This may well seem like belated news to the average consumer but surprisingly the latest iPhone 4S has not been available to new customers on the O2 network since it initial release back in October of this year, the operator decided to keep its iPhone 4S stocks in-house for their existing customers only.

This meant that unless customers were already signed up with an O2 contract deal or on their pay as you go service then they could not buy the new iPhone 4S on the network, this has thankfully now changed as of last week when O2 deals were made available for the 16GB edition of the latest iPhone.

Now for some more good news, the larger 32GB edition of the iPhone 4S has also now been made available to new customers on the O2 network, there is now a large range of O2 contract offers for the 32GB model which start from as little as £21.50 per month.

This is the cheapest line rental charge available for the iPhone 4S 32GB on O2 but also the cheapest overall deal when you take into account the overall expenditure over the minimum 24 month contract term, the upfront cost of the phone is £399.99 which when added to the line rental cost equates to £915.99.

This is slightly cheaper than the next best deal offered by the Orange network with a £20 line rental fee and £449.99 for the price of the phone which works out to £929.99 over the 24 month contract, however there are bigger benefits to be had when you look at the inclusive volumes offered by these two deals.

The Orange deal only includes 50 minutes of calls, 50 text messages and 100MB of inclusive data to use each month, this would not be enough for an average user and they would end up paying far more once they exceed these small amounts.

The O2 deal for the iPhone 4S 32GB is far more generous with 100 minutes of calls, 500 text messages and a good 500MB of internet access which more than covers an average users data usage over the course of a month.

It is now widely expected that the white edition of the new iPhone 4S 32GB model will also now be offered on the O2 network over the coming days and even the new, larger 64GB edition for those that need extra room for storing files, music, pictures, videos and new applications.
