monthly deals cheekily undercutting 02 by 1p and 2p.

But there are a few additions to sweeten the Orange deal – if you choose the iPhone 3G 16GB on the cheapest tariff you’ll save £59.98 on O2’s handset pricing. And if you go for the 32GB model, you’ll save £49.23.

Orange is also offering more minutes and messages – O2 gives you 72 minutes and 125 messages while Orange will sling 150 minutes and 250 messages your way.

Orange has also added a 24-month contract for super-users. The £122.34 a month deal gives you unlimited texts and unlimited calls as well as the 750MB of monthly data which all the packages include.

If you fancy a PAYG model, the 3G can be yours for a hefty £333, if you promise to top up £50 per month. All PAYG accounts have 250MB data allowance per month and a year’s access to BT Openzone WiFi spots.

If your fancy’s still not tickled by any of these deals, then it’s also worth noting that Vodafdafone will also carry the iPhone in early 2010.
