You wouldnt get the mins or texts which isnt much of a hardship, but you also wouldnt get the free wi-fi or unlimited data plan.

Hi all,
No need to fail anything as announced you can BUY your iPhone from 02, CPW or an Apple store all at the same price of £269.99. Then either go to an 02 shop and buy a PAYG iPhone Sim card for £15 or £9.99 direct it from 02 by phone. No need to fail a credit check just put in your iPhone PAYG Sim and activate it via iTunes. the very fact you can buy an iPhone for the same price even if you are only going to use a PAYG Sim proves the phone sale is not tied to a contract or subsidized.
Well at last until 02 or Apple have to sell you the unlock code when you can then put any Sim in if you want to.

I can see one problem here. If u dont activate O2 can always say the phone is not theirs and dont sell you the unlock code. If you activate then you would have to agree to the contract. You may be able to put in PAYG sim in to activate but most likely in the agreement, you are asked to agree to an 18month contract on a certain tariff plan. I believe the contract is binding under the law once you agree to it (no matter how unfair it is to buyers).

Sorry again but the PAYG is not a contract and either 02 or Apple will have to sell the unlock code. Their is no law that says you have to be a customer of a Network to get an unlock code on an unsubsidized phone as it is not legal to sell an unsubsidised phone that is locked to one Network. That quite simply is where the law comes into effect you can not be forced to use a particular Network on a bought paid for and owned device, it is yours to use on which ever Network you choose it is illegal to have it locked to one Network or if it is to refuse to sell you an unlock code.
