Rumor: o2 to offer free 3G iPhone upgrade and pay-as-you-go option in UK

iPhoneAccording to Macworld UK, o2, the network carrier for the iPhone in the UK, could soon be offering new deals to try to boost sales in the UK. iPhone sales have been sluggish in the UK so far; could this be how o2 plans to change that?

We’ve already heard that the phone could cost as little as £100 on o2, but some new rumors have emerged that it could be given away free on the most expensive tariff—currently £75 per month for 3,000 minutes of calling time and 500 texts, in case you were wondering. As well, a “Pay as You Go” version is rumored to be sold for the same price the iPhone previously cost on contract, which is just £269.

If that wasn’t good enough, existing customers could be in for a treat, Macworld says that o2 will be offering the 3G iPhone as a free upgrade to existing iPhone customers, provided they agree to sign up for another 18 months on their contract. This is something I’m squeezing my fingers tightly for. Please o2, pleease!

Roll on, Monday! If these offers are true, the UK could soon be just as iPhone crazy as America.
