We have mentioned this before so we thought we would give you a recap. Good news for all you existing O2 Apple iPhone customers because we have seen on the O2 site saying “Existing iPhone customers can upgrade early to the new iPhone 3G for free”, this is brilliant because it means you can upgrade prior to July 11th.

O2 are offering you the chance to upgrade early for the iPhone 3G when it launches on the 11th July and this means you do not have to wait till your contract ends, it does mean however by upgrading early you will have to sign a new 18-month minimum term contract. Best of all, the new 8GB iPhone 3G won’t cost you a penny on our £45 and £75 Pay Monthly tariffs for iPhone. And it’s just £99 on our £35 tariff and new £30 tariff.

If you’ve a friend or family member already on an eligible O2 tariff, they’ll be able to transfer to one of our new tariffs for iPhone.
