Orange has denied that some streaming services will be out of bounds to its iPhone customers when it launches the iconic handset on its network on 10 November.
Speculation that customers would not be able to access services such as YouTube and Spotify on Orange iPhones mounted when it emerged that the network was limiting customers to 750MB of data a month.
This was further exacerbated when it emerged that Orange's terms and conditions restricted the use of "non-Orange streaming services" on its handsets.
Orange iPhone pricing disappoints
However, the company moved to quell the fears. An Orange spokesman said: "I can confirm that popular streaming services will not be banned for iPhone users."
Orange is only the second network operator in the UK to offer the iPhone after O2. Vodafone will begin selling the handset next year.

Well done managing to mess this up with data limit orange. Fair use and unlimited would have looked a lot better. Who's gonna buy an iphone from you now?

750Mb Monthly Download Allowance..
If you're paying top dollar for the iPhone surely you'd expect unlimited downloads?
Isn't that the whole reason to own an iPhone?

Hmmm - seems the Orange leapard CAN'T change it's spots - I left them for O2 when the 3GS was released because I was sick of paying through the nose for data allowances (£8 for just 30mb).
They might have a better 3G network than O2 but that just means you'll run out quicker each month!!
