I had an iPhone 3G on a two year contract with 02, the contract ended earlier this month and I decided to get my new phone with Orange instead.
Anyway my dad wanted my old 3G so I put his 02 pay as you go sim card into it, it worked for about 20minutes then froze and switched itself off. Then wouldn't switch back on.

I went into the Apple store and got an appointment. I was told that because the phone is really old, it's just come to the end of it's life. WTF.
The phone is only 2 years old, how the hell can that be classed as REALLY OLD?
Are iPhones only suposed to last 2 years? my mam has a £20 tesco mobile which she's had for 5 years FFS and yet Apple are charging hundreds of pounds for a phone which is only suposed to last a couple of years?

They said I could pay them something like £118 or £180 (I didn't catch what he said properly) and they would replace the phone. I just thought F-that! so not worth it.

Has anyone else experienced something like this? I find it ridiculous that after only two years Apple think it's okay for the phone to just switch itself off and give up.

EDIT: WTF why did I get negged for this? I am telling you what the bloke who works in the Apple store told me.

No go the apple store and demand they fix it...if it's on contract they should....as long as the contract hasn't ended.
