Mattwilko92 Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Hi Guys and Girls,My upgrade date is the 12th march and i really want to go for an iphone 3gs. However, the tarrifs are appalling! I am on a very good tariff with orange at the minute and i dont want to lose my unlimited texts. So i was thinking, would it be possible for me to upgrade to say a sony satio, sell that and buy an iphone 3gs on orange pay as u go, and put my contract sim card in?Therefore i could keep my tariff, and my number, and in the long run it will be cheaper because of the smaller monthly payments.So my question is, would i be able to use my orange pay monthly sim card in a orange payg iphone 3gs??Thanks,Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heartagram Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 Yes but you may or may not get 3G signal. I've got a BlackBerry and an iPhone but the iPhone sim is in my mums phone and the BlackBerry sim is in my iPhone but Orange won't register my BlackBerry sim to my iPhone so I don't get any 3G signal with it which is a total pain in the arse. Wish they had told me that when I got the phone! Now I have a 2 year contract with a 3G phone that I can't use on 3G!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Little Green Giant Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 if you upgrade phones can you not keep the same tariff? say upgrade from a blackberry to an i phone. i thought you could just upgrade the phone and keep the same tariff.

heartagram Posted February 22, 2010 Report Share Posted February 22, 2010 You do normally but they added blackberry to my tarfiff for free. I don't know why they won't just send me the settings to get 3G on mine. Bit annoying cause I want to watch tv in traffic jams you can do a handset only upgrade but not on an iPhone. iPhone tariffs are specfic iPhone.
