O2 has announced it's introducing a new pricing structure across the network, which will see six new - apparently simpler - tariffs and free voicemail made available to all existing and new customers from 1 February.

This tariff restructuring will also affect the current iPhone tariffs, giving existing users on the cheapest £35 per month contract three times more minutes (600) and double the number of texts (400).

iPhone owners on a £45 per month contract will be offered the same number of minutes and texts as the previous £55 contract - 1,200 minutes and 500 texts. Users on the £55 per month contract will either be offered a £10 deduction on their monthly bill or the chance to upgrade to a new £75 per month contract which includes 3,000 minutes and 500 texts.

Furthermore, non-iPhone O2 customers who pay for 600 minutes or more per month will be offered a free bolt-on service, which includes either unlimited data, unlimited texts or unlimited weekend calls.
