Which 30 days vodafone deal is it? When i added the 10 sim only deal it said:

thats strange ? I just got my 600/unlimited 30 days contract & free mobile delivered this morning just need to get home to see it ...I assume stocks have ceased ?

I took this for the 3 months roaming deal, as it will save me a fortune in Europe.

Diamonds I certainly hope you don't have an o2 contract in term if your taking out another one, because you WILL NOT be able to cancel your o2 one.

Well everyone if I am so wrong how come my o2 friend on a NEW 24 month 100/unlimited text contract just got offered:

Unlimited o2

Unlimited Weekend

Extra 200

added for free as a monthly credit to cover the cost of all 3, as they can from tomorrow no longer add these, or they can cancel ?

They have until 9pm tonight to decide to add them.

Hi hieveryone, sorry can you fully explain that ?

You've got the totally wrong end of the stick here mate honestly...!

Retentions advisors can add up to two free bolt ons to customer accounts. What your 'friend' wouldn't be able to do is accept the deal and say, 'add another bolt on for unlimited texts for £7.50' as of tomorrow - because they won't be available.

I was assuming that you have an o2 contract already but have just taken out a Vodafone one? Maybe I've picked it up wrong?

You've even quoted the reason why you're unlikely to have any right to cancel

O2 reserves the right to withdraw or amend these offers at any time on reasonable notice. Participating customers will receive 30 days notice via text message if changes are made to their disadvantage

Nobody is having their bolt-on removed or cancelled, or materially altered.

So the thread title is inaccurate and highly misleading

A loss of an opportunity to apply for something one does not already have is not the same as having something involuntarily removed, which would of course be disputable. But O2 isn't doing so this time.

O2 ceased their Long Weekends promotion nearly a couple of years ago. But nobody who had it existing on their contract had it removed. Did you make outbursts about that as well?

When they changed charging of 0844 0845 and 0870 numbers (with due notice), they did allow people to cancel.


The Vodafone deals you seem so keen to promote apparently have no optional bolt-ons, so anyone taking your advice could be worse off.

As instances, £20 per month 30 day SIM only contracts with O2 or T-mobile can have free internet add-on included. This Vodafone one does not.

Anyone with an O2 Retentions deal can have a phone as well at that £20 a month level. Why on earth would they want to cancel it to follow your hysterical and duff advice?

again Redux you have another problem with me and the "telecommunications" industry....I read the terms & conditions, if you dont like my post based on them well thats you and the T&C makers at o2's problem...take it up with o2.

3LH was a service you could use in the future, £7.50 bolt ons are a service you can use in the future....on both counts removal to disadvantage/detriment of your remaining contract term of xx months, new customers have to take the new rules from tomorrow as their T&C will be different, current customers are under T&C o2. Removal means your bill will rise if you can no longer add a BOLT on for £7.50 - imagine unlimited calls under the new rules if you can longer add it for £7.50 your bill will rise by xx pence per minute in your minimum contract term.

3 Like Home was a service available to everyone.

A bolt on is not part of your contract.

Massive difference.

hieveryone

But that would be the users decision to use more in their contract - it is not up to the company to provide such services to make it cheaper - they dont have to offer these services.

If your theory were true, then o2 would have had no customers left after the 0845 cancellations - I could have called them and said 'well, I was planning on phoning Sky next week on an 0845 number so I have the right to cancel' - No, I wouldn't, because it wasn't a detriment to me in the first place and I got by just fine without it.
