31.25% April 2026 Price Increase from O2
Hi all, got an email last week from O2 about their annual price rise, which am sure many of you also had. Great wording (not) "From April 2026, your airtime plan will now be increasing by £2.50 instead of £1.80." Main point of this isn't about the £2.50 increase, it's the % it represents of 31.25%! Unsure of the fixed…

Wife's Honor phone - fed up with app market notifications
The OH has an Honor mobile that keeps on giving her notifications (several times a day) of updates and new apps for the App Market. She asked me to somehow stop this from happening. I expect the App market can't be removed but is it possible to prevent the notifications by removing permissions or through some third party…

Tesco Mobile pay-as-you-go customer? Be prepared: it may push you to buy a bundle
Tesco Mobile is pushing its pay-as-you-go (PAYG) users to move to its new bundles. Failure to do so means paying for Tesco Mobile's standard PAYG rates, which it's hiked by up to 213%. If you're one of the 1.4 million users affected, it's worth looking at switching to a cheap monthly Sim instead – unless you just keep your…

My Motorola G7 Power is 8 years old and needs replacing. I have a limit of about £200 I use the phone for web browsing and emails/txt - not calling... I have looked at Blackview (rugged) 5G but am unsure I need a fingerprint scanner, decent camera, fast charging and a large battery.

O2 Device plan issue
Hi, I am looking for advice please. Due to the price rises with O2 I contacted them and asked to leave my Airtime contracts. I was clear I did not wish to cancel my device plans. The agent made an error and cancelled my device plans along with my airtime agreements. I contact o2 straight away and today they have admitted…

O2
I cannot find that this has been posted, but I opted out of O2 because of the price increase. I am SIM only and what I didn't realise that as my contract didn't finish until next July, I am now facing a bill of £89 as a percentage of what I should have paid until that date. Had anybody else experienced this and did they…

My wife and I have recently came to the end of our 24 month contracts with O2. The contract expiry date was 6th November 2025 for both contracts. What I'm wondering is how will our deal with O2 work now? Will we still be charged the current fee on a rolling month by month basis or will we have to look for another contract?…

ID Mobile
Just migrated from O2 due to their above inflation rise. Migrating was relatively easy with O2 giving me a PAC code promptly. Coverage & costs are great BUT Customer Service is dreadful! There is no human contact, first time is BOT then you get through to live chat BUT IT TAKES AGES TO CHAT TO SOMEONE - UP TO 10 MINS TO…

Looking for a bit of clarification with my o2 deal.

During that time, he couldn’t keep track of his phone usage, and the service provider ended up deactivating and cancelling his SIM.
