iPhone coming to Ireland on Friday 14th March — NO UNLIMITED DATA PLAN
O2 Ireland has announced that the iPhone will finally come to the Republic on Friday, 14th March. The 8GB version will cost €399 and the 16GB version €499.
There are three tariffs available — €45, €65, and €100 per month — but GET THIS. There will be NO unlimited data plan available. A monthly 1GB cap on data will be imposed, with excess data use charged at 2c per MB. Ouch!
Bear in mind, however, that a similar situation arose before the UK launch of the iPhone. At the initial press conference for the device, there appeared to be a data limit which was later
lifted. Could the same thing happen in Ireland?
In addition, there's no Visual Voicemail feature — yet.
It will also be interesting to see whether the appetite for the iPhone is stronger than the appetite for celebrating at the St Patrick's Festival — will we see queues outside O2 stores on Friday, or is the lure of street entertainment and pubs greater?
