Vodafone to sell iPhone in Ireland and the UK
The news that Vodafone UK and Ireland will begin to sell the iPhone in the new year must come as good news to many people. Orange UK is also planning to join the party, and this will hopefully inject a good element of competition into the market.
We have had a number of clients who have been reluctant to switch to get their hands on an iPhone, and in our own case, the O2 network reception is very poor at our office. So the idea of staying with Vodafone and finally being able to upgrade to an iPhone is good news.
What we also would love to see...
1/ O2 finally drop their data cap of 1GB- a silly restriction for an internet enabled device. In reality most people probably never go over this limit, but the restriction feels as if it runs against to the iPhone idea.
2/ Better tariffs. Many people we have spoken to about iPhones cite the tariffs for the iPhone as a negative. There is the perception (rightly or wrongly) that they are higher than for other handsets.
3/ 18 month contract? Hmmm. We would like to see this change to 12 months thanks, but not sure this is likely to happen.
