Pay & Go customers can now enjoy the iPhone 3G without a monthly contract. Erica Sadun of TUAW reportedly tried putting a PAYG SIM into a 3G (with data package) and the thing worked fine.  The iPhone in question was activated on AT&T, but it wasn’t unlocked, jailbroken or anything else.
It is also reported at o2.co.uk that the new iPhone 3G 8GB for Pay & Go will be available for £349.99 and the 16GB version for £399.99. This also includes unlimited browsing and Wi-Fi for the first 12 months after you activate your iPhone 3G*. At the end of the 12 months you can continue to receive unlimited browsing and Wi-Fi for just £10 per month. It will be available to buy from 16th September in O2 stores, The Carphone Warehouse and Apple stores.Â
It sounds great for such a premium handset, especially with the 12 months free unlimited data access thrown in. The PAYG phone also comes with o2’s Favourite Place tariff set up, so if you top up by £10 a month you also get 500 minutes free per month to any UK landline or o2 mobile, outside of the standard call costs. But, you should note that visual voicemail and call merging are not available with Pay & Go. It also needs to change your data settings to use services such as Mobile Internet.
