O2 Online Tariff

Options

I have just changed my O2 Online PAYG Tariff from Text Anytime (300 texts for £10 a month) to Talk Anytime (50 minutes Anytime for £10 a month). Just had a quick question: after having topped up, would I have to use the free 50 minutes within a specific time-frame?

Thanks

    The minutes don't carry over, so you'd have to use them within a month and before your next 'anniversay date' if you wanted to make best use out of it.
    Unused free monthly allowances for Text Anytime, Talk Anytime and Talk Offpeak cannot be carried forward from one month to the next.

    As you probably know, you'll just have to make sure you top up every month, before your anniversary date to continue getting the free minutes :).

    Hi Stealth131

    Thank you for replying but I don't think that I made myself clear. Say that I top up today (26/05), I should be able to start using my minutes from tomorrow (27/05). Say that I only use 40 minutes between the 27th of May and the 26th of June. Would I be able to use my remaining 10 minutes on the say 28th of June?

    Nope - you would not I'm afraid. The minutes would not carry over and so you would not have those 'free 10 mins' available for you to use after the 27th of June. However, as long as you top up again before the 26th June; you'll have a new set of '50 minutes' to use though. Is that clear? :)

    I do remember them doing a deal where if you top up £15 a month, you'd get 150 any network *off-peak* mins and 300 text per month. If you don't make many phone calls during the day...that may be better for you if you don't mind spending slightly more? I used to have that deal and thought it was quite good as I still had the £15 worth of credit to spend on calls during the day.
