iPhone

Apple iPhone has made its next steps in Europe. As of today the iPhone will be officially offered in Austria and Ireland too. The exclusive carrier for Austria is T-Mobile (same as in Germany), while the place to get it in Ireland is the O2 network (same as in UK).

Now anyone interested in the Apple iPhone already knows what it's all about, so we won't be getting into details about the handset itself. Instead we will concentrate on pricing and the available contracts.

O2 in Ireland will be selling the Apple iPhone for the same price of 399 euro for the 8GB version and 499 euro for the 16GB one. Signing a 18-months contract with O2 will get you access to the three available tariffs.

For 45 euro per month you get 175 minutes of talk time, 100 messages and 1GB of wireless EDGE traffic. For 65 euro per month you get 350 minutes of talk time, 150 messages and 1GB of wireless EDGE traffic. And finally, for 100 euro per month you would be able to enjoy 700 minutes of talk time, 250 messages and 1GB of wireless EDGE traffic. Visual voicemail is not available and data traffic exceeding 1GB will be charged at 2 eurocents per MB. You can find more about the tariffs here at O2 online store
