I'm paying £15 pm with unlimited mins,txts and 2 gb of data.but it's a big jump what I'm paying to get the next tariff I think it's 4 or 5gb.I would like more data cause 4g eats it but not sure Wat to do.any help is appreciated. thanks

I've got 8gb but do well if I use 5gb, trouble is everyone is different.
I'm getting a Note 4 as Samsung have been doing bigger screens longer and are better at it, but ultimately it's your choice
Have a play with some demo ones and see what you like best.

Hi

If your getting one from your Apple Store you can reserve one via https://www.apple.com/uk/retail/iphone/

Have a play with the 6 and 6+ to see which you like and enjoy the experience.

I chose the 16gb as I use DropBox and iDrive.

I also buy mine sim free from Apple.

I'm on the big bundle £20 with 2GB of Data. I consider myself a heavy user and get by on that. It's really down to personal usage.

Perhaps let us know how you get on.

I have the iPhone 6 Plus, but I pre ordered both the 6 and 6 Plus through Apple's website and decided to keep the 6 Plus. I made a mini review of my experience on both of the iPhones which you might find helpful.

I’m on a sim only tariff. I needed to move tariffs recently as my usage changed whereby I needed more data. I get unlimited texts, unlimited calls and 5GB of data for £19 per month. This tariff is usually £24 per month, but I got £5 off of the price every month as I threatened to leave as I could get a comparable deal elsewhere. Might be worth calling 202 and say you are thinking of leaving as you can get a better deal from elsewhere (a hint I was given on here is, when calling 202 after pressing the appropriate number to indicate you are calling from the number you are wanting help on (or words to that effect), keep pressing 0 until you basically hear that you are getting transferred to an advisor). This seems to put you through to the Northern (Leeds?) call centre. They always seem very efficient and helpful on the occasions I’ve rang. Sometimes you can push a deal out of retentions

My data use comprises mostly of watching quite a bit of You Tube videos, along with a bit of emailing (both sending and receiving) and a small amount of surfing. I tend to use my 6 Plus more for watching You Tube videos now, as I find the larger screen makes this kind of thing a better experience than it previously was on the smaller screen iPhones I owned previously. Last month I used approximately 3GB of data, but I'm happy to have a bit of data allowance left in reserve in case I need it.

Here’s a link to my mini review that I mentioned earlier.

iPhone 6 Plus, my thoughts, mini review

No worries.

The link is how I got hold of my 6+

If I go over I add a bolt on.

Just my choice as I don't want to be in a contract wether it's the refresh or 30 day or 12 month sim only.

Here is my help thread for battery and data saving tips http://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Off-topic/iOS-8-Battery-Saving-Tips/m-p/759681/highlight/true#M33337

Also check in your settings to see what's using what in data. Just remember to reset the stats on your anniversary date.

Settings , mobile - the apps say what's using how much data.
