Vodafone UK to start iPhone sales Jan. 14, 2010

Vodafone announced in September that it would start iPhone sales in the UK in early 2010. Two weeks into the new year is pretty early.

The BBC says Vodafone will start its UK iPhone sales January 14, 2010.

Vodafone UK CEO Guy Laurence says his company has been prepping its network for the added demand the iPhone will bring for over a year.

The new player's prices seem to be in line with rivals O2 and Orange. Vodafone UK's lowest plan is £30 a month for 24 months, with additional charges for iPhones ranging from £59 for an 8GB iPhone 3G to £239 for a 32GB iPhone 3GS. Vodafone will also offer a £35 a month/24 month contract that will include an 8GB iPhone 3G at no additional cost.

Data usage for both business and consumer contracts will be capped at 1GB a month. The company will also offer tethering at launch with plans starting at £5 a month.

Thanks Simon for the tip!

Finally, Vodafone iphone deals are now availableâ€¦

Vodafone offer the best network coverage in the country, meaning that wherever you are, you can get the best out of your super-smart iPhone.

Plus! Vodafone 360 services.

Great news for anyone looking for competitive mobile phone deals on the iPhone deal but didnâ€™t like what O2 or Orange had to offer!

I currently own an unlocked iPhone running on Vodafone. The sim only contract that i've got allows me unlimited Data access. Looks like i'll be keeping my iPhone unlocked for the foreseeable future.

Worst part is O2 gives you unlimited internet whatever plan you get. You even get a year free unlimited internet on Pay and Go.
