Yay, Verizon will become an iPhone provider! Anything to break the Draconian deal with the Devil that Apple signed with AT&T.

Verizon Wireless Said to Start Offering IPhone in January - Bloomberg (http://www.bloomberg.com/news/2010-06-29/verizon-wireless-said-to-start-offering-iphone-ending-at-t-s-exclusivity.html?utm_source=MESA+Master+DB&utm_campaign=2d58a93e38-my_google_analytics_key&utm_medium=email)

Lucky Brits, the new iPhone is available for a mere £99 when you sign up for a £30 per month service plan. Brits can also purchase the phone unlocked and have options for 12, 18 and 24 month plans as well as pay as you go because there are six service providers in the UK market.That £99 ($150) deal for a 16GB iPhone does commit you to a 24 month contract at £30 ($45) per month for a total of £819 ($1230) for the two years. There are cheaper ways of buying an iPhone e.g. unlocked direct from Apple for £499 but that monthly plan is a decent deal & not out of line with regular prices for any phone for 900 minutes, 5000 texts & 1GB of data. Another deal gives a free phone if you sign up for £45 for 24 months but that does give you 2000 minutes of calls in addition to the 5000 texts & 1GB of data. There is also an offer for unlimited voice calls plus unlimited texts for £45 per month & the handset then costs just £99.
