What PAYG packages or rates could I consider for a S/H iPhone?

I've just been given my son's old iPhone and I need to get a suitable service which will cover me for some internet access as well as occasional texts and the odd phone call. I'm not a heavy user, so am looking for a PAYG option without having to pay a monthly top up for the little that I use the phone.

I'm currently on Orange, and I believe that the iPhone is locked to Orange (though I guess that could be altered). I would also like to keep my existing number. What options are there - my son suggested O2 or 3.

Unless the iPhone was bought directly from Apple, you're probably correct about it being locked. They can be unlocked by Orange for a fee of around £15 however, it was previously using a contract SIM which has now finished then I believe they're obliged to unlock it for free.

I'd personally recommend taking a montly SIM only plan on a one month contract. The Virgin SIM deal is pretty amazing. £12 for 1200 mins, unlimited texts and 1Gb of data. Three are awesome for data plans as most of their tariffs offer unlimited data. Check each website first for coverage.

If it's locked to Orange and you can't be bothered with the hassle of unlocking it, then some of the Orange SIM only plans are pretty decent. Best if you pop into an EE store as I can't remember their best offers off-hand.

  • Multiple packages from different sellers from Amazon? I recently got an iPhone, so I ordered some cases and screen protectors from Amazon. Each thing all came from different sellers. Two of the orders are from USPS on different dates, so I should be fine there. The rest of the 5 packages are going to be delivered by Fedex Smartpost around the same dates.So, I was wondering, will they just give me all those packages at once when they deliver them if they all are able to be delivered on the same day?
