Apparently, the latest news is that O2 have now extended the date to 1st July 2006 before they start charging 25p per min for 07744 numbers

This applies to offline customers as well, but as with the June date, I doubt we'll be getting written notice.

Hello guys.

If i have got o2 Leisure time plus( 1000 off peak minutes to landlines and other o2 mobiles), could i use 0844 number off peak and say dial usa/india and not pay a thing, and the minutes i used here would come out of my allowance?

Can someone give me a good 0844 site, thanks..

Or do i have to wait a certain period of time for my contract to become active?

thanks

It's pot luck as to when O2 activate your contract.

Once I got a new phone, and made calls from the allowance almost immediately, only to find they activated my contract start date almost a month later, and I got billed separately for my calls made before the first bill. After calling customer services, I managed to get this reversed.

On 2 other times, the contract was activated on the connection day, and I received a bill a few days later, so I was able to make the calls for that month.

And quite recently, I got a new phone via e2save, and the contract was activated on the connection day. However without wanting to fall foul and go through the hassle, I waited until the bill came. After it hadn't arrived, I called customer services who said the bill is on the way, but I've had an unused allowance (which isn't carried over), and pro rata line rental for about a week, along with a full months allowance.

Seems like O2 change the rules and it's pot luck as to if you can use your allowances. I think the best way might be to call up customer services.
