II believe two within a six month period is considered normal.

Not liking to have one is kind of tough, it is almost always necessary in order to get credit.

And not passing one is generally a good sign that one should not be given said credit.

And the point I was trying to make. If O2 don't require you to have one (a data only SIM carries little risk compared to a full data/calls/text SIM), they may get more signups.

Every one I saw in my local Apple store was getting connected to O2 - so that may be why?

Or it could be that O2 are a decent provider?

Or you may be right and they may well be the "sub-prime" of the mobile phone world.

I doubt it, a friend of mine couldn't get an iPhone for ages since he was certain O2 wouldn't give him a contract. Of course now they're on other networks he can.

Who knows. Lets hope that O2 get their data problems sorted, otherwise that is a lot of unhappy iPad owners

Matt

they're not doing a contract SIM

You can get Simplicity for iPhone - or are you looking for something else?

Edit: Er, obviously, iPad != iPhone. It's too early for me!

I notice that PC World still have it on sale in quite a large number of their stores. Surprising - I thought they would all sell out on day 1.

LANGUAGE!!

No need for that, really.

Given their sometimes dubious levels of customer service, especially when it comes to Apple products I think people are staying away from there.

Can you not remember the story where a laptop bag handle snapped and they refused to replace it as it was being used to carry a Macbook pro? they claimed it wasn't Mac compatible as they're too heavy compared to other laptops.
