I'm not surprised by Orange enforcing such limitations - I had a Pay-As-You-Go with them before getting my iPhone3G with O2. My contract is up with O2 on 11th Jan 2010 and I'll be looking to see what's the best deal. Hopefully by then Vodafone will also have the iPhone and there may be competition to try and keep my business - whether that is a cheaper upgrade route / more competitive plan / Pay-As-You-Go. I've been fairly happy with O2 (3G coverage could be better, occasional dropped calls) but would consider switching network if the price is right - I'd be seriously tempted to try Vodafone. My previous experience with Orange has not been great, and their attempt to try and fleece iPhone customers when they don't even have exclusivity is just what I'd expect from them - they've always given off the image of a smug and stupid company - what more do you expect from a company that has a bunch of confusing tariff's named after bizarre animals.
