o2 to lose strangle hold on iPhone. Orange sign the contract

**foxtucker** · 28-09-09

Great news for affiliates sick of the strangle hold o2 have held over us regarding the iPhone. Orange will be selling the iPhone in time for christmas '09.

I'm guessing/hoping that this'll also open up the market to additional mobile dealers. Car Phone Warewhores have enjoyed taking the piss for far too long.

More consumer choice means more affiliate revenue. Shweeet!

Yeah, good to see the iPhone 3G S becoming available on another network and it should be good for us affiliates.

The Orange affiliate campaign is available through both DGM and buy.at and is managed by us here at i-level.

I'm afraid we don't have a great deal of information about the iPhone launch just yet, but as soon as we do we'll let everyone know.

If anyone has any questions about the Orange affiliate campaign, please give us a shout on orangeaffiliates@i-level.com.

Thanks,

Matt

Not just Orange... the other Networks will be bringing it on within the next few months as well. I think Orange will be the first though.

That just leaves T-Mobile and 3 yet to declare - T-Mobile is a possibility (they sell it in Germany), 3 is unlikely.

**mattb811** · 30-09-09

Orange and T-mobile have merged so it just leaves 3

Actually, sounds as though Virgin Mobile are currently in talks with Apple as well !

If it really does go network-wide then it could spark a nice little price war for consumers as in other countries where more than one network operator offers the device.

Vodafone will not be selling the 3GS this side of Christmas though.

Hi guys,

As you may know, Vodafone (which currently operates through Affiliate Window) will also be offering the iphone soon.

It arrives in early 2010 but affiliates joined to the programme can still deeplink to the Vodafone site from today so that customers can register for updates:

Code:

Banners, images, specifications, descriptions, tariffs and more promotional material will all be arriving in the next few months, but in the meantime, there are loads of new handsets coming this month, including the HTC Tatoo and Sony Ericsson Satio.

If you have any questions please just drop us a line.
