I would guess they're talking about O2 accesspoints.

There wont be any restrictions on using your own WiFi network or other free public accesspoints. That's what I assume anyway, but we *are* talking about a limited phone without some other very basic things like copy/paste and MMS, so you never know.

correct (at least not here or in the USA)

They couldn't restrict the usage of your own or free wifi access, as wifi isn't something that's controlled over the phone network

they could only restrict you on O2 access points

though as i've said before, the iphone is a bad idea....but a few people here seem intent to waste their money despite the advice anyone gives......they almost seem to ask just to go against everyone and try to prove a point

I know that but knowing 02 the will send a command to the iphone after 12 months to lock out wifi until another is sent

If that was the case there will be a crack for it

they offer similar plans here,
you get free 3g data for the first month
so you can see how much usage you will use on average

I guess i live in a country where is just not fair to pay so much money for a cellphone that comes with no benefits cause even if you buy it to a company, we have no public wifi access, and very limited multimedia messages with the calling plans, so is just a waste of money...

So, i apologize cause it may be that my opinion is bassed on my own experience here, and for your country would be fantastic... even if is not a big competition for other cellphones in the market in the order of its features.
