If you’ve been following our coverage on UK tariff pricing for iPhone 4, you’ll likely understand the networks are planning to introduce a cap on our data as soon as we sign up with them for iPhone 4. One such network who were the first to announce this move was O2, but sign up to O2 with a micro SIM before June 24th and you may<\/em> just be in luck. <\/p>\n

According to Twitter user Tony (@Giant_Hogweed), he was able to keep unlimited data<\/a> by signing up with a micro SIM. The story goes that Tony picked up his micro SIM and instead of using it to transfer an existing contract, he inquired to take a out a new one at which point he chose O2’s SIM-only \u00a325 per month plan, which offers him 600 minutes of call time, unlimited texts and the big one – unlimited internet. <\/p>\n

“I have just picked up my Micro Sim from O2. 600mins unlimited texts and Internet. Sim only on 30day \u00a325 pm. Sign up before 24th no Internet restrictions.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yes, according to Tony if you sign up before June 24th with a micro SIM, O2 will impose no internet restrictions on your contract. If true, this is good news for those of you who were a little upset about the change. Yes, I’m looking at you .. #O2DataDay<\/a><\/p>\n

[Update]<\/strong> – Twitter user @hollyalyxfinch notes that unsurprisingly this tariff ruling\/workaround doesn’t seem to have filtered down<\/a> the @O2 management chain yet.<\/p>\n

“Just been into my local O2 and this manager wasn’t positive that the unlimited data would be guaranteed on that tariff :\/ so I’m personally just transferring my existing contract, which does have unlimited data until renewal, onto the micro sim, which they gave me no problems with.”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n
