O2 in the UK has finally released details of the PAYG options for the 3G iPhone. Originally there were rumours that non-contract iPhone would not be available until nearer Christmas and prices for the 16GB version would be nearly £500.

The good news is the new iPhone 3G 8GB for Pay & Go will be available for £349.99 and the 16GB version for £399.99. Not only that, it will be available to buy from 16th September in O2 stores, The Carphone Warehouse and Apple stores.

This also includes unlimited browsing and Wi-Fi for the first 12 months after you activate your iPhone 3G. At the end of the 12 months you can continue to receive unlimited browsing and Wi-Fi for just £10 per month. O2 will notify you before the end of the 12 month period by text and you can easily unsubscribe if you choose to do so.

Note though that you’ll need to use the new SIM card that comes with the iPhone 3G to get your 12 months of unlimited browsing and Wi-Fi access but O2 say you can easily transfer your existing PAYG number and balance to your new iPhone SIM. I assume that if you an exisitng O2 contract customer you should be able to use it in the iPhone 3G but might not get the free Wifi..
