iphone question

[BRE77M]

is it possible to buy a iphone 3g from either the carphone warehouse or a apple store without signing up to a 02 contract just like the old ones ?
one of my darling kids has just smashed the wife's old 8gb one

Simply....No......

You could try ebay.

Carefone warehouse were offering "pay As you go" iphones (version 1) in Leicester the other week, but didn't want to part with £350 to buy it ........

Plus you had to be on O2

Pay as you go need you to top up every month so in reality is just a contract without having to sign on the dotted line.

If he already has an O2 SIM wouldn't it just be a case of putting the old SIM in the new phone?

Nope, you only need to top up if you want to get the 500 minutes free per month.
