Yes you do not need contracts to own the iPhone 3G and new iPhone 3G S, the prices are as follows below.
iPhone 3G 8GB will cost you £342.50, the iPhone 3G S 16GB will cost you £440.40 and the iPhone 3G S 32GB at £538.30. When you buy the new iPhone from O2 you will get 12 months of unlimited web and Wi-Fi which is called the O2 Web & Wi-Fi Bolt On, you can keep this until the end of the 12 months for £10 a month if you like.
To get the 12-months all you need is the new SIM that comes with the iPhone 3G, if you are already with O2 Pay & Go you can easily transfer your number to the new iPhone. Pay & Go does not give you Visual Voicemail, Internet tethering or call merging, unlimited data and Wi-Fi applies to use in the UK only,
Tariffs:
- Top up £10-£14 and get 500 minutes
- Top up £15-£29 and get 1000 minutes
- Top up £30+ and get unlimited minutes

I Am outraged With o2 at this time,
Well ino that pay and go is just buying the phone and thats it, But i find it hard to believe its the same with the iphone, as you know that newer models WILL be released,
there customer service is horrible,
o2 have really made a mistake, with pay and go and contract, they are ditching their old customers for new ones when we know that this wont work because we have been with o2 for so many years and tied to a contract, new customers have the option to leave,
the prices for both plans of the handset is unreal,
in conclusion i think o2 will eventually pull out and lower the prices on contract and pay and go, to avoid future complaints etc at this time i think its best for them too.
o2 better lower the prices, its actually cheaper this year because of apple, and then o2 have to make their money alot more, the just damn right greedy ! their all ready making enough out of us!
i think o2 will change their mind if they want to avoid court cases with their current customers to get out of the contract.

Annoyed O2 Customer
Can you approach O2 with your own iphone (unlocked illegitimately) and get the pay and go option without hassle?
