hey Ewan, thanks for posting my find :)

i was then alerted to this from @tomkiss:

essentially O2 might disconnect you for doing it! which would be cutting off a very obvious revenue stream, one that it seems they don't think is significant enough to worry about. interesting!

so i asked @jamesparton, and he's poked O2 on twitter:

to quote myself (sorry):

"@tomkiss lol, really? so they'd rather not have my business than enable me to use their network? sounds like the record industry!"

let's see how this one turns out, maybe we can embarrass them in to letting us continue to give them money for the unlimited data WE ALREADY PAID FOR!

or we can organise some sort of protest/flashmob/exodus with subsidised iphones (as we'll have been disconnected, we only pay Â£59ish for a phone, woot!)

This is brilliant, Ewan, thanks for finding and posting about this. Don't have my iPhone yet (and my other phone will be a Nohkeeya), but I suspect this will be useful to me very very soon
