o2 price rises from 1st July 2008 - anyone else had this text AFTER 8 PM

"Calling other O2 UK mobiles and standard UK landlines will cost a minimum of 20p until you’ve made 3 minutes of calls in a day."

So, if you ring them and they hang up in 5 seconds, you get charged 20p. Do it again, 20p... the only thing I wonder is if the call time must be 3 minutes (they could get through £12 this way) for them to stop charging 20p minimum or if the minimum charge is effectively the first minute.

While I would expect the minimum charge is to cover the first minute, I wouldn't put it past them to go for the more expensive (for you) version (call me paranoid .

Yes, I've noticed the prices have gone up...both my daughters are on it and I am goign to look into changing as they are on payg and its 25p a min on o2. Didn't realise til one daughter was moaning (they pay for them selves cos I ama meanie and to me a mobile is aluxury..tho i give thema bit every now and again cos they do use phones for my benifit too..but if you're old enough to have a phone in my view you're old enough to pay to run it...)

I didn't think 0845 or 0870 numbers were ever included in the allowances. I also don't quite get why they would be included and 0800 not

0845 were included by most networks until a year or two ago. I'm still wondering if disallowing them saved all the money they had hoped to save. I know a lot of people who just didn't bother with contracts after that move.

I'm on contract with o2 and I haven't got this text..?

Did anyone get the text from O2 that when you ring the message tells you about the offer £5 free credit with £20 e-top-up? Can anyone tell me the O2 number to call?
I've stupidly deleted all my inbox and need to top-up.
Thanks.
