Solved: O2 contract S5 to iPhone 6

Alexhaden · ‎01-10-2014

Hi all, just came back to 02 after a long break.

I purchased an s5 on a 4g contract, but just can't get used to it, so have fallen back to my iPhone 5 for now (had to change the apn though)

Will be buying a sim free iPhone 6 in a few weeks, so have a few questions

What's the difference between the iPhone apn and the mobile (android) apn? Will I lose anything by not having the iPhone apn?

Why can't I use the iPhone apn?

When I get my iPhone 6, as I'm on a 4g contract, im assuming I'll get 4g if I'm in a 4g area?

Would there be a cost or anything if I asked to move onto iPhone data? Is it worth asking that?

Thanks:)

Just call CS on 202 and ask then to change your data to iData (Data for iPhone). It's free and will allow you to use all the iPhone specific services (VVM, tethering etc).
4G will work just the same as on the S5 assuming you have the required pre-requisites.

On the S5 you would have standard data plan. Ask customer service to change your bolt on to idata. You need this for VVM and is why you have had to change APN.

Hi and Welcome to the forum.

You should get all the required set up texts with settings when you insert your nano sim into the iPhone 6.

If it doesn't then just amend the APN as you did in your previous iPhone.

As said O2 customer service will amend you to iData settings.

Nice choice of phone. 😄

Just a heads up that you won't get 4G until you get your iPhone 6 as the 5 doesn't have the frequencies O2 use for 4G

iPhone 14 Pro (O2 ), S23U (EE), iPad Pro LTE (EE), .
