iPhone 3GS Definitely Coming to Three in July

iphone-3gs-on-3So after yesterday’s rumour, today, Three have added a pre-registration page to their store for the iPhone 3GS, which pretty much confirms that they’ll be selling the iPhone. There’s absolutely no information about pricing or deals, other than they’re asking if you’re interested in an 8GB, 16GB or 32GB model.

There’s also the option to choose between consumer or business customers, so maybe there’ll be some special business packages. At this stage though, it’s all speculation…

    wow definitely wasn’t expecting this. guess VHA has a bigger pull than three alone did.

    I think the Vodafone/3 merger may have something to do with the fact that 3 will soon have the iPhone.

    • Exactly what I said about yesterday’s news. Why should Vodafone get the iPhone and not 3…

  • Randallg

    YES! A happy 3 customer here! Had considered switching this time last year for the 3G and in recent days had definitely decided to switch in order to get the 3GS so I’m so happy Three will have it in July!

    Finally! Looking forward to upgrade my phone to iPhone 3GS. wish they can do it for $29 cap with maybe $20 handset payment over 24 months?

    the roaming charges of 3 makes any phone like the iphone pretty shotty.

    places like underground train stations, and alot of suburbs have bad signal and you go onto ‘roaming’. if then you use ur data downloads on ur iphone, u’ll be charged at 50 cents per mb. !

      I doubt it, but maybe they have found a way in 3.0 to register this change and act accordingly (i.e. no data)?

        Pun, 3’s new roaming agreement with Telstra on NextG (which they don’t charge you extra for broadband use on) should fix that problem, seeing as the iphone also works on the nextg network.

    • Brian

      Just don’t download/use the net whilst you’re in roaming areas then…
      The phone tells you when you’re roaming anyway so it’s up to you whether you choose to use it or not.
      Most metro places, Three is fine

      PS: Happy 3 customer if pricing is right!

      I’ve had my iPhone on 3 for a while now and I have never seen it switch to Roaming. Not to mention there is a setting in the phone to disable data while roaming. If you enable that, there’s no way you’ll get any roaming charges.

    I’m the same Randallg – was getting ready to switch (may still do so cause the gf is on vodafone) but I reckon the data rates will be much better on three!

  • Ryan Hynes

    I guess that makes for more competition. I’m waiting it out for a major iphone upgrade; damn marketing

  • Nowheredotcom

    Can’t believe it yet again they even surprise they’re employees.

    Tethering and MMS now working on 3 with 3.0 !
