T-Mob or O2? PAC question

[saldawop]

Hope you dont mind me asking here,wasnt sure where else to ask.
Currently have an iphone 3gs.Contract ends mid January.
Have no particular allegiance to O2. before the iPhone I was with T-Mob and had been since the Mercury days.

Does one have an advantage over the other?T-Mob looks pretty good at the £31.50 18mth contract (700 min, unltd txt and unltd Internet), phone costs £97.87.

As for O2, I have no idea what tariffs they are doing for the HD2.

I understand that unlimited internet is actually not unlimited on either network...does one have a more generous allowance than the other?I have heard 3GB mentioned in relation to T-Mob.Does that sound right?

If I do decide to go to T-Mob, how does the PAC work?Do I have to give them the code straight away?Could I use the phone number supplied, then in January give them the code andget number changed over?

As far as Im aware T-mobile block certain ports in their internet to stop you viewing live tv or using myplayer over 3g for example

Yep, you can use their number temporarily and supply a PAC code for your old number when you receive it. From what I recall you have a month to use your PAC code once it's issued, but you can delay your request for as long as you need.
